I guess they don’t care about the NIH study that shows masks do nothing for Covid and actually can make things worse:

I’m sorry to hear about your sister. My sister died about a year ago after she was given Remdisivir. She had the classic side effects-—#1 being elevated liver enzymes. She never had that before....I believe they’re pushing masks and vaccines again because we’re not dying fast enough.

No the people pushing this don’t care about reality. They’re getting paid somehow to promote fear, injections and masks.

If the people don’t bite then what happens? Do they literally force you?

I just got back from vacation and picked up the virus en route. Feeling better now, but it’s really going around.

I would hope for mass resistance, but not too hopeful based on the masses who fell for it the first time.

Infectious Disase ping - New Covid-19 variants
The variants seem to be spreading, however the information about the lethality and rate of infection seem to be lacking

(From CBS News):" Health authorities say they're closely tracking the spread of three new COVID-19 variants now spreading around the country."

"Levels of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths for now remain far below previous peaks seen during past summer and winter waves of the virus,
but have been climbing steadily for several weeks."

"Public health officials have said that they're well-equipped for the latest seasonal uptick in the virus,
with COVID-19 tests and forthcoming vaccines expected to work for the variants on the rise around the country."

"But the appearance of a new "highly mutated" variant has raised questions among virus trackers about what the coming months could hold."

My Opinion): Just in time for the political election primaries
Coincidentally, the WHO, division of the United Nations, is prepared to usurp national sovereignty to control the seasonal international pandemic
There already is some limited movement to encourage, and perhaps later to enforce mandatory wearing of masks, despite their apparent ineffectiveness to prevent viral spread.

They say *highly mutated* as if that by default means *exceedingly dangerous*.

I suppose that would be the case if the reason the virus was highly mutated was because it was highly genetically manipulated.

Otherwise, just chalk it up to typical leftist fear mongering.

Covid levels have been climbing steadily for several weeks. How can that be possible in the summer, with all that good Vitamin D producing sunshine especially in the southern states? EASY ANSWER: It is really hot in southern states, especially this year. Everyone is staying inside in their air conditioned places. No outdoors time, no extra summer Vitamin D. Take Vitamin D3 supplements if you don’t get sunshine regularly.
