On the Five Year Anniversary of the COVID Circus, the Left Publishes a Book Admitting "Some COVID Mistakes Were Made"

Should we call this progress or kissing up to Jay Battacharya so NIH funding doesn't get cut off? In any case, yesterday's conspiracy theories are now mainstream news...5 years too late.

Five years ago today was March 11, 2020, the day the WHO issued its notorious pandemic declaration. Two days later, President Trump declared a state of domestic emergency. The COVID circus moved into town.

Little did we know what lay ahead: 15 days to flatten the curve, and people wearing bubble suits.

Few of us would have dreamed on this day five years ago that an experimental gene therapy loomed ominously ahead—one that many people would be threatened and bullied into taking. Few of us, in our darkest nightmares, dreamed that people would lose their jobs, companies would deny religious exemptions, and then a deluge of health problems would follow from the experimental jab unleashed on the population.

I never thought that I’d be documenting cases of spike protein lingering in the blood and causing health problems for years.

Few of us could have imagined that Yale would release a study led by a world-renowned immunology researcher Bornali Bhattacharjee from Yale University School of Medicine declaring that this experimental gene therapy is now causing AIDS-like immunodeficiency in the vaccinated. It’s all straight out of a bad sci-fi movie—yet it all happened.

And perhaps most surprisingly, who would have thought that the media would remain silent about the biggest story of the century?

The Dam Begins to Break?

However, five years later, there are some surprising cracks in the dam of facts that the mainstream media has been trying to hold back from the public.

A book was released today, on the five-year anniversary of the COVID circus, by two far-left Princeton University political scientists titled In Covid's Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us.

Even more surprising, the far-left Boston Globe ran a story yesterday titled, “The case against Anthony Fauci,” highlighting the book’s release.

Substack writer Jeff Childers said what we’re all thinking in this article in response to the Globe:

For a half-decade, we were mocked, gaslit, canceled, hounded, ostracized, and called every ridiculous name in the book by arrogant, birdbrained “science followers” who sneeringly ridiculed us for asking questions. Well, here we finally are. We were right. Conspiracy theory has gone mainstream.

But don’t hold your breath waiting for an apology.

Here is a summary of the book published today, In COVID’s Wake. The left is finally saying what some of us have been saying for five years. But it’s now okay to say it:

People like infectious disease chief Anthony Fauci were doing the best they could with the information they had. They were following the science. And we got to the other side in better shape than we might have.

But if there’s something comforting in this story — even a little triumphant — there’s just one problem: It’s almost completely wrong.

In the book’s telling, Fauci and his ilk didn’t follow the science, they betrayed it — pressing for lockdowns even though experts had warned for years that there was little evidence to support such a drastic intervention.

When they ran into dissent, they squelched it.

And the people who should have held them to account — the academics and journalists charged with speaking truth to power — too often fell down on the job.

The costs of the shutdowns were enormous: trillions of dollars in deficit spending to stave off economic ruin; massive learning loss, concentrated among the least advantaged children; the special pain of leaving loved ones to die alone in dreary nursing homes and emergency rooms; a further cleaving of our already divided society.

And despite all the sacrifice, the United States still had a much higher death rate than other wealthy nations.

At a critical moment, American science abandoned its most fundamental tenets. It forsook inquiry, it muzzled debate.

And American democracy did no better. Reasonable skepticism was cast as tinfoil-hat conspiracy mongering. Twitter and Facebook and YouTube were purged of heresy.

For authors Macedo and Lee, the story is clear: The pandemic was a monumental test of the American system — and the system failed.

Uh-hem, You Missed Something

Of course, I’m ready with a list of criticisms of the book already. So we’re just going to talk about economic consequences and educational setbacks and not people dying from myocarditis, deadly blood clots, and a rapid increase of stage 4 cancer diagnoses?

But we have to give the left credit—they are moving at the speed of molasses towards the truth. Good for them. I wasn’t sure if it would ever happen. Baby steps.

I’m trying very hard to be grateful that such admissions are coming at all, even if years too late.

But there’s one thing that bothers me quite a bit in articles such as the Globe’s: they all are lacking in a true admission of guilt.

My desire to see this does not come from a childish fetish of wanting to say, “I told you so.”

Instead, I want an admission of guilt on the part of all news sources such as the Globe because it would signal to me that they learned their lesson and will be less likely to make the same mistakes in the future.

I would like them to say something along the lines of:

As a news organization, we had the responsibility to publish all kinds of perspectives surrounding COVID, including the viewpoints of those who questioned the experimental gene therapy, wondered if masks really worked when Fauci himself had declared they didn’t a year before, and had arguments for why lockdowns might be unprofitable, etc.

But instead of presenting a myriad of perspectives, we ridiculed anyone who dared question the official COVID narrative. We participated in unprofessional name-calling, designating the opposition “science deniers.” We even went as far as ridiculing those who did their own research.

We were cowards who fell lockstep into saying what every other publication was saying. We recognize that your trust in us and all of mainstream media is at an all-time low. We understand that interest in Substack, X, and podcasts like Joe Rogan is soaring because we so pathetically failed the public.

However, we hope to repair that trust by making a point of publishing all different perspectives in the future. We promise to do better and never again dangerously favor one perspective while pigeon-holing all dissent as conspiracy theories.

In short, we promise to never again so spectacularly fail by acting like we are spineless snakes with no morals who bow down at the altar of public opinion, value hanging with the cool kids over the truth, and cower before our big pharma sponsors who wield us on strings like so many marionettes.

(Note: I hereby grant full permission to any news organization to reproduce the above statement in its entirety free of charge.)

But alas, the Globe article says no such thing. It hopes to gently shift the perspective and hope that we don’t remember that the whole mainstream media was complicit in the COVID circus.

But maybe they’re wise not to fake repentance. That whole stunt that Mark Zuckerberg pulled about pretending to be sorry for putting us all in Facebook jail for criticizing Big Brother, it moved me NOT AT ALL.

The COVID Circus: I mean, there were some good times

I have to say: if the COVID circus never comes back to town, there are some rides that I’m going to miss.

It’s one thing to read 1984 in high school. It’s another thing to have the privilege of LARPing (Live Action Role Play) it. We should be grateful for the fun we had.

Remember the dancing nurses? That was such a great circus act.

I hope if the COVID circus ever comes back, our town puts another 10-person limit on gatherings again because we had quite a fun time playing Corrie Ten Boom when we got a knock at the door. People would hide; it was just like WWII. Man—those were the days. I just love circuses. “Quick everyone, hide, the Nazi's are here.”

I hope we get another good laugh about the FDA rebranding the medicine that won the Nobel Prize for humans as a horse medicine. I mean, who thinks of these great jokes? Man, makes my sides hurt from laughing.

For the circus next time, I really want to wear a hazmat suit around and make others feel like they're just not doing enough. I can't wait for how virtuous that will make me feel. Yippeeeee.

I think we should bring back the "2 weeks to flatten the curve" joke. It was truly the joke that never got old. (Just the kids get old waiting for life to resume)

What entertaining times are you looking forward to next time? Are you hoping you get to play your musical instrument in a bubble if you missed that the first time?

Our town played a hilarious prank on all the kids by closing the outdoors. They put orange construction fencing around all the playgrounds so no kids could play on them. I never knew our local politicians were such pranksters. But I think they took the joke too far when they left it up for months. C’mon guys. It was funny for a few days.

My husband took this picture of the park across the street from our house. The city closed the outdoors.

I liked the COVID episode where our city officials violated the First Amendment right to assembly peacefully by arresting three citizens at a lockdown protest. Even though the city was surely joking, it ended up having to pay the citizens $300,000. I hope to get in on all that next time, ‘specially the settlement.

Another hilarious COVID episode was when two brothers from my town were arrested for putting stickers on some poles downtown. The city targeted them because the stickers criticized the city for its draconian lockdowns.

As the city wanted to stay in character and prove that the stickers were correct in accusing them of acting like dictators, they cuffed and interrogated the two brothers without giving either a Miranda warning. The minor was separated from his adult brother and interrogated—before and after he identified himself as a juvenile—without receiving a Miranda warning and without a lawyer or guardian present.

Although the poles were covered with other stickers, lost-dog posters, and babysitting offers, the city dug up an ancient ordinance never before enforced to prosecute the dangerous sticker-weilding youths. The city then went in the middle of the night and scrubbed all the other stickers and posters from the poles (thankfully there were photos from before).

Finally, the city attorney charged the two with 13 misdemeanors for putting stickers on poles.

I mean, I know we’re playing circus here and everything but I think that whole handcuffing the youths was taking the 1984 LARPing a bit too far. But maybe that’s just me.

I think it would be fun to attend a rock concert in a bubble. #goals

Another highlight of the circus was being asked to put a mask on between sips of water on the airplane. How did the clowns think of such hilarious antics? What's next, wearing a mask while swimming? This is entertainment at its finest!

I think it’d be really fun if they bring back the comedy skit where you have to wear a mask to walk five feet from the hostess station in a restaurant to your table where you can take your mask off.

We once were caught in that skit while being seated outside. Wow, was that funny.

My husband got to LARP an angry man who chews people out. Since he’s naturally mild-mannered, this was not something that he normally got to do—until COVID. Good times!

I think standing on dots was another high point of the circus. Sure hope they bring that back. I feel a lot more comfortable when someone tells me exactly where to stand, ya know? Also, the one way aisles in the grocery store—so comforting to know which direction to walk.

Let me know in the comments if you have any special times you’re looking forward to if the COVID circus returns.

I know the bird flu looked like a promising circus segue but the darn thing just isn’t contagious enough. Guess we’ll have to wait until the biolabs in Ukraine are done producing a new bioweapons before we can get our next round of entertainment.

In the meantime, you might want to stock up on Clorox wipes for your groceries. Next time, I’ll be sure to buy stock in toilet paper.
