Trial balloons are up in full force. King Jay to start collecting the rakes in bunkers.
My first thought as well. It’s not going to happen if it’s a fucking cold again except for the masked people driving solo in their cars who are just clueless.
Based on the MS updates over the last 20 years, little chance this virus update is better for them than last time.
"Globally, there has been a steady increase in the proportion of EG.5 reported," the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a recent risk evaluation.
"While EG.5 has shown increased prevalence, growth advantage, and immune escape properties, there have been no reported changes in disease severity to date."
It's unclear what protection current vaccines offer against the new variant, said Iris Gorfinkel, a family doctor and vaccine researcher in Toronto.
But a recent review of 40 studies from the Journal of the American Medical Association found bivalent vaccines, whether by Pfizer or Moderna, were 40 per cent effective at preventing symptomatic Omicron, she said.
"The problem? It doesn't last. You turn the clock six months forward, it's only 13 per cent effective."
The bivalents are even better at preventing hospitalizations, at 62 per cent among those with a normal immune system, said Gorfinkel. Two months after getting the shot, however, the effectiveness drops to 50 per cent.
"That means 50 per cent of people could still become hospitalized even after having had the bivalent vaccine," she said, noting only one in four Canadians have had a bivalent. "And if somebody's immune-compromised, it's even less effective."
So people should not rely on vaccination or protection from a previous infection alone, said Gorfinkel. "Masking in health-care facilities, air filtration, hand washing, staying at home when sick — all of that remains critical in our armamentarium to prevent sicknesses, especially come the fall."

They went too heavy handed last time. They need to ease it in before they start putting people in camps
To many sheeple fell for the bs last tim and complied... that's why it will work again and "isolation" camps will probably become a reality this tim.
Covid was very popular and can cover up a lot of bad policies and results. Also could get the printers fired up.
They want to use lockdowns to screw with '24 election
You've got willing participants as governors in WI, PA and AZ. All freshly elected. Anything that happens will be done at the state level only this time. Anything the Feds do will be red meat for congress to dig into.
Lot of money to win Wimbledon. Well worth letting your hair grow out and put on a skirt if you were a male broke ass college tennis player. Like Martha's Vineyard, nice to pretend you are a sanctuary island until the riff raff show up. The howling by the women tennis players would be worth the price of admission.
