Is Covid-19 back for real this time? Is the “Eris” variant the real deal.
These kind of questions keep coming up again and again, and it’s all by design.
“The goal is an endless war, not a successful war” Wikileaks founder Julian Assange once said of the long Afghanistan war.
That comment perfectly captures the cycle of Covid hysteria, too
In order to answer this question, it’s important to reach an understandable framework for how we define Covid and reach a premise to build upon.
What is this thing we all call Covid or Covid-19?
First of all, it’s important to shake out the pseudoscientific blather built up in our minds that we’ve accumulated from cable news, Government Health bureaucrats, and the legacy media. All of these forces have been horrifically incompetent and negligent over the course of the corona hysteria years, routinely insisting that you inject yourself with poison and ruin your lives to combat “the virus.” These forces are much more dangerous to your health than a respiratory illness that they have so poorly defined. To understand what Covid truly is, we must first pledge to turn off the TV.
Here in reality, outside of the accepted ruling class framework, Covid is best understood as nothing more than a merger of what people commonly referred to prior to 2020 as the cold and flu.
These two closely related diagnoses were then rebranded into a scary sounding disease called Covid-19.
Nobody gets the cold anymore.
Nobody gets the flu anymore.
Sometimes, people now get RSV, but that’s because Pfizer has a new “vaccine” to sell for that!
Essentially, post-2019 anything resembling the sniffles is now Covid.
And now that we’ve turned off the TV and reset our minds, it’s time to briefly discuss the etymological roots of respiratory illness.
The name ‘cold’ dates back to the 16th century, and it was used due to the sniffles coming at a time when people were exposed to cold weather. Cold is a catch all diagnosis for mild respiratory symptoms.
The name ‘flu’ is short for the Italian word influenza, which comes from the medieval Latin influentia, which means ‘visitation’ or ‘influence’. Remember, prior to the Covid era, influenza was largely diagnosed by a spot diagnosis, and rarely a test for evidence of an influenza virus. A flu diagnosis is as simple as determining a respiratory illness that is worse than a cold.
Given the symptom portfolio in relation to the flu and the common cold, we’ve already established that there is nothing particularly novel about the disease we call Covid-19. The only distinguishing characteristic is built in the theory that the virus that supposedly causes it is a novel virus. Yet epidemiology and virology are “sciences” full of so much gobbledygook jargon, and there is still no real evidence that there was ever a novel virus spawned via a lab leak or natural spillover event in the first place.
And the aforementioned statement, regardless of if you agree or disagree, doesn’t really even matter anyway, because the disease is not at all threatening to our civilization, nor is there any working cure for the disease, nor is there any practical means to mitigate its spread. Sorry, Government Health and the TV lied to you. There are no magic cures for the sniffles.
Think of it this way:
Verizon, the popular telecommunications company, was a creation of the merger of two companies: Bell Atlantic Corp. and GTE Corp.
Bell Atlantic is the cold.
GTE Corp is the flu.
Verizon is Covid-19.
Today, there is only Verizon. Bell and GTE are relics of the past.
Verizon will remain with us until the company goes under or it merges and/or rebrands. The same goes for Covid-19.
The cold/flu merger and rebrand called Covid-19 will remain with us until the people in power decide to name it something else.
It is not a perfect analogy, but I hope that it paints an understandable visual.

A good quick summary.
We should stop arguing about covid and give a big push to arguing about fear porn and bullshit “prescriptions” like lockdowns, masks and social distancing. Because they are looking to do another round.
You sure about that?
How about this: Latin effluvium act of flowing out, from effluere, first used in 1651
Effluvium, according to Merriam-Webster:
The word was originally associated with black magic, as in “sorcerous effluvia.”
influenza (n.)
type of infectious disease, now claimed to be caused by a virus, usually occurring as an epidemic, with symptoms similar to a severe cold along with high fever and rapid prostration, 1743, borrowed (during an outbreak of the disease in Europe), from Italian influenza “influenza, epidemic,” originally “visitation, influence (of the stars),” from Medieval Latin influentia in the astrological sense (see influence).
AN Article from Rome informs us that a Sort of Plague has broke out there, which destroys Abundance of their People, and they call it the Influenza. [The Gentleman’s Magazine, April 1743]
Used in Italian for diseases at least since 1504 (as in influenza di febbre scarlattina “scarlet fever”) on notion of astral, occult, or atmospheric influence. The 1743 outbreak began in Italy. Often applied since mid-19c. to severe colds. For the sense development, compare Latin sideratio “blast, blight, palsy,” from siderari “to be planet-struck, afflicted as if by an evil star.”
also from 1743

Be loud, mock everything about the fake covid, mock anyone in a mask , people need to make it very clear this aggression will not stand , man.
The Cat In The Mask

I didn’t comply the first time. I’m certainly not going to this time. 64 years old. Unvaxxed. Drink like a fish. The last one out of the bars and restaurants. First one back in. I haven’t had so much as the sniffles. I did wear a mask to buy necessities. I did 3 long distance motorcycle trips during the asinine lockdowns. I travel smaller back roads on the bike. Once you got into “fly-over” space it didn’t exist. After 3 hours riding in pouring rain and crazy winds. I pulled into a Hampton Inn, stripped out the soaking wet riding gear. Mask in hand (not on my face) I walk into the lobby. (I needed the room, sue me) A lovely older lady (my age or younger, but that ain’t saying much) looked up from behind the desk and said. “Oh honey, we don’t do that here.” Meaning the mask. I love her to this day. After getting settled I walked to the steakhouse across the street. I walked in mask in hand. They were doing the distancing thing (every other table blocked off, and half the normal barstools. I asked to sit at the bar, they said yes. Never asked for a mask. Ate had some Woodford Reserve. All in all. A very pleasant experience in rural America. All 3 trips were like that for the most part.
You go JC! 😎
Thank you. Keeping the faith.
Well they tried monkey pox to scare people and that didn’t work, seem if you weren’t gay you had little chance of catching it. Maybe ebola next time?
Like –
Diarrhea
Bloating
Covid toes
Shortness of breath (only in a super, super rare occurrence, and not even hantavirus is that bad)
Motorcycle accidents
Gunshot wounds
An any others I might’ve missed that had nothing to do with ‘respiratory illnesses’ such as covid.
