PRESSTITUTES KEEP SELLING COVID FEAR

Before the coronavirus, the word “spread” usually referred to betting odds on sports events or food items applied to bread and crackers.  But now “spread” is the favorite word of government health care experts and mainstream media to keep citizens living in fear and extra-protective against COVID-19.
To show how manipulative the scare tactics are, in the 8 April New York Times article, “Highly Contagious Variant is Dominant in New Cases, Director of CDC Warns,” the following phrase doesn’t occur until paragraph five: “The number of deaths, however, continue to decline.”
Ahead of this most important fact are these anxiety-producing statements:
“A highly infectious variant of the coronavirus that was first identified in Britain has become the most common source of new infections in the United States, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday. The worrisome development comes as officials and scientists warn of a possible fourth surge of infections.
Federal health officials said in January that the B.1.1.7 variant, which began surging in Britain in December and has since slammed Europe, could become the dominant source of coronavirus infections in the United States, leading to a huge increase in cases and deaths.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the C.D.C. director, who warned last week that she felt a recurring sense of ‘impending doom,’ said on Wednesday that 52 of the agency’s 64 jurisdictions—which include states, some major cities and territories—are now reporting cases of these so-called ‘variants of concern,’ including B.1.1.7.”
When finally citing the solid data showing death rates and emergency hospital visits from COVID-19 have been declining for many months, The New York Times attributes the drop in deaths and hospitalizations to “potentially a sign that mass vaccinations are beginning to protect older Americans and other highly vulnerable populations.”
Yet, only some 18 percent of Americans had been fully vaccinated when The Times wrote the article, thus, the vaccine most likely played a negligible role in reducing the cases. 
And here’s what the NYT leaves out: the death rates were declining well before the appearance of vaccines. 
As noted in the 6 August Psychiatric Times,
“The mortality rate reported for COVID-19 has declined since the earliest days of the pandemic. This is partly due to better knowledge about the infection and better protocols that have been developed to treat the more serious forms of the illness.”
But The New York Times, along with most of the mainstream media, continue to attract more attention with scare tactics about the “spread” of variants, which have not proved to be as harmful as the original.
And, of course, according to the article, the only solution is to get the vaccine:
“At the same time, the United States is currently vaccinating an average of about three million people a day, and states have rushed to make all adults eligible. The C.D.C. reported on Wednesday that almost 110 million people had received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, including about 64.4 million people who have been fully vaccinated. New Mexico, South Dakota, Rhode Island, and Alaska are leading the states, with about 25 percent of their total populations fully vaccinated.”
TRENDPOST: Completing its ‘”beware the spread” article, The New York Times ends with a statement from the doctor of the National Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks after some team members tested positive: “This is a stark reminder of how quickly the virus can spread and its serious impact, even among healthy, young athletes.”
Yet, as they continually do, the mainstream media and their “health experts” (such as the hockey doc) fail to note that very few people under 50 years of age have died from the virus, and the recovery rate for those aged 1-20 years is 99.997 percent. And, in fact, the Hockey Doctor is incorrect. With a 99.997 recovery rate for people 1-20 years of age, the virus does not have a “serious impact” on “healthy, young athletes.”
