By Samuel Strait – Reporter at Large – February 16, 2022 Most listeners probably don't remember the spring of 2020 when Paul Critz of local KFUG fame was peddling his propaganda about Covid-19 being the "end of the world" as we know it. Some of us just might survive the "Pandemic" if and only if we sucked up to the Media hysteria, Government Autocrats in the Democrat Party, and trusted the "experts" in the Medical Fraternity. Since then, over the past couple of years, we have learned virtually all of it was sheer and utter nonsense. There remain a few hold outs in various "Blue States" whose lust for political power has them clinging to the now largely debunked lies passed as "science" when all along it was more about political science. Critz and his radio station are no doubt one of the "clingers" that can't seem to have any reasonable explanations for why Covid-19 is destined to be "just another virus" penetrate his world view. The Corona virus panic has begun to dissipate as more information about its ability to harm people have equated it with Influenza and not the "scourge of the world." Resistance to pointless dictates by public health functionaries and organizations have begun to sweep the world and government edicts no longer hold the trust of a great many of the public. As states have relinquished their powers to affect people's lives, things have begun to return to normal for much of the United States. There continue to be "clingers" every where that likely will refuse to believe that masks did not protect them at all. Vaccines are now clearly viewed as a therapeutic and not a preventative. Social distancing was a myth, and only total isolation, if possible, was a sure solution. Children were perfectly safe going to school without masks or being vaccinated. Healthy adults were unlikely to succumb from infection from the virus, vaccinated or not. We have also learned that the Media is not to be trusted without a healthy dose of follow up investigation. The Medical Establishment has shown themselves to be equally untrustworthy when they reported the extent of the effect the virus had on the population with highly questionable case and hospitalization numbers. and cause of death. Both the Centers for Disease Control and the FDA have been complicit in deceit creating enormous harm to this Country. Many prestigious hospitals and University's have also contributed to the continued hysteria fostered over this virus. The Country will take an extended period of time to heal from this concerted effort to deceive the public. If clingers continue to behave in an unconscionable fashion the time will be extended and the damage to the Country will be more severe. If anything out there that should be made clear, is that those wielding the power to control the citizens of this Country do not follow their own measures. The experience from the actions of those that dictate and do not follow their own mandates was recently revealed at the Super Bowl in Los Angeles. This behavior should wake up those that refuse to believe that California has infringed on personal liberties for the last two years, and the leadership in the State does not apply those restrictions to themselves unless politics dictate it. Politics not science was the largest factor that went on over this virus hoax. Time to make those that spread the lies, and forced measures that were known to be ineffective on a fearful population, pay the price for their deceit.
