Hotez: ‘We Should Anticipate Widespread Social Disruptions over the Next Few Weeks’

Pam Key 31 Dec 2021

Center for Vaccine Development director Dr. Peter Hotez said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that because the Omicron variant is so transmissible, “we should anticipate widespread social disruptions over the next few weeks.”

Hotez said, “This Omicron variant is so transmissible, it’s like nothing we’ve seen before among COVID variants. Almost as transmissible as measles which is probably the most common highly transmissible infectious agent that we know. So the message is if you don’t want to get COVID, keep your gatherings really small. Surround yourself with vaccinated people. This is not the year for big New Year’s parties. I know it’s disappointing, but that’s the reality. And the hope, as Dr. Fauci said, this won’t last too long. It’s a matter of keeping it all together for the next month.”

He added, “This is going to be a very tough time, a tough way to start the year because we should anticipate widespread social disruptions over the next few weeks. First of all, in the transportation hub we are already hearing about TSA workers being knocked out of the workforce. Not because they’re getting very sick, but they are at home sick with COVID. In addition, the air traffic controllers, the ground crew, it’s going to be tough to do air travel for the next few weeks. We should think about hospitals and number of hospital workers, health care providers, doctors’ offices. They’re going to be depleted. The service industry is going to be depleted. Our fire and rescue is going to have a really lot of problems fully staffing over the next few weeks. So the bottom line is to try to be patient. Try and not be too overambitious over the next few weeks. We will get through it, but it’s going to be tough sledding now for the next month or so.”

I believe nothing from anyone who believe or agrees with Dr. Evil.

Shutting down schools again?  In my county it is bad enough that they are 'implementing protocols for high community transmission'. I won't bother posting the ridiculous list, but even though face coverings are still optional because of DeSantis, as an example, they are "fogging" areas where a student has been that has tested positive and children cannot use lockers, and they will limit the use of classroom materials and disinfect after each use ....

If this doesn't make a child neurotic or put unnecessary stress and worry on them, I don't know what will.

If it was my child, I'd homeschool and never send them back to public schools.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
The disruptions will come. They are required.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
