Endless Pandemic Satisfies Leftist Dreams

After issuing guidance in May that people vaccinated for Wuhan coronavirus no longer need to wear masks indoors, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) again reversed course this week. 

Unlike a professional communications operation, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky made the announcement on a phone call. She then followed up during an interview with CNN about the reason behind the change. 

"We put this guidance out because the science demonstrates that if you are vaccinated, you could potentially give disease to someone else," Walensky said. "In some fully vaccinated venues, if they are unmasked, and there are a few people who are transmitting there as a fully vaccinated person, it is possible to pick up disease in those settings." 

Walensky, the same woman who literally cried in March about "impending doom" that never happened, also wants us to believe the Delta variant is far more concerning than the original virus. 

By now, thinking Americans have realized this isn't about science, logic, or reason. Instead, it's about reaching the Left's dream of government control. It's their way to keep moving the country toward a socialist and communist system. 

Government bureaucrats, including Walensky and President Joe Biden, want vaccine passports. Given Walensky says vaccinated individuals can infect each other, the passport isn't about stopping the spread of the disease but rather about issuing social credits. It also bolsters the leftist tactic of pitting Americans against each other and separating people into groups. It's a great way to other "the unvaccinated" as a problem without any context or explanation about why someone may not have taken the jab. 

On the economy, the pandemic has been a perfect opportunity to advance socialist policies. Forced government shutdowns have allowed politicians to act as saviors to those they put out of work, and endless unemployment benefits have implemented a de facto universal income system. If the economy is shut down, the government can just send a check, and the Left expects Americans to be grateful for the service. Don't mind the inflation consequences, which will make everyone's life even more miserable and expensive. 

The cancel rent crowd has also been appeased for months, and after the Supreme Court recently shot down the Biden administration's federal eviction moratorium, which screws over private property owners, President Joe Biden is asking Congress to do a run around the decision. 

"In light of the Supreme Court's ruling, the President calls on Congress to extend the eviction moratorium to protect such vulnerable renters and their families without delay. In addition, he has asked the U.S. Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, and Veterans Affairs to extend their respective eviction moratoria through the end of September, which will provide continued protection for households living in federally-insured, single-family properties," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki released in a statement. 

Finally, what is with this push from the federal government to get everyone vaccinated? Instead of focusing on vulnerable groups? What about the millions of people who have natural immunity after being infected? What about individuals under the age of 65, without underlying medical conditions, who have a 99.5 percent chance of surviving the disease? What about those who are choosing to rely on their immune systems rather than a vaccine the FDA has only approved for emergency use? According to the CDC's own data, 80 percent of Americans who were hospitalized or died from Wuhan coronavirus were obese. Why are the healthy being targeted for punishment or mandates? 

While American bureaucrats continue with their tyrannical panic, the Chinese Communist Party — which sent the pandemic to the U.S. and the rest of the world — is loving all of it, especially because the Left is pushing America to be more like them.
