The positive rate of testing for #COVID19 is still rising per BIOFIRE. However, today it's 3.4% compared to 7.5% a year ago and 10.9% a year before that.
The rate of increase *may* be decreasing. We'll know within a week or two. In general, one might expect it to do so, as this summer surge *should* hit its peak in three weeks.

COVID diaries, 11:36am Tue. 8/24/2021
Whew. It took me all morning to get through my work emails. And I've got one student out (with COVID?) and another's had a death in the family due to COVID.
And later, welp, y'all. Kemp's deployed the National Guard to the hospitals. We're in the shit now.
(How soon we forget.)
#COVIDIsNotOver but we're all wantin' to act like it.

OTD in 2020 a poll found that the majority of #GOP voters thought that the US #COVID19 death toll, which had reached over 176,000 in 8 months, was "acceptable"; that was 3 times the US death toll in the entire Vietnam War https://toilet-guru.com/blog/63.html?s=mb #TrumpPlague

When Trust Goes Bust
Public trust. Is it engendered or eroded when elites, experts, and egos generate and double down on “dead right” narratives that distort and even deny reality leading to deception, disorder, dysfunction, and even destruction of life and do so for dubious and decidedly power-hungry and vainglorious ends?
You know the answer but here are few recent examples that answer this question:
Public trust in higher education eroded when Claudine Gay, the first black woman to become a (DEI-hire) president of Harvard, was forced out over plagiarism allegations after only seven months in the post.
And again, public trust in higher education eroded when elites at Cambridge University failed to do its due diligence and DEI-hired the youngest Black professor in the university’s history and described the plagiarist as a “respected scholar.”
Public trust in the Supreme Court eroded when the Joe Biden-nominated and DEI-hired Ketanji Brown “black girl magic” Jackson, a woman who would not define what a woman is and does not understand the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, was seated on the highest court in the land.
Public trust in the Supreme Court eroded when the Barack Obama-nominated Sonia “wise Latina” Sotomayor, a vocal political partisan and a woman who “gruesomely compared babies in the womb to being brain dead during oral arguments,” was seated on the highest court in the land.
Public trust in institutions – education, business, legal – erodes when the DEI curve is not flattened because HR departments solely administered by women welcome lower standards out of a need to be “inclusive.”
Public trust in a brand eroded when a company’s female marketing executive ignored customers and partnered with a trans-activist to suit a woke agenda and almost single-handedly destroyed the brand.
Public trust in a brand eroded when a company’s female CEO ignored customers and redesigned the company’s logo to suit a woke agenda causing shares of the company’s stock to drop like a rock as customers vowed to never step foot in the store again.
Public trust in the church and church leadership eroded when Sarah Mullally, another preachy Progressive who is a self-declared feminist and supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and activism and who has strongly backed asylum and migration, was elected Archbishop of Canterbury on January 28, 2026.
Public trust in the church and church leadership and the transcendent eroded when The Church of England covered the interior of the oldest cathedral in England in graffiti in order to represent the world to the world.
Public trust in climate experts eroded with the climate alarmism claims of Al Gore and with the scientific consensus predictions of climate doomsdays that never happened.
Public trust in the media and journalism eroded with the fawning over the DEI picks Claudine Gay, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and fabulist Jason Arday, and with the whack-a-doodle nonsense of climate experts.
Public trust in the MSM erodes every day with its talking heads calling people “election deniers,” (nee “COVID science deniers” and “climate science deniers”) for questioning the integrity of the 2020 election – “the most secure election in history” – and for questioning anything that comes out of their mouth.
Public trust in scientific authority has gone bust with the exposure of a public health official with a God complex – the man, the myth, and the legend who calls himself “the science” . . . the vainglorious Anthony Fauci.

If I had one-trillionth the ego of Princess-Diaries Anthony Fauci and one-trillionth the gall of the talking heads of legacy media and of the politicians and celebrities who worshipped Fauci and themselves worshipping him, I would say “I told you so” about that pompous ass. But I’ll let the record speak for itself.
In a December 29, 2020 post My Unmasked Hero, I wrote
“Are you angry yet?
“Why is Anthony Fauci, a media hog, goal post mover, and dangerous buffoon, telling us how we should live our lives?
“Why are hydroxychloroquine and alternative COVID19 treatments blacklisted? Do you think Big Pharma and Big Tech oligarchs and their foundations have something to do with that?
“Did you know that “the country’s lockdowns were meant to emulate those carried out by the Chinese Communist Party – modeled to strip civil liberties and exert authoritarian control over citizens?
“Why are all deaths reclassified as COVID-19 deaths?
“Why are healthy people being masked and locked down?
“No more studies are required. I am angry (and mask less)!”
My Unmasked Hero does not refer to Anthony Fauci.
My Unmasked Hero refers to a woman who stands her ground in a CVS store when being confronted by an employee and customer about being maskless. The woman adamantly declares that she is “done” with being a sheep and blindly following COVID-19 orders that restrict her freedom:
“I am a healthy person. I am not crazy.”
“I’m not saying COVID’s not real. I’m just saying, I’m not sick. I’m not sick and asymptomatic spread has been shown to be a myth, so why am I going to be treated like a sick person?
“Do you know that there have been fewer deaths in [2020] than in [2019]? All they’ve done is recategorize all the deaths. This is not what they’re telling us it is. It’s a lie. This is a lie, I’m telling you.
“It’s a lie and everyone’s buying it. And it will go on, and on, and on as long as they feed us this lie and we comply with it, and I am done. Tonight, I’ve reached a breaking point, I’m done. I know I’m not reaching any of you in here, I don’t care.”

Thousands of people from all over the world read my posts during COVID. With dozens of posts I warned readers about the fiendish Dr. Faustus Fauci and about his scientism sorcery.
I warned readers in dozens of posts and short stories about the authoritarian ways people were being dealt with under Fauci’s flip-flopping-keep-the public-on-the hook public health decrees.
I warned readers about the effects of lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing, and about vaccination requirements that included vaccine passports and a possible roll out of a digital social credit system to control the public.
In my April 11, 2021 post Are We to Be Their Playthings? I noted the disdain for the unvaccinated in a NYT article (White Evangelical Resistance Is Obstacle in Vaccination Effort): “Distrust of scientists has become part of cultural identity, of what it means to be white and evangelical in America.”
And, I asked
“So, we are to trust Anthony Fauci, who with Francis Collins of the NIH, was behind the gain of function experiments gone awry in Wuhan China? Are we to trust scientism – scientific claims devoid of empirical evidence and debate and derived from ideology?”
I warned readers in an October 17, 2021 post about the adverse effects of the COVID vaccine. Here’s an updated summary: (UPDATED) Exclusive Summary: Covid-19 Vaccine Concerns | Sharyl Attkisson
In my September 26, 2020 post Tales from the Lockdown Crypt I warned about the increase of suicides and opioid overdoses due to COVID lockdown policies. And I posted The Great Barrington Declaration:
“As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.”
I warned readers about good people being canceled on social media and in MSM for speaking out.
I warned readers about the CDC-planned quarantine camps (for a flu-like virus!).
I warned readers about the NIH’s devious Dr. Francis Collins colluding with Fauci to create the gain-of-function virus and to hide its Wuhan lab origins.
I warned readers about the untested COVID vaccine and the suppression of any talk of natural immunity by public health officials under the back-room direction of the self-enamored Fauci. We now know that lockdowns were enforced and any talk about natural immunity was delayed so that the vaccine might be rolled out.
I wasn’t alone in my warnings about the dangerous effects of the untested vaccine:

On November 7, 2021 I provided a document which says . . .
We conclude that the claims made using these data on the safety of exposure of women in early pregnancy to mRNA-based vaccines to prevent COVID-19 are unwarranted and recommend that those policy decisions be revisited.
In my January 2, 2022 post Mysteries of the Known Knowns I asked
“Why are we being used as lab rats?
“How is it that government entities demand our accountability about all things COVID BUT the manufacturers of the vaccines are NOT held accountable for what they dispense? If the risks are not discussed, how can there be informed consent?”
And
“If it can’t be questioned, is it science?
Bureaucrat overlord Anthony Fauci has effectively declared “I am the Way, the Science and the Life. No one comes to COVID freedom except by me.””
And
“Is COVID Absolutism behind the Current Psychic Epidemic?
“How is it that countries with the majority of their populations vaccinated are in panic mode? Why are there calls for more panic, lockdowns, passports, and mandates? Is science, logic or even altruism behind this? OR, is the desire to create a new social order under totalitarian control behind creating a fear-based populism?
“Why are people going along with the manufactured panic? Why do “the masses whole-heartedly accept everything that Dr. Fauci or other national and global health officials proclaim”?
“Why the collective psychosis?”

On March 5, 2023 I posted this video:

In a May 19, 2024 post I wrote:
“As we saw during COVID, the collusion of science and state powers forms a dangerous mix. We were told and made to “trust the science” about masks, lockdowns, social distancing, and the COVID vaccine for a flu virus that was 99.9 % survivable for healthy adults who were not very elderly.
“The elites of public health central planning lied to us about immunity so that the vaccine could be pushed by the medical-industrial complex. They told us lies about hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin so that the vaccine could be pushed by the medical-industrial complex. They told us lies about the origins of COVID to protect the medical-industrial complex that created a gain-of function virus.”

I warned readers about scientism – the deadly admixture of science and politics to produce the transfer of power into the hands of a few elites. And now that Anthony Fauci’s diaries and emails and texts have been exposed, COVID scientism can be described as the deadly witches’ brew of science and egotism.
Anthony Fauci epitomizes what the elites and experts of the Ruling Class, of Progressivism, of socialism and communism are capable of: draconian measures to ensure compliance to massive egos
Long time readers will know that I have warned against the totalitarian impulse so prevalent in misanthropic group above. For, they deem the public as eggs for their glorious omelets.
As a reminder, the nature of totalitarian ideologies include
Simple, Irrefutable Beliefs (the “science is settled”)
Promise of Utopia (“two weeks to fatten the curve” & “vaccinations will stop COVID”)
Blame and Persecution (“the unvaccinated are the cause of increased cases and the need for continued lockdowns”)
Concentration of Power (Fauci: “I am the science.”)
The Means Displace the Ends (the Big Pharma-sponsored Pravda media censoring opposing voices and posting daily death counts to produce mass fear and compliance with COVID scientism)
The Illusion of Perfecting Humanity (“We’re all in this together.”)
The above is taken from Totalitarian Ideologies 101: We need to start teaching students to recognize totalitarianism so they can resist it. (See PDF below.)
With this post and the many I’ve written, I am pointing out that there is information that the Pravda media (MS NOW, CNN, NYT, etc.) never gave the public, information that would have engendered public trust and saved lives.
History and current events reveal that anything can be rationalized when politics is everything and power its ultimate goal. Public trust erodes when elites, experts, and egos generate and double down on “dead right” narratives that distort and even deny reality leading to deception, disorder, dysfunction, and even destruction of life and do so for dubious and decidedly power-hungry and vainglorious ends.
“All persons possessing any portion of power ought to be strongly and awfully impressed with an idea that they act in trust, and that they are to account for their conduct in that trust to the one great Master, Author, and Founder of society.” – Edmund Burke

Claremont Institute Senior Fellow Angelo Codevilla had this to say about America’s Ruling Class — And the Perils of Revolution:
“This dismissal of the American people’s intellectual, spiritual, and moral substance is the very heart of what our ruling class is about. Its principal article of faith, its claim to the right to decide for others, is precisely that it knows things and operates by standards beyond others’ comprehension . . .
“Because ordinary people will pervert reason with ideology, religion, or interest, science is “science” only in the “right” hands. Consensus among the right people is the only standard of truth. Facts and logic matter only insofar as proper authority acknowledges them . . .
“That is why the ruling class is united and adamant about nothing so much as its right to pronounce definitive, “scientific” judgment on whatever it chooses . . .
“The fact that the “hockey stick” conclusion stands discredited and Mann and associates are on record manipulating peer review, the fact that science-by-secret-data is an oxymoron, the very distinction between truth and error, all matter far less to the ruling class than the distinction between itself and those they rule.”

I Read 1000 pages of Fauci Diaries. It’s Bad. | Dr. Vinay Prasad
https://youtu.be/PpdC1S2XeQI?si=ZVXTYNGZnOsmVA8W
In late July, Senator Rand Paul publicly released over 1,000 pages of notes that Fauci had kept—on a government server—during his time as Covid-19 czar, between 2019 and 2022. Shortly thereafter, Fauci was forced to testify before the Senate, on July 29. Then in early August, Paul and fellow Republican senator Ron Johnson released a set of texts, obtained from Fauci’s government-issued cell phone, between him and other health officials. In the following weeks, the “Fauci Diaries” sparked a new debate over Dr. Fauci’s legacy.
The pages, as well as Fauci’s testimony and subsequently released text messages, revealed an alarming gap between what Fauci told the public and what he told others privately and admitted to himself—about the virus’s possible origins, concerns over vaccine safety for pregnant women, the effectiveness of boosters, the efficacy of school closures, and more.
Dr. Vinay Prasad is a hematologist-oncologist who broke early with conventional wisdom on how to handle the pandemic and later became the FDA’s top vaccine regulator. He has also read the Fauci diaries in full, and he’s here to break down every revelation.

An unanswered first-order question from the COVID-19 pandemic is this: Why was America’s pandemic doctrine in 2020 apparently so lacking after nearly forty years under Dr. Anthony Fauci’s leadership and after spending more than $60 billion preparing for the next inevitable outbreak? (Emphasis mine.)
Fauci And The Pandemic Playbook That Wasn’t – American Thinker
In May 2021, Janet Woodcock, the Acting Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), sent an email to Dr. Anthony Fauci, then director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and Dr. Francis Collins, then director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director, expressing concern about the large number of adverse events she was hearing about following COVID vaccinations. . .
Woodcock said she had personally received reports from people, including many healthcare professionals, experiencing hard to classify adverse events that were not being captured by existing surveillance systems like VAERS.
She said all three of the vaccines— Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson—were resulting in these injuries. (Emphasis mine.)
[David] Morens and his co-conspirators also used his Gmail account to share nonpublic information from the NIH about COVID-19 and “back-channel” information to an unidentified senior NIAID official, who appears to be Anthony Fauci, the institute’s former director, according to court filings.

“That’s the difference between governments and individuals. Governments don’t care, individuals do.”
-Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad“The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivalry of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in fine, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise.”

“Why are hydroxychloroquine and alternative COVID19 treatments blacklisted? Do you think Big Pharma and Big Tech oligarchs and their foundations have something to do with that?
“Did you know that “the country’s lockdowns were meant to emulate those carried out by the Chinese Communist Party – modeled to strip civil liberties and exert authoritarian control over citizens?
“Why are all deaths reclassified as COVID-19 deaths?
“Why are healthy people being masked and locked down?
“No more studies are required. I am angry (and mask less)!”
My Unmasked Hero does not refer to Anthony Fauci.
My Unmasked Hero refers to a woman who stands her ground in a CVS store when being confronted by an employee and customer about being maskless. The woman adamantly declares that she is “done” with being a sheep and blindly following COVID-19 orders that restrict her freedom:
“I am a healthy person. I am not crazy.”
“I’m not saying COVID’s not real. I’m just saying, I’m not sick. I’m not sick and asymptomatic spread has been shown to be a myth, so why am I going to be treated like a sick person?
“Do you know that there have been fewer deaths in [2020] than in [2019]? All they’ve done is recategorize all the deaths. This is not what they’re telling us it is. It’s a lie. This is a lie, I’m telling you.
“It’s a lie and everyone’s buying it. And it will go on, and on, and on as long as they feed us this lie and we comply with it, and I am done. Tonight, I’ve reached a breaking point, I’m done. I know I’m not reaching any of you in here, I don’t care.”

Thousands of people from all over the world read my posts during COVID. With dozens of posts I warned readers about the fiendish Dr. Faustus Fauci and about his scientism sorcery.
I warned readers in dozens of posts and short stories about the authoritarian ways people were being dealt with under Fauci’s flip-flopping-keep-the public-on-the hook public health decrees.
I warned readers about the effects of lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing, and about vaccination requirements that included vaccine passports and a possible roll out of a digital social credit system to control the public.
In my April 11, 2021 post Are We to Be Their Playthings? I noted the disdain for the unvaccinated in a NYT article (White Evangelical Resistance Is Obstacle in Vaccination Effort): “Distrust of scientists has become part of cultural identity, of what it means to be white and evangelical in America.”
And, I asked
“So, we are to trust Anthony Fauci, who with Francis Collins of the NIH, was behind the gain of function experiments gone awry in Wuhan China? Are we to trust scientism – scientific claims devoid of empirical evidence and debate and derived from ideology?”
I warned readers in an October 17, 2021 post about the adverse effects of the COVID vaccine. Here’s an updated summary: (UPDATED) Exclusive Summary: Covid-19 Vaccine Concerns | Sharyl Attkisson
In my September 26, 2020 post Tales from the Lockdown Crypt I warned about the increase of suicides and opioid overdoses due to COVID lockdown policies. And I posted The Great Barrington Declaration:
“As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.”
I warned readers about good people being canceled on social media and in MSM for speaking out.
I warned readers about the CDC-planned quarantine camps (for a flu-like virus!).
I warned readers about the NIH’s devious Dr. Francis Collins colluding with Fauci to create the gain-of-function virus and to hide its Wuhan lab origins.
I warned readers about the untested COVID vaccine and the suppression of any talk of natural immunity by public health officials under the back-room direction of the self-enamored Fauci. We now know that lockdowns were enforced and any talk about natural immunity was delayed so that the vaccine might be rolled out.
I wasn’t alone in my warnings about the dangerous effects of the untested vaccine:
Fauci privately raised miscarriage risk from mRNA vaccine dose two | Fox News
On November 7, 2021 I provided a document which says . . .
We conclude that the claims made using these data on the safety of exposure of women in early pregnancy to mRNA-based vaccines to prevent COVID-19 are unwarranted and recommend that those policy decisions be revisited.
In my January 2, 2022 post Mysteries of the Known Knowns I asked
“Why are we being used as lab rats?
“How is it that government entities demand our accountability about all things COVID BUT the manufacturers of the vaccines are NOT held accountable for what they dispense? If the risks are not discussed, how can there be informed consent?”
And
“If it can’t be questioned, is it science?
Bureaucrat overlord Anthony Fauci has effectively declared “I am the Way, the Science and the Life. No one comes to COVID freedom except by me.””
And
“Is COVID Absolutism behind the Current Psychic Epidemic?
“How is it that countries with the majority of their populations vaccinated are in panic mode? Why are there calls for more panic, lockdowns, passports, and mandates? Is science, logic or even altruism behind this? OR, is the desire to create a new social order under totalitarian control behind creating a fear-based populism?
“Why are people going along with the manufactured panic? Why do “the masses whole-heartedly accept everything that Dr. Fauci or other national and global health officials proclaim”?
“Why the collective psychosis?”

On March 5, 2023 I posted this video:
>> Dr. Tina Peters discusses vaccine and miscarriages
In a May 19, 2024 post I wrote:
“As we saw during COVID, the collusion of science and state powers forms a dangerous mix. We were told and made to “trust the science” about masks, lockdowns, social distancing, and the COVID vaccine for a flu virus that was 99.9 % survivable for healthy adults who were not very elderly.
“The elites of public health central planning lied to us about immunity so that the vaccine could be pushed by the medical-industrial complex. They told us lies about hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin so that the vaccine could be pushed by the medical-industrial complex. They told us lies about the origins of COVID to protect the medical-industrial complex that created a gain-of function virus.”

I warned readers about scientism – the deadly admixture of science and politics to produce the transfer of power into the hands of a few elites. And now that Anthony Fauci’s diaries and emails and texts have been exposed, COVID scientism can be described as the deadly witches’ brew of science and egotism.
Anthony Fauci epitomizes what the elites and experts of the Ruling Class, of Progressivism, of socialism and communism are capable of: draconian measures to ensure compliance to massive egos
Long time readers will know that I have warned against the totalitarian impulse so prevalent in misanthropic group above. For, they deem the public as eggs for their glorious omelets.
As a reminder, the nature of totalitarian ideologies include
Simple, Irrefutable Beliefs (the “science is settled”)
Promise of Utopia (“two weeks to fatten the curve” & “vaccinations will stop COVID”)
Blame and Persecution (“the unvaccinated are the cause of increased cases and the need for continued lockdowns”)
Concentration of Power (Fauci: “I am the science.”)
The Means Displace the Ends (the Big Pharma-sponsored Pravda media censoring opposing voices and posting daily death counts to produce mass fear and compliance with COVID scientism)
The Illusion of Perfecting Humanity (“We’re all in this together.”)
The above is taken from Totalitarian Ideologies 101: We need to start teaching students to recognize totalitarianism so they can resist it. (See PDF below.)
With this post and the many I’ve written, I am pointing out that there is information that the Pravda media (MS NOW, CNN, NYT, etc.) never gave the public, information that would have engendered public trust and saved lives.
History and current events reveal that anything can be rationalized when politics is everything and power its ultimate goal. Public trust erodes when elites, experts, and egos generate and double down on “dead right” narratives that distort and even deny reality leading to deception, disorder, dysfunction, and even destruction of life and do so for dubious and decidedly power-hungry and vainglorious ends.
“All persons possessing any portion of power ought to be strongly and awfully impressed with an idea that they act in trust, and that they are to account for their conduct in that trust to the one great Master, Author, and Founder of society.” – Edmund Burke

Claremont Institute Senior Fellow Angelo Codevilla had this to say about America’s Ruling Class — And the Perils of Revolution:
“This dismissal of the American people’s intellectual, spiritual, and moral substance is the very heart of what our ruling class is about. Its principal article of faith, its claim to the right to decide for others, is precisely that it knows things and operates by standards beyond others’ comprehension . . .
“Because ordinary people will pervert reason with ideology, religion, or interest, science is “science” only in the “right” hands. Consensus among the right people is the only standard of truth. Facts and logic matter only insofar as proper authority acknowledges them . . .
“That is why the ruling class is united and adamant about nothing so much as its right to pronounce definitive, “scientific” judgment on whatever it chooses . . .
“The fact that the “hockey stick” conclusion stands discredited and Mann and associates are on record manipulating peer review, the fact that science-by-secret-data is an oxymoron, the very distinction between truth and error, all matter far less to the ruling class than the distinction between itself and those they rule.”

I Read 1000 pages of Fauci Diaries. It’s Bad. | Dr. Vinay Prasad
https://youtu.be/PpdC1S2XeQI?si=ZVXTYNGZnOsmVA8W
In late July, Senator Rand Paul publicly released over 1,000 pages of notes that Fauci had kept—on a government server—during his time as Covid-19 czar, between 2019 and 2022. Shortly thereafter, Fauci was forced to testify before the Senate, on July 29. Then in early August, Paul and fellow Republican senator Ron Johnson released a set of texts, obtained from Fauci’s government-issued cell phone, between him and other health officials. In the following weeks, the “Fauci Diaries” sparked a new debate over Dr. Fauci’s legacy.
The pages, as well as Fauci’s testimony and subsequently released text messages, revealed an alarming gap between what Fauci told the public and what he told others privately and admitted to himself—about the virus’s possible origins, concerns over vaccine safety for pregnant women, the effectiveness of boosters, the efficacy of school closures, and more.
Dr. Vinay Prasad is a hematologist-oncologist who broke early with conventional wisdom on how to handle the pandemic and later became the FDA’s top vaccine regulator. He has also read the Fauci diaries in full, and he’s here to break down every revelation.

An unanswered first-order question from the COVID-19 pandemic is this: Why was America’s pandemic doctrine in 2020 apparently so lacking after nearly forty years under Dr. Anthony Fauci’s leadership and after spending more than $60 billion preparing for the next inevitable outbreak? (Emphasis mine.)
Fauci And The Pandemic Playbook That Wasn’t – American Thinker
In May 2021, Janet Woodcock, the Acting Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), sent an email to Dr. Anthony Fauci, then director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and Dr. Francis Collins, then director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director, expressing concern about the large number of adverse events she was hearing about following COVID vaccinations. . .
Woodcock said she had personally received reports from people, including many healthcare professionals, experiencing hard to classify adverse events that were not being captured by existing surveillance systems like VAERS.
She said all three of the vaccines— Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson—were resulting in these injuries. (Emphasis mine.)
[David] Morens and his co-conspirators also used his Gmail account to share nonpublic information from the NIH about COVID-19 and “back-channel” information to an unidentified senior NIAID official, who appears to be Anthony Fauci, the institute’s former director, according to court filings.

“That’s the difference between governments and individuals. Governments don’t care, individuals do.”
-Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad“The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivalry of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in fine, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise.”
-Mark Twain, Official Physic
Day of Reckoning
We do not need more intellectual power; we need more moral power. We do not need more knowledge; we need more character. We do not need more government; we need more culture. We do not need more law; we need more religion. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen. . .. If the foundation be firm, the superstructure will stand.

One thing to note about this summer's surge of #COVID19:
COVID tends to surge most in one period where it surged least in the prior period. (This is because fewer people have a recent infection, which provides some immunity.)
This past winter, the South had a small surge and the West a minuscule surge compared to the Northeast and Midwest. So, now we're seeing the worst levels of COVID primarily in the South and West. 1/2

I am losing patience with people who overdo #COVID19 risks. One posted about 2 schools that closed this week due to COVID outbreaks and said this proved "Covid is bad right now."
One school with 126 students closed for a day in Baker, LA. Another with 130 kids was in Montgomery, AL.
Claiming COVID is bad nationwide based on two school closings is like saying it's storming nationwide because of flooding in Indiana. We have good wastewater data—we don't need to spread panic with bad posts!

I will add this, which is a guesstimate: Back in 2024, I thought people were being infected with #COVID19, on average, every 18 to 24 months. Given the reduction of COVID in US wastewater, that might now be once every eight years, which is comparable to the flu. Low vax rates threaten this, but it's still good news. And considering 97% of Americans are taking no care and 80% weren't vaccinated in the past year, it is pretty remarkable. I'm encouraged, but I'll be watching this winter closely!

The risk of being infected this past winter was almost half as much as the prior summer. It was less than half as much as from winter 2024/25; 75% lower than Summer 2024; and more than 80% lower than the riskiest period—winter 2024/25.
A #COVID19 reinfection can still leave you with chronic health issues. But if COVID infection risks are 50 to 80% lower than in the past, that is a significant reduction in those risks.
I still take care—but I take less care than when risks were much higher.

I conducted an “area under the curve” analysis, which is a way of understanding COVID risks throughout a period, not simply looking at peak levels.
I broke the year into two seasons: Winter (November to April) and Summer (May to October). This aligns to the way #COVID19 surges twice a year.
This summer isn't complete, but if we compare the risks of infection last winter, they were the lowest since summer 2021 (when almost everyone was recently vaccinated and many still took care.) 2/3

I often speak about how much both the surges and the lulls of #COVID19 have fallen. I remain concerned and cautious about infections given the science of COVID's potential chronic impact on health and wellbeing. But lower risks are worth celebrating, IMO.
I analyzed how much risks of infections have fallen. In full disclosure, different variants can cause different levels of shedding into wastewater, so this isn't 100% accurate, but it is mostly dependable.
