Looks like our local Lord, Aaron Stutz, the County’s Public Health
Officer, can’t take the time to read anything beyond CDC guidelines and
pronouncements, and therefore; is unaware of happenings in the broader
world. Just as an update for Lord Stutz and any other disciples of Dr.
Fauci and the media, the Omicron Variant is a very weak version of the
Corona virus. At last report only 1.7% of those who had received its
attention are candidates for hospitalization and very few deaths having
occurred. In fact the single death in Texas that may have been
associated with the Omicron Variant is not the likely cause of death
being reported in the media. While our governor is spouting off about
increasing virus counts, he is failing to mention that very few people
infected with the Omicron version are going to hospitals to be treated
as such.
Our local bag over his head, Lord Stutz, keeps bleating the same old
mantra since he was hired and doesn’t seem to get it. Masking,
vaccinations, boosters, and being tested at the drop of a hat, is not
changing the course of events. It has long been established, not that
you would know it from Lord Stutz’s inarticulate ramblings, that masks
do not work to stop the virus. Multiple studies have confirmed that
fact. Here in California, the most draconian of the Masked States,
there has been no evidence that masks work.
Vaccines have begun to resemble therapeutics rather than anything that
remotely resembles a preventative against Covid-19. Most of current
infections by the Omicron Variant of Covid-19 are vaccinated. In some
cases boosted as well. Granted the vaccine does represent a therapeutic
which has prevented many hospitalizations, but there is a growing number
of vaccinated cases, no longer being referred to as breakthrough, that
have resulted in death. Oregon has reported over 600 deaths of fully
vaccinated people. Being boosted beyond the first two jabs does not
appear to change the dynamic. It is important to note that being
vaccinated and becoming infected with an asymptomatic case of the
Omicron Variant has greatly enhanced the opportunity for others to
become infected.
Stutz also recommends being “tested” before attending family gatherings
and large group events. He recommends taking the antigen test, highly
unreliable, or the RT-PCR test, equally unreliable. Great advice.
Recently the often used PCR test was to be removed as a protocol for
determining Covid-19 positivity by December 31, 2021. Naturally this
announcement by the CDC received little notice by the media or medical
establishments. No reason was given beyond speculation which included
unacceptable levels of false positives or the protocol could not
distinguish the Covid virus from fifteen other viruses. All tested
positive using the PCR protocol.
Bottom line is that Lord Stulz’s pronouncements do not appear to have
much credibility in the real world. People are going to have to use
good judgement when confronting the virus as Stutz’s endless talking
points are getting a bit frayed around the edges. He merely has to say,
“same thing as last week” and be done with it. Only the fearful will
give him much attention. There are currently 46 “active cases” in the
County, what ever that means, with no hospitalizations.
