How They’ll Sell Lockdown 2.0

National Public Radio was in a frenzy the other morning but it felt like the movie Groundhog Day: they were spreading tremendous alarm about the rise of Covid cases.

We have to stop the spread, the announcer said, and that’s why masks are coming back to classrooms. However, they added, relief is on the way in the form of a new vaccine.

Rinse, repeat — as the shampoo bottles say.

This line of thinking — stop the spread to reduce strain on hospitals, mask up, and so on — is being echoed by all major media organs. Leading the way is of course the New York Times.

I’m a bit superstitious about stories in the New York Times designed to drum up disease panic.

It was February 28, 2020, when this paper threw out one hundred years of editorial policy on infectious disease to counsel panic over calm, thus paving the way for what would come two weeks later: the astonishing wreckage of Covid lockdowns and everything that entailed.

There was a reason the Times was chosen to be the first media outlet to take this line on Covid. It would be exceedingly naive to think that this was driven by an independent editorial judgment. Someone likely put them up to it.

There is a 0% chance they'd get anything close to the degree of compliance they got the first time around.

JOHN STOSSEL: Personal Choice Beats Government Control Every Time
September 02, 2023 12:17 PM ET

COVID cases are up. Hospitalizations climbed 24% last week.

But the media make everything seem scarier than it is. The headline “Up 24%!” comes after dramatic lows. Hospitalizations are still less than half what they were when President Joe Biden said, “The pandemic is over.” 

Yet the shallow media keep pounding away: “It may be time to break out the masks” headlined CNN.  ...

Masks, lockdowns and closing schools won’t stop COVID. We have to live with it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 96.7% of us now have some immunity through vaccines or prior infection. That probably means future infections will be less severe.  ...

A very well composed and written article. Thank you @Bigun

Btw, Corporations are currently reducing the amount of PTO to 5 weeks...which means I'll be in a bit of trouble if they decide to enact mandatory vaxx's for gov't contractors.

Oh yeah, I will NOT comply, just like last time. And wifey has said "enough BS".

It's an old trick. When the numbers are unimpressive, like two cases this week after just one last week, you can always say "there is a 100% increase in cases" and still have a headline over a nothingburger.

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.

Democrat-Led City Advised to Wear Masks Labor Day Weekend

Danielle  |  Sep 2, 2023

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene advised New Yorkers to wear masks ahead of Labor Day weekend.

“Like all viruses, Covid-19 adapts, and we continue to adapt to keep New Yorkers safe too. One recent change to COVID-19 is the BA.2.86 variant, which has been seen in other parts of the U.S. and was recently detected in New York City’s sewage. While we have yet to find it in a specimen from a local resident, it is almost certainly circulating here,” NYC Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan said in a statement on the latest variant.

“Based on the degree of mutations – while vaccinated people continue to be protected against serious illness – this variant may be more likely to evade immunity that has developed from vaccination or prior infection than earlier variants.  .  .  .
