Like I said, politicians have a tough choice: be reasonable and be accused of murder, be hysterical and be forgiven because they were just playing it safe. Journamalists have a similar tough choice: be reasonable and hence boring and lose their jobs because no viewers, or be hysterical and keep their jobs because hysteria is interesting and attracts viewers. I saw all this from from day one, which is why I don't waste time reading stupid articles like the one you want me to waste my valuable time on. The truth about covid is obvious (what I wrote previously) if you have common sense.
@Shemp
A shame you won't waste your "valuable time" reading the article. It's quite comprehensive in explaining the science (the biology) behind our immune response to different types of viruses, based on their ability to mutate. However lab-designed to be more lethal to humans, so with the ill-intent of being a bioweapon (then we could discuss how come it leaked, or "was" leaked), Covid-19 is still a flu virus and our body recognises it as such. It "knows" better than any politician or journalist or opportunistic scientist. The official survival rate for the general population (not elderly with prior conditions) is in the 99% anyway, so that should be telling of how much we are exaggerating, with the pandemic scare and all related containment measures.
By the way, I believe most journalists are not dumb people and know the truth when they see it. It's as you say: they are slaves of the system of propaganda, paid for by the usual conglomerates who largely also own Big Pharma, and they have to comply with the going narrative not to lose their job or, worse still in their profession, their reputation as "reliable" agents.

The real science of covid is the phenomenon of these periodic waves, such as is occurring in Romania now (and Ukraine where I just left). Why does covid come and go in multiple waves? Why not just one big wave? Probably within a single country or province or city or any division of society you want to make, humans tend to cluster. They mostly follow routines and see the same people over and over. So what happens is the virus spreads within clusters, then that cluster gets herd immunity and virus disappears. Later, it affects other clusters, and then those get herd immunity, and so on. I suspect some interesting science about clustering will come out of this, which will be useful in marketing and other areas of business and economics, in addition to epidemiology. Probably they will need to use tracking of human movements throughout the day (via smartphones) to fully understand this clustering and wave phenomenon. Of course, that will provoke a wave of hysteria about privacy issues. Hysteria and other mass mental illness also comes in waves until herd immunity is reached against the mental illness.
Herd immunity, together with the benign mutation of the virus in more and more aggressive and less lethal forms, is the science behind every single flu epidemic raging for a few weeks, maybe a few months, and then vanishing. The virus has simply, "painted itself flat" around the population, until a majority has developed sufficient "immunological memory" to recognise and attack any of the remaining future mutations.
I believe in science as much as you and I don't believe in hysteria. I also believe in respecting people's privacy. Tracking people's movements, or their vaccination status, is a massive breach of their privacy and one that doesn't change the nature of how collective immunity is reached, or the speed at which it is reached. That's why, knowing that these elites are far from stupid, I have to assume ill-intent: these policies are in not place for medical reasons. They are in place to mold entire societies into complying in more and more authoritative forms of big-tech-designed, government-administered control.
That, in itself, is a trillion time mor worrying than the spiky flu.

Meanwhile, you should be ashamed of encouraging hysteria and causing feeble-minded people like @rudder to quit their jobs and rush off to South America and make a mess of their lives. I am mentally strong enough to expose myself constantly to mental illness here at Happier Abroad, wackiest site on the internet, but others are weaker in the mind and easily infected with highly contagious hysteria, so you need to be considerate of such people.
I haven't been posting for a very long time and, as far as I remember, this is the first time I express my opinion about Covid-19 and what's been going on in the world. That article I posted, and which I invite anyone to read, is about anything but hysteria. It tells simple facts about our biology, our immune system, and how the virus could have been beaten long ago without masking up children, without destroying local economies, entire industries.
This is my opinion, too: if Covid-19 hasn't been beaten by now, like every single flu strain before, without spreading collective hysteria and without the freedom-killing mass vaccination, it means only one thing: TPTB want Covid-19, or at least a Covid scare, to be part of our lives for the foreseeable future. In fact, they are noticing that this particular manufactured crisis is the best yet to advance their agenda of total population control and, perhaps, digitally-controlled depopulation.
If you re-read my post, I didn't tell
@rudder to quit his job and rush back to the Philippines or Colombia. In fact his OP clearly states that he is already abroad, jobless and contemplating to be back to the US, mainly because there is no meaningful way to make money for him over there.
I just told him that, ironically, there are quite a few people who would be happy to leave the US and be where he is. I do embrace his frustration, though, as having an income in these countries is virtually tied with one's ability of selling their services or products online. That's why I suggested him to maybe look into developing skills that can be sold online, like copywriting, testing software or writing software.
