No doubt feeling that it has been a job well done, and that the bio-war has been won, and that weird soldiers now need to rest, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former director of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and current board member at Pfizer, said that declining Covid cases indicates that it is time to lift more pandemic-related restrictions. He is one of the few US technocrats thinking about how and when the covid restrictions will end. “The only way to get compliance from people and get accommodation [is] if we demonstrate the ability to withdraw these [mandates] in the same manner in which we put them in,” Gottlieb said.
However, the ruling class is divided now that the covid narrative has crumbled. The UK is moving to drop the mandates, since while they claim the vaccine program has been a smashing success, the truth is that Omicron completely escaped the rather large-holed spike protein net of the mRNA vaccines. In other jurisdictions such as Western Australia, discussed in another post today I am told, there is more of the same, with the mandates lasting possibly for years. As the old insecticide spray once said, “When you are on a good thing, stick to it.”
