Stan, You can hold out hope for anything you want. however you must live with election results
SR, I'm the one suggesting you get medical advice from a doctor. If that is to woke for you, then you are walking talking proof that evolution is real.

Big Bob: So, if you wish to declare those that vote for corrupt idiots to be likewise inclined, I will not disabuse your of the right to do so here.

I, on the other hand, hold out hope for the electorate-at-large's transformation into a more thoughtful class of citizen.

Big Bob: I declared Biden and his henchmen corrupt idiots, and you express that the voters are responsible.

Well Big Bob, you are about half right on that. The other half are my people just like me, and I would wager that this half most like me - "MAGA Extremists all" - have grown a bit in number.

Ever the optimist I am in regarding my fellow folk for I have long know that through knowledge and time good people may transform into better citizens. This is the better side of me, and I hope to thank these good People, in advance, for the anticipated success the 2024 election for helping me reach my best self.

What really injected politics into Covid response was the change at the World Health Organization (WHO). The director of WHO during the Covid era was Tedros of Ethiopea, the first non-physician to head the WHO ever. Throughout its previous history, all directors had been physicians but Tedros was a politician and bureaucrat. He liked to call himself "Dr. Tedros" but that degree was an academic PhD (public administration or political science or the like) not a medical MD. Politicking by Communist China won the position for Tedros over a much better qualified British physician.

When it was led by professional medical people, WHO had devised a pandemic emergency plan that relied on herd immunity, but after Communist China adopted the lockdown strategy, their WHO apparatchik Tedros followed suit and junked the well prepared herd immunity strategy. That was all about politics, not about science or medicine. The few places that stuck to the original WHO plan of herd immunity, like Sweden, did much better on battling Covid than those who followed the new WHO Chinese lockdown plan.

The first western country to fall for the lockdown plan was the UK, and that was all politics, too. The best epidemiology and viroloty minds in the country from Oxford and Cambridge proposed a herd immunity plan and that is the way the government was headed until a lesser light from Imperial College London used a PR campaign with blatant scare tactics delivered through the media to stampede the government to move to a lockdown strategy instead.

Fauci just followed in their footsteps.

You mean the American people. Last time I checked, the American people vote in our elections. Never a good idea for a politician to call the voters dumb.

Fauci is the one who injected politics into medicine on Covid, and yes that was dangerous. Also, the China-controlled WHO. Sweden, which did not inject lockdown politics from China into its Covid response got the best results. I don't know about other big medical organizations, but Vidant doctors locally did not deviate from the party line. Other doctors, not connected with Vidant offered options Vidant doctors did not.

There are lots of research surveys coming out now that show that politically correct Covid care was NOT the best Covid care. The left wants to bury its head in the sand and call them "conspiracy theories".

Most of us want a doctor free to give us their own independent medical opinions, not one constrained by corporate policy of a big medical conglomerate. We saw too much of that in Covid.

Unfortunately, Bobbie, finding an independent doctor these days is difficult. Most independent medical practices were bought up by medical conglomerates after the advent of Obamacare, and policy on many medical issues, particularly around Covid, were set at the top, not by the frontline doctors. Too often, these are agenda driven. Even after all the studies showed masks were useless to stop Covid, for political reasons, these medical conglomerates still demanded them. Many individual doctors would privately admit the policy was stupid. One even told me that he had been to a medical conference and among that meeting of doctors no one wore a silly mask.

Medical research, like that from the French university cited, is more important than the agenda of medical conglomerate CEOs.

The largest circulation newspaper in the UK is a more trustworthy source than Hamas apologist far left internet troll Little Bobbie. "True" is Bobbie's jargon only means whether it conforms with the far left's narrative or not.

The mortality rate for the the covid, or any vaccine, is very low.

They died from the Covid VACCINE, not from Covid itself, and one fourth of Americans personally know someone who died from the VACCINE. That is what a poll by a liberal organization has found.

There were statistics released last year in Taiwan, which is strict about recording Covid deaths as only those FROM Covid rather than including those who died WITH Covid, that showed that they had had slightly more people die from the Covid vaccine than from Covid itself. I have not seen an update on that.
