Browbeaten virus pest Karl Lauterbach has declared the pandemic over, just before the last German virus ordinances are set to expire. That whole storm of lies, restrictions, exaggerations and panic, which descended upon us like a hurricane three years ago, has now been withdrawn, with vastly less fanfare.
It’s awkward; nobody wants to talk about it.
The German pandemic is not ending because the virus is suddenly safer or because the vaccines have saved us or because we finally masked our way into a world free of respiratory pathogens. No, it is ending according to a timeline established last autumn, which idiotically synced virus restrictions to winter tyre rules. In this way, our rulers finally abandoned all pretence that their measures were anything more than public health theatre, performed to soothe the feelings of terrified ageing urbanites. Even that schedule proved hard to maintain, and the most visible and obnoxious restrictions had to be withdrawn months ago, as all political energy finally drained from the farce. What remains are vestigial mask mandates for care homes and clinics. After tomorrow, these institutions will be permitted to set their own rules.
In a muted, retrospective attempt to declare victory, Bayerischer Rundfunk cannot refrain from the tiresome lectures which are the wont of publicly funded state media outlets everywhere:
Yes, Germany is saying goodbye to its last measures later than some other European countries. But all those who had speculated just a few months ago that politicians would never again allow ‘complete freedom’ in Germany, as it was known before Corona, have now learned better. Holy Saturday of 2023 will usher in a return to complete normality. “The massive encroachments on fundamental rights were the exception in the pandemic,” Federal Justice Minister Marco Buschmann (FDP) told the Welt am Sonntag: “Freedom is now the rule again.”
Buschmann (pictured), who bears direct responsibility for our absurdly extended pandemic regime, could not be more wrong. Freedom is not the rule again. The years since 2020 have proven that all it takes to confine the entire civilian population of a Western country to indefinite house arrest is a viral pathogen no worse than pandemic influenza. With the right media campaign, the state can close schools and most of the economy, force millions to accept dangerous and ineffective medications, all with the support of a substantial majority of the voting public. Constitutional protections, democratic freedoms, bills of rights – these don’t matter, they are worthless. All you need is a sufficiently ‘scary’ virus and they can be immediately set aside. That is not how freedom works. None of us will ever forget this.

“Covid Booster Mandates Were Completely Unnecessary”
Mandates are against medical ethics and simply evil.
There is no such thing as a “covid vaccine”, and therefore no such thing as a “booster”. I refer to this for further information:

“Vaccines” were not “necessary”.
Do the colleges have enough funds for the coming lawsuits?
Yes, think of that, if one family endures the death of a young student with a death certificate stating the death as vaccine related, the flood gates of legal action will burst open!
It will happen.
Yes, I think it will, and guess who is going to fund the compensation?
Albert Bourla? Hahahaha
Twenty, thirty, or more students should group together and crowdfund or whatever and pick on one college and go after the whole administration. Watch the poo hit the fan. It would blow the hole jab business wide open.
This also applies to airline pilots that have been increasingly succumbing to heart problems and all the hospital employees.
Absolutely.
Universities and colleges are in the vanguard of the assault on western civilization. It would be a great success if they were sued into collapse. An unlikely prospect, however, given the corrupt state of the legal system.
How many of these students have been harmed or will be suffering in the future? You’d think these universities wouldn’t have wanted to kill their future donor base. How many of the very well-connected students took a saline jab instead? Can anyone find the numbers of student withdrawals from one of these elite universities since 2021 to compare with previous years?
Obviously obscene and all the more so for the pointlessness of it. Although I get the impression that a lot of young people are scared of this disease even when, according to the official information there was very little chance that they would be harmed by it. And young people absorb much less mainstream news than older generations so it is interesting to contemplate this credulity and compliance. I wonder what the difference would be in uptake between those mandated to take it and those who opted to do so for people of university age.
Blame the students, they queue up for these jabs, they are responsible for their own actions. Boycott the colleges.
The sad fact is too many youngers are so dumb they believe in ‘Big State’ and want it to look after them.
I have no sympathy for those that willingly hold out their arm to be jabbed.
I have some sympathy for young people who were studying for careers which, they hoped, would secure their futures. If your ambition is to become a Doctor, Lawyer, Civil Engineer (or myriad other careers) it would be incredibly difficult to ditch your ambition over a refusal to have a jab you were assured was “safe and effective.”
The young people for whom I have no sympathy are those who accepted the coercion to participate in a mass medical experiment because they wanted to go abroad on holiday.
Looks like Don Lemon sticking it to Omid Scobie.
The total burial of medical protocol and ethics by Universities with Medical Schools is shocking. I know students that were threatened with being thrown off the course if they did not take the booster injections. There must be consequences for these greedy Big Pharma pimps hiding in their academic bubbles and pontificating lies and deceit.Why the hell did we have this scum in the SAGE advisory committee?
