By Samuel Strait – Reporter at Large – April 9, 2022 From all the media hype and public official hysteria one has to think that a Covid infection would have visited each and everyone of us some time ago. Yet clearly it hasn't. High profile government officials who seem to bathe in the reflected glory of public attention have recently had the cruel twist of fate come visit in the form of the Corona virus. National news has revealed that more than one high ranking government official have had their first encounter with the dreaded virus a full two years after its introduction to this Country. How can that possibly be one might ask, particularly in light of recently revealed facts that masking does not work, certainly the "vaccines" provide no immunity, social distancing forget about it, and lockdowns, are you kidding me. So how is it that these pretentious federal officials are just now becoming infected? Could it possibly be that the transmissionability of the virus is not any where near what we have been told to expect? Is it possible we have been lied to about the infallibility of testing, the PCR test? What about death numbers from Covid, lied to as well? It has become almost common place to see those that lord over us with mandates and emergency decrees, to blithely ignore their own rules. Too often those who have elevated themselves into positions of sole dictator have been caught placing themselves above us all when it comes to following "Covid" rules, then seek to deflect any and all criticism. Do they know something that they haven't been fully honest with all of us "Walmart Shoppers"? It certainly looks to be the case. You do have to wonder if the Fauci's of the world will ever come clean and admit much of the Covid porn was a pointless exercise in futility. Please don't tell those that continue to wear face masks looking over the brim of their mask at the maskless faces of others with a hostility that borders on lunacy that their masks have been relegated to "fashion accessories". For there remain enough of them upon reconciling with that fact could become a danger to themselves and others. In the mean time they have become objects of disguised humor and in some cases the object of pity for the ignorant. Never fear, we have merely been experiencing the effect of mass induced psychosis inflicted on the entire world by those that are "supposed " to be looking after our "safety". Only time will tell whether the outrage reaches the level of insisting those that deceived us so will have to pay a price for their deception. In the meantime, as more and more of us shed the makebelieve measures that have not protected us from this virus, most of the United States has returned to a much more normal life style. While a seeming endless string of catastrophes for the most part originating out of "blue" states such as California and the Federal leadership in Washington, the irrational fear of Covid infection has begun to fade. Whether we will ever be able to believe in "science", the Media, the Medical Establishment, and our leadership in governments remains to be seen. The gap in trust has widened significantly over the past two years, and is unlikely to close as we continue to see the masked individuals littering the landscape. A reminder of past excesses in leadership not easily forgiven nor forgotten… In some respects this recent parody of the public health's concern over our well being has served to wake many in the public that have slipped into conformity, no matter what the cost to the country as a whole. This pandemic and the subsequent change in leadership at the federal level, has given rise to awareness that we have left the tracks of common sense. Dangerously ineffective leadership in California and with the Biden Administration in Washington continue to acerbate an already compromised standard of living in the United States not made whole even with the lifting of pointless Pandemic restrictions. Now is the time to be freed of all similar efforts of converting the lessons learned over the past couple of years into something that can be repeated. If we have learned anything about virus epidemics over the past two years, it is not to be stampeded into repeating this folly…
