Biden Now Says He’ll Allow Country to Get Back to Normal When 98% of US Is Vaccinated

(Christine Favocci, The Western Journal) President Joe Biden confirmed what many have feared as COVID-19 restrictions drag on: The people in power never, ever want this crisis to end.

As Biden was receiving his booster shot Monday on camera, the now-thrice-vaccinated president was asked about what it would take for the country to get back to “normal,” presumably meaning without masks and other onerous restrictions that have been a mainstay for the past 19 months.

“Look, I think we get the vast majority, like what’s going on in some of these industries and some schools, ticks up to 97, 98 percent. I think we’re getting awful close,” Biden claimed.

Last month, the administration hit its benchmark with 70 percent of adult Americans having received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to The Associated Press.

Some pointed out the absurdity of requiring mass vaccinations while ignoring natural immunity while others noted that the administration is letting illegal immigrants into the country with COVID-19 infections and without concern of their vaccination status.

While Americans dutifully hunkered down in their homes while their businesses withered and died out, thousands of protesters were permitted to march in the streets for “racial justice” — too bad for the school children who were forced to learn on Zoom and senior citizens who died alone.

Then the advent of safe, effective vaccines was supposed to be the saving grace, the linchpin necessary to bring America out of despair and back into normal life.

Now, as evidence mounts that the virus will be endemic like influenza and the common cold, the goalposts continue moving for when the government will allow Americans’ lives to return to “normal.”

Though likely an off-the-cuff remark with little thought behind it — a Biden trademark whenever he’s off-script — the president’s 98 percent vaccination rate threshold seems to prove how little any of this is rooted in science or reality.

After all, over 90 percent of the elderly populations who are most vulnerable to complications from the virus have had at least one dose of the vaccine by now, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The answer is that this is about power and control.

If the president and his ilk had it their way, America would still be completely locked down and masked up more than a year and a half into this — and those who are reluctant would be forced to get the shot anyway.

Instead, our federalist system has allowed freedom to reign in places like Florida and Texas where the virus exists as an afterthought except to the people most vulnerable, and leftists absolutely hate it.

If this were only about the virus, politicians by now would recognize that Americans can make decisions for themselves about their own health. The people who decided that COVID-19 was a serious threat to their lives — whether by need or creed — could go on with the masking, distancing and vaccinations while the rest of the country got back to “normal.”

But this isn’t about health or a virus or even a vaccine; this about controlling the population through fear while wielding that power whenever they feel it suits them.

It’s likely that Biden got elected by the half of the country still under the spell of that apocalyptic fear, and the president’s admission makes it clear that Democrats are not about to give any of that up.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
