Never Sleeps: Thanks to Our Returning Customers

WELCOME TO PANDEMIC; WOULD YOU LIKE FRIES WITH YOUR ORDER?

"Globally, as of 5:46pm CEST, 15 July 2022, there have been 557,917,904 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 6,358,899 deaths, reported to WHO. As of 12 July 2022, a total of 12,130,881,147 vaccine doses have been administered." This is the first thing that you read when you go to the official website of the WHO, the world public health agency that had declared the pandemic, and the public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), before that, and the agency that, just before the pandemic declaration, made a curious prediction that this would be the first pandemic ever controlled without pharmacological intervention. But, if 12,130,881,147 units of product have been distributed, as reflected on the business information dashboard, was the prediction wrong?

If you have gotten into the habit of going to the CDC COVID Data Tracker, note not COVID-19, the very first metric that you will spot is the 89,067,445 cases of COVID-19 infections for which the emergency use authorization declaration on March 27, 2020, had authorized for release a COVID-19 countermeasures, not vaccine, product, specifically to address what was described as "a significant threat to national security", a legal term of art that, in this instance, means uniformed members of the military serving on active duty, a population that is not even disaggregated from reservists and national guards for purposes of recording the only 95 fatalities, on the DOD COVID-19 Response page, on a page that features prominently at the top the success of vaccines distribution. Just as important as it might be for a proper risk assessment to identify active duty fatalities, reserve component fatalities and national guard fatalities, might a reasonable person wishing to manage a crisis in mitigation and prevention of disease spread want to identify those persons in a global pandemic who are returning customers, reinfected, rather than, like McDonalds, simply tracking the number of burgers served?

On the CDC website, there are figures for those who have received only one dose, those who are fully vaccinated and those who receive boosters, to provide management actionable business intelligence on what messaging should be developed to target customers for COVID-19 countermeasures, but when you look at the risk these countermeasures are supposed to be addressing there is only a global figure stating the total number of persons who have died, a major selling point for vaccines, as well as hospitalizations, the adverse outcomes the customers wish to avoid, but no information to assist the customer in making an informed decision about the risk that might motivate him or her to buy the product. Is an interrogator gonna tell you that your chances of actually dying on a water board are quite remote, or is he going to conceal that little bit of science on why this form of coercive interrogation is effective, leveraging your fear of death and the unknown. I believe Adam Schiff might describe it as an offer you can't refuse, a protection racket, or, daresay, extortion.

And, as of yesterday, in response to yet another stupid question FOIA from a not an option fringe independent, the CDC has informed us that they have no idea how many of the infections reflected on their business dashboard are reinfections from the chimeric coronavirus that, as of March 7, 2021, in the case brought on the shadow docket by a litigation hobbyist, and former biological warfare planner, the government can neither confirm nor deny that it owns this novel coronavirus that has claimed more lives than Hitler in the Holocaust.

And, human choices have not been your friend, according to Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
