Ignore Fauci, See Your Family and Go to Church

Well, here we are again. With the latest version of Wuhan coronavirus swirling, medical fascists and tyrants are telling Americans to shun their unvaccinated family members for yet another holiday gathering. 

Out of an abundance of caution they don’t want you going to church on Christmas either, even if you’ve had three doses of the vaccine. After all, that would be gathering in a large group.

“One of the questions that Dr. Walensky and I and Dr.  Murthy and others get asked very frequently is that, right now, as we get to the Christmas holiday and the New Year's, would it be safe for individuals who are vaccinated, who are boosted to get together with family in the setting of the home?  The answer to that is: Yes,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said during a press briefing this week, failing to mention vaccinated individuals also spread the disease. “But I want to make sure this is not confused with going to a large gathering -- and there are many of these -- parties that have 30, 40, 50 people in which you do not know the vaccination status of individuals.  Those are the kind of functions -- in the context of COVID and particularly in the context of Omicron -- that you do not want to go to.”  

The science shows Omicron is mild. According to doctors in South Africa, where the variant was first discovered, symptoms have been mind for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. 

“There's no reason you can't trust us when we say it's mild disease," South African Doctor Angelique Coetzee, who announced the new variant to the world, said in a recent interview. "There's no need to hospitalize any of these mild cases. There's really no need. In these patients, recover within about five days. Whether you are a child or 80-years of age. Whether you've been vaccinated, whether you've not been vaccinated. Whether you've suffered mild diseases, other comorbidities, this is what we see. This is the real experience." 

Further, Bloomberg reports hospitalization rates in the country are far less than during the Delta wave. 

“South Africa delivered some positive news on the omicron coronavirus variant on Friday, reporting a much lower rate of hospital admissions and signs that the wave of infections may be peaking. Only 1.7% of identified Covid-19 cases were admitted to hospital in the second week of infections in the fourth wave, compared with 19% in the same week of the third delta-driven wave, South African Health Minister Joe Phaahla said at a press conference,” their report states. “Health officials presented evidence that the strain may be milder, and that infections may already be peaking in the country’s most populous province, Gauteng.”

So, why the need for this medical apartheid inside your own home? Or to reject “large groups” like your faith community at church services? 

There is nothing that gets government tyrants more hyped up than being able to keep people away from their families and communities, tearing them apart under their orders. It’s the ultimate power and end game to total control over the life of an individual. Don’t trust your family they say, especially the "unvaccinated," but instead rely on the false notion that government will take care of you. 

Omicron is more infectious but far more mild than previous variants of the pandemic. This was expected and predicted. The virus is dying out, 200 million Americans are vaccinated and countless have natural immunity.  Make the best decisions for your family, but do so without Fauci’s bad and terribly cynical advice.
