The COVID-19 cover-up

🙉 no deaths, 🙈 no deaths, 🙊 no deaths

As 3000+ Americans die every single day, the Biden administration is carrying out a campaign to cover up the pandemic and accustom the population to mass death in perpetuity.

Please share this 🧵 1/

Every day for the past week, an average of 2,700 Americans have lost their lives to COVID-19.

✈️It is as if seven Boeing 777 passenger aircraft crashed into the ocean each day, with everyone onboard dead

🚢 or two Titanics sank each day.

2/

Over 900,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 to date, according to official death reports, but in reality the figure has already passed 1 million, according to “excess death” statistics compiled by The Economist.

3/

But rather than doing anything to stop mass infection and mass death, the US government has used the emergence of the highly transmissible Omicron variant as a pretext to abandon all measures to stop the spread of COVID-19.

4/

It is allowing the entire American population to become infected and re-infected with COVID-19 indefinitely, meaning that hundreds of thousands of people could die every year from a preventable disease, and millions more will be permanently disabled by Long COVID.

5/

In order to force the policy of mass infection onto the public , the US government and media have launched a systematic effort to cover up the massive death toll through a media blackout and the manipulation of data.

The motto is: Hear no deaths, see no deaths, speak no deaths. But people keep on dying.

This policy is driven not by science, but by the social interests of America’s oligarchy. @DrTedros warned:
"We’re concerned that a narrative has taken hold... preventing transmission is no longer possible. Nothing could be further from the truth."

The strategy of the Biden administration was detailed in an article published by Politico yesterday, titled “So long, Omicron: White House eyes next phase of pandemic,” based on interviews with a “half-dozen administration officials.”

10/ @WHCOVIDResponse "is plotting a new phase of the pandemic” aimed at “conditioning Americans to live with” #COVID19, @politico reported. @POTUS is planning a “conscious messaging shift meant to get people comfortable with a scenario where the virus remains widespread.”

11/ In order to “condition” public sentiment and make the public “feel differently” about the pandemic, the Biden administration has determined that “the best political strategy is not to have it dominate the news every day,” Politico wrote.

There is no other country in the world where the media is as directly under government control as in the United States. In the month since Emanuel announced the “new normal,” reporting on COVID-19 fell exactly in inverse proportion to the death toll.

But the effort to “condition” public consciousness and make the public “feel differently” cannot be achieved by means of media manipulation alone. For this reason, there is a systematic campaign to end reporting of COVID-19 cases and deaths.

On Wednesday, the HHS officially ceased its program for hospitals to report the number of COVID-19 deaths, ending what a federal health whistleblower told the WSWS was “the only consistent, reliable and actionable dataset at the federal level.”

On Wednesday, the same day that HHS ended daily reporting of COVID-19 deaths in hospitals, the administration of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that it planned to end the daily reporting of COVID-19 cases by Easter, if not earlier.

On Thursday, the Canadian province of Saskatchewan announced that it will end “COVID-19 PCR testing for the general public, thereby stopping most efforts to trace the spread of the virus in the community,” wrote journalist Zak Vescera.

Saskatchewan is acting in accordance with the demand of @ZekeEmanuel , who called to end PCR testing in favor of rapid tests, which are not reported in daily case counts, meaning that COVID-19 cases not confirmed with PCR tests effectively disappear.

The American government, speaking in the interests of the financial oligarchy, has concluded that the death of hundreds of thousands of people, year after year, is acceptable.

What Charles Dickens’ Scrooge called “decrease[ing] the surplus population” is being accomplished by government policy, calculating that those who die will disproportionately be the elderly, the disabled and the poor.

The campaign to make COVID-19 perpetual is a declaration of war on the population, an absolutely criminal act of mass murder.

All over the world, the working class has begun to mobilize in opposition to the ruling class’s policy of mass death and demand the elimination and eradication of COVID-19.

The central political task is to arm this growing movement with a political leadership based on the perspective of international socialism, whose central aim will be to end the capitalist system--a system that profits from and feeds on human death and misery.
