Why don't politicians declare the pandemic over?

Some have declared it over.

However, the pandemic has given some politicians and petty bureaucrats an enormous amount of power and notoriety. Why the heck would they want it to be over?

I'm declaring it over.

But you are no polititian, leader or anything else.

Get back to your Marathon training Greg.

It will be good for you.

Only a complete imbecile for a politician would publicly declare it is over. Why?  Because it would immediately cause people to stop taking any precautions or solidify their unfounded beliefs that the vaccine is not for them.  Therefore putting them at greater risk.

So, if you hear any politician declare it is over, it is a crystal clear indicator that they are a fool.  This also applies to message board posters. 

A large number of politicians are lawyers. Why do people put so much trust in lawyers by electing them to public office?

Lawyers are trained and skilled BS purveyors.  Therefore they make good politicians. In real life, when someone is sincerely wrong, there is a moment that they stop, shut up and perhaps reassess their viewpoint.  A moment of humility.

Politicians are skilled at never admitting they are wrong. Instead they use obfuscation, distraction, diversion and BS to keep talking.  Watch cable news interviews of right and left. It is unbearable.

INCORRECT!

I’d be hard pressed to find anyone who is less affected by the pandemic than you. Most of us have to wear masks at work and in various social settings. Neither of these things apply to you. Yet you’re the one whining.

Thanks for pointing this out.

COVID, an infectious disease, is still the leading cause of death in America. However, cases have dropped dramatically and deaths will follow. It doesn't seem like further mutations are going to be as contagious or deadly, but time will tell.

I fully expected an annual COVID vaccine in the future just like the Flu.

This is what happens when your government treats a disease as an opportunity to flex it's power and authority(most of the the West) rather than to gain the trust and assent of the people IT SERVES (model: Japan, Parts of India, much of Africa, Sweden, Denmark). The disgusting globalist ideologues managing this overblown "crisis" have ruined the discourse, NOT the people who are just trying to get by day-to-day amidst the greatest media-government-corporate Psy-Op (trumping even the Iraq invasion lies) in history.

But will the Blue states be mandating that annual Covid vaccine? 🤔

Some people associate lawyers with higher status.

It's about the character of the individual, not their education.

Abe Lincoln ranks highly among American presidents, was a lawyer.

Great post, very informative.

You're right Greg. But why do some people automatically kneel down and revere others they don't know personally? Because they don't see themselves as a high value person,with whatever subjective criteria they've constructed. But yes, a job does not genuinely define one's true value but I can acknowledge some people with cognitive distortions would define one's value based on their job. But the people who do that are likely lacking character in some capacity, as many humans are. A human mind is like a computer program, it thinks based on the past experiences of the individual, which shape the core values. We are a product of our environment.

yeah, but he's been forced to not work from home!

Reported cases have declined from a daily total of 1 million to 200,000+, which in an earlier phase would be very high. But average deaths have been above 2500 a day for a month now, which is why we're already at 940,000 deaths due to COVID. And more bad news among scientific reports came out that heart problems are significantly worse for people who have gotten over COVID.

This was never about public health.

This is the Great Reset.

The Oligarchs are going for total and unfettered power over all the people on the planet.

A virus that looks much like a head cold in its symptoms is killing people and causing heart issues?

Apply some common sense when being fed the official narrative
