Last night in an interview on 60 minutes, President Biden declared that the pandemic is over;

“The pandemic is over,” the president told Scott Pelley as they talked last week at the Detroit Auto Show. “We still have a problem with Covid. We’re still doing a lot of work on it ... but the pandemic is over. if you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it’s changing.”

Biden on ‘60 Minutes’: ‘The pandemic is over’

This is one of the few things I can agree with President Biden on.

It's time to drop any remaining restrictions and mandates.

Wheel Of Fortune dropped all their COVID protocols for the new season. Pat stands right next to the contestants and shakes their hands like in days of old. I think that pretty definitively signals the end of the pandemic. ;)

Has anyone seen the Price Is Right? Are the ridiculous audience "desks" gone this season?

It never really started for me … I did polish the apple for the first couple months … but never took a bite. There were a few inconveniences I had to tolerate, but I did not alter my lifestyle or subject myself to mandates other than my daily self-imposed mandate which is to trust God and not succumb to the fear.
The thing that set me off from the beginning was Fauci’s lie about masks…after that the lies, deception, and control just kept piling up.

What I do find interesting is Bidens timing ….I am sure it has nothing to do with mid-terms.

Wait... are you suggesting that politicians have been using the pandemic for political gain? I've been told on this very forum that is unpossilble! It's driven by THE SCIECNE™, not politics!

And if you believe that, I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona I'll sell you, real cheap!

President Biden's comment about the pandemic over may have been off-the-cuff in his 60 Minutes interview, but today, the HHS Secretary affirmed his statement;

U.S. Health Sec. Xavier Becerra supported a surprise comment over the weekend from President Joe Biden, who declared the pandemic over.

"The president is correct," Becerra told Yahoo Finance Monday.

It's pretty much endemic now. I'll get my covid and flu shots together this fall.


Some say that it is fine to take the shots at the same time. Someone we now had a very bad reaction by doing so (nothing lasting, no big deal).

We decided to separate the shots by a couple of weeks. We took the flu shot last week, and will take the booster next week.

If Biden said it, it must be true.

You are spinning prudent public health measures as "succumbing to fear". Plus I am pretty sure you have no evidence that Fauci lied about masks. But we'll see.

I thought the pandemic was over a year ago. :(

I'm not sure you understand what the word "prudent" means.

We are just starting to realize the fallout from all of these "prudent" measures. The harms of these allegedly "prudent" measures is just starting to come into focus. The changing of jerseys has commenced. It's why the White House is trying to rewrite history by laughably claiming they weren't in favor school closures. But history shows the exact opposite is true.

What would have been prudent was following predetermined pandemic plans rather than chucking them all in the trash in favor of untested lockdowns and masking. Literally the whole world did succumb to fear and panic and shunned every "prudent" thing we knew to do in favor of crackpot theories that provided visual affirmation and virtue signaling, which many people preferred in favor of evidence-based measures that actually worked.

Regarding masks as effective NPI for respiratory diseases, the Cochrane review says this (emphasis added);

Medical or surgical masks
Seven studies took place in the community, and two studies in healthcare workers. Compared with wearing no mask, wearing a mask may make little to no difference in how many people caught a flu-like illness (9 studies; 3507 people); and probably makes no difference in how many people have flu confirmed by a laboratory test (6 studies; 3005 people). Unwanted effects were rarely reported, but included discomfort.

N95/P2 respirators
Four studies were in healthcare workers, and one small study was in the community. Compared with wearing medical or surgical masks, wearing N95/P2 respirators probably makes little to no difference in how many people have confirmed flu (5 studies; 8407 people); and may make little to no difference in how many people catch a flu-like illness (5 studies; 8407 people) or respiratory illness (3 studies; 7799 people). Unwanted effects were not well reported; discomfort was mentioned.

Do physical measures such as hand-washing or wearing masks stop or slow down the spread of respiratory viruses?

This was all known and knowable from the beginning. But panic and fear overtook any kind of "prudent" measures from day one.

Regarding Fauci's lies about masks;

The virus was real (and probably planned) …90% of the measures that were imposed (in the US) were control measures in effort to maintain control over the people. Some call it a test …I don’t know….

I have no proof of intentional elimination of people (which sounds crude) but the measures instituted… point in that very direction….or at the very least, they didn’t give a poo poo.

Worldwide 6.5 recorded deaths….. many preventable … and I don’t make that statement from a hindsight perspective

You can see post #15 speaks to the first intentional lie from Fauci … That tells me right there…. IF, IF, IF, masks were a necessary “legitimate” and preventive (as they told us for the years following) then for the 29 days that Fauci stated to the public that they were not necessary…. human lives were irrelevant ….the intention or purpose for the lie is a non-issue.

Hydroxychloroquine …was shut down…. and became taboo after Trump touted its effectiveness. All the US media carried the water on this lie … it was and is a lie…. Again, human lives were irrelevant. The shell company that was possibly set up by the Gov, or unnamed financial interests in Gilead (makers of Remdesivir) falsified studies against Hydroxychloroquine…. 5 months later the company completely disappeared.

The effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine taken with Zink was astounding....in comparison to Remdesivir

Food for thought – why were the sales of Hydroxychloroquine removed as an OTC med in European countries 2 months before the Covid outbreak after being available for over 30 years OTC.

Remdesivir became protocol …. the only method of clinical treatment along with ventilators in hospitals throughout the US …not by mistake because our wonderful Dr F was instrumental in this decree with financial ties also.



Monoclonal antibodies …Why were they withheld when proved effective

Natural antibodies… WHY were their no studies done on this…which is protocol in any other containment of virus with comparison to vaccines.

Mask ineffectiveness and respiratory issues with masks…

Where else do you want to go ..The elderly in LTC facilities? distancing? forced closure of small businesses with big box, weed dispensaries, and liquor stores allowed to stay open…..There are many places we could go with this discussion…. But it’s beating a dead cat (I like horses). The primary and always effective manner to deal with any crisis, emergency, or any situation…. is to ask God….and always refuse to be fear motivated….God motivates from love, and you will never be wrong with God. Your chances with fear motivation …are not good….One is action….. the other is reaction.

Biden's gotten himself into quite the predicament. By declaring that the pandemic is "over", it is going to become increasingly difficult to justify the never-ending "public health emergency" and the ridiculous amounts of money and power associated with it. So it would seem maybe the Biden administration is having second thoughts about Biden's statement that the pandemic is over;
