In a blink of a political eye, without a scintilla of scientific evidence, the same lack of evidence they used to start and fight the COVID War, Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician at the U.S. Capitol, announced that wearing masks would no longer be required inside the Capitol Building.
Republicans—many who resisted the mask mandates that carried fines—seized on Monahan’s remarks.
“On the Senate side of the building, half the senators haven’t been wearing a mask for months,” Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said, according to The New York Times. “And I’m glad to see the other side of the building catching up.”
While mask mandates were strictly imposed on citizens in many states throughout the nation, for children of all ages attending school, public transportation, eating in restaurants, flying on airplanes, for the political hierarchy they do as they please. Politico noted that unlike the colleagues in the House of Representatives, the Senate “lords” never fully adopted the mandate.
Get Vaxxed, Get COVID
Among the new cases at the Capitol in the past two weeks, 89 percent of infections occurred in fully vaccinated individuals, Politico reported, citing the Office of the Attending Physician. Of those, 63 percent of the cases were symptomatic. The U.S. has seen COVID-19 infections decrease over the last seven days—with an average of 51,743 new cases and 1,559 deaths per day. (To put the number in perspective, about 2,000 Americans die from heart disease each day in the U.S.)
The Trends Journal has reported on the number of so-called “breakthrough” infections among Americans who are fully vaccinated. (See: “‘BREAKTHROUGH’: NEW TERM FOR VACCINE FAILURE,” and “AMERICA’S #1 COVID JAB SALESMEN GET JABBED AND GETS THE VIRUS…LIKE OTHER BIG NAME JAB LOVERS.”)
Lloyd Austin, the fully vaccinated U.S. Defense Secretary who pushed for all troops to be vaccinated or resign, is one of the many who contracted the virus. (See “FULLY-VAXXED, FULL OF COVID, FULL OF CRAP,” “CELEBRITY SELLOUTS SELL COVID VAX” and “GET VAXXED, GET THE VIRUS, GET SICK.”)
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, has been one of the most outspoken members in Congress against the vaccines and recently told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that the government wants to sweep facts about the vaccine under the rug:
“The fact of the matter is, we’re looking at [Ukraine] and we’re talking about war crimes? I want to talk about the crimes against humanity that have been perpetrated by Anthony Fauci, CDC and the federal government against the American people. I want to talk about the dead Americans—people who had myocarditis, people who had a reaction to the vaccine.”
The Politico report said the mask requirement became something of a “political flashpoint,” pitting some Republicans against their Democrat colleagues. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., reportedly faced tens of thousands in fines for not wearing a mask for months.
TRENDPOST: As we have forecast over two months ago, the COVID War would end by late March, mid-April. And as illustrated in our February 2022 Trends Journal, the COVID War would bleed into the Ukraine War, and absent a universal peace movement, the Ukraine War will escalate into World War III.
