Are you ready for a return to medical dictatorship and social hysteria over covering your face? Well, your “betters” in state government and public health institutions are ready to start bossing you around again. Drunk with the unprecedented control they developed over Americans during the Covid years, public health mouthpieces and state politicians want to scare the bejesus out of you all over again.
This time they’re calling it a “Quad-Demic.” That’s the spiffy brand-name health wonks have given to a very ordinary thing that has happened all throughout human history: the presence of multiple diseases in the population at the same time. The “Quad-Demic” includes Covid, influenza, Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and Norovirus. The latter is one of the most common food-borne illnesses, sadly well-known to those who take cruises on ships.
Doctors seem to alarmed (and they’d like you to be alarmed) that cases of norovirus are “at their highest level for this time of year since 2012.” But. . .so what? News readers will see that exact phrase in almost all mainstream media coverage, but is it actually significant, or is it just phrased to sound dire? Disease incidence goes up and down all the time in the natural world. Just what, exactly, is noteworthy about the fact that the numbers in 2024 are as high as they were 12 years ago?
Some hospitals and states are putting their mask mandates back in place (many, such as those in Southern California, never ended them-who wants to give up that kind of power?). It almost feels pointless to ask why, but we must ask why. Despite the claims of everyone from Anthony Fauci to your local general practitioner, masks simply do not stop the spread of respiratory viruses. This isn’t an opinion, it’s not “in controversy.” Stating that masks stop disease spread is factually untrue. For goodness’ sake, the National Institutes of Health itself acknowledges this reality in published papers.
It should be clear to any intelligent adult by now that these bizarrely dire claims of disease and pandemic–we never acted this way in history before 2020–are simply a way for governments and dictatorial public health types to exercise power over citizens for “our own good.”
Prolific X commentator Benny Johnson found this map, which seems almost designed to put fear in the viewer with its blazing red “danger” coloring over states where people are getting colds, flu, and the same old respiratory ailments we’ve always had.
Let’s take the public’s temperature on that one:
