Covid mandates are surging again in blue states across America based on a “ mostly mild ” Omicron variant wave. New York City is even considering issuing a vaccine mandate for schoolchildren.
But New York State Acting Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett during a governor’s press conference on Wednesday openly admitted exaggerating the pandemic among children to motivate parents into “seeking the protection of vaccination.” “The numbers that we gave on pediatric admissions weren’t intended to make it seem children were having a – you know, having an epidemic of infection,” Dr. Bassett said. “These were small numbers that we reported in our health alert. That was based on 50 hospitalizations. And I’ve now given you some larger numbers, but they’re still small numbers .”
“It really is to motivate pediatricians and families to seek the protection of vaccination,” she admitted.
There you have it. Here is the acting public health commissioner admitting that one of the worst-managed states for Covid in the United States is intentionally misrepresenting the threat the virus poses to children in order to “motivate pediatricians and families” to get vaccinated.
On December 24, the New York State Department of Health issued an alarming health advisory to state residents.
“The New York State Department of Health today announced the issuance of a Health Advisory to healthcare providers warning of an upward trend in pediatric hospitalizations associated with COVID-19,” the alert said. “The recent increases are concentrated in New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area where the highly contagious Omicron variant was first detected in the state and is spreading rapidly.”
“The risks of COVID-19 for children are real,” said Acting State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett. “ We are alerting New Yorkers to this recent striking increase in pediatric COVID-19 admissions so that pediatricians, parents and guardians can take […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
