<p>I was preparing to do another one of my periodic Covid updates. ; That is no easy task since the entire issue seems to be subjected to massive confusion and questionable information.</p>



<p>After getting vaccinated, I announced that the Covid Pandemic was over for me. ; I did not have to social distance or wear a mask because the chance of my getting Covid was miniscule – and if I did, it would be a mild case. ; The chance of hospitalization was less than one percent – and the chance of death was statistically near zero. ; That was what I was told by Dr. Anthony Fauci and all those other media-doctors.</p>



<p>There was a general consensus among the scientists and the politicians, that the vaccine would be a game-changer. ; President Biden assured us that his policies would result in more than 70 percent of the people would be vaccinated by July of 2021 – that would be close to that thing called “herd immunity.” ; We would be past the Pandemic by the Fourth of July 2021, according to Biden.</p>



<p>It turns out that much of what I wrote in the past was wrong. ; And there is only one reason for that. ; I listened to the scientists. ; Yes, Dr. Fauci did a little flip-flopping on masks, but the main issue was that I was very unlikely to contract Covid no matter.</p>



<p>When the Omicron Variant showed up, we were told that it spreads faster, but is less serious – and posed no real threat to the vaccinated. ; In fact, Biden and the scientists referred to the spread as a “pandemic among the unvaccinated.” ; All those medical authorities were bragging how few of the vaccinated were getting Covid – and no one was dying from it, if vaccinated. ; No worry for me.</p>



<p>But then the breakthrough cases started to surge – partly due to the infection rate of Omicron and apparently the decline in the efficacy of the vaccinations. ; The first sign of a problem was when they started saying we all needed boosters. ; That would give us even more protection in case the initial two shots of Moderna (in my case) were wearing off. ; ;</p>



<p>In the background, they are now saying we may need a second booster – or even a shot every six months. ; They are pushing the old masking policy again – even over the questionable effectiveness of masks. ; Watch one newscast and they say that any mask is better than nothing – and doctors on a different channel say only N95 masks work. ; The others are worthless. ; ;</p>



<p>Biden is promising to send out millions of dollars worth of masks &#8211;several to every citizen – even though many will not use them as instructed – or not at all. (Personally, I am sticking to my no mask policy unless required – and fortunately that is very rare here in Florida.)</p>



<p>Same with test kits. ; Biden wants to spend more millions of taxpayer money to sent multiple test kits to every household – knowing that people will likely ignore testing more than they ignore masking. ; We were once assured that unless you have symptoms –or been in contact with an infected person &#8212; you have no need to mask or test. ; (I am sticking with that policy.)</p>



<p>The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has spread confusion by shortening the time a person needs to stay quarantined – and even said some who have no symptom, but test positive can go back to work.</p>



<p>We are now a year past the introduction of the vaccines. ; More than 65 percent of Americans are vaccinated – and millions more have natural immunity. ; The Omicron Variant is said to be much less dangerous, but doctors are proposing, and government is imposing more stringent restrictions than ever before. ; We are back to shutdowns. ; Biden wants mandatory masking and vaxxing. ; ; ;</p>



<p>None of it makes any sense anymore. ; How can we listen to the scientists when they are appearing on television giving conflicting information on a daily basis – and saying things that make no sense at all. ; It is impossible to tell the difference between good advice and fearmongering.</p>



<p>If all the advice they gave me in the past is now wrong, what confidence do I have that they know what they are talking about now. ; I will just have to go about my business as if the Covid is not an issue for me. ; The basics are still in place. ; As a vaccinated person, I am still unlikely to contract Covid. ; If I do, it will most likely be a mild case – no hospitalization, no Intensive care Unit and almost no chance of winding up dead. ; If I am wrong, at least I went out doing it my way (Thank you Frank Sinatra)</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Boy … was I wrong
