Earlier this month, the HHS sent the following Tweet:
There’s a lot to unpack there, and it reflects the consensus view of our current medical establishment, the leaders of the COVID amnesia project.
It’s true that streets were empty, schools were closed, and churches were locked in 2020, but there was an important reason why this was the case, which the HHS Tweet curiously omits. Although reality shouldn’t be up for debate, the question is what happened in 2020. Even though we all lived through it, our current medical establishment doesn’t want you to remember most of it.
They don’t want you to remember what they actually said in 2020, their farcical forecasts and pro-infection agenda. They don’t want you to remember they predicted COVID would kill 20,000 to 40,000 Americans, that it was less deadly than the flu. They don’t want you to remember that they were concerned about the economy in spring 2020. They don’t want you to remember they said that New York and Sweden had herd immunity in July 2020. They don’t want you to remember they claimed that immunity to COVID was durable, reinfections were rare, and herd immunity was inevitable. They don’t want you to remember the mere existence of their plan for herd immunity in 3-6 months via mass natural immunity. Even though this dominated the discourse in 2020, they’ll never mention it today.
Mostly, our current medical establishment, who never treated COVID patients themselves, doesn’t want you to remember the horrific scenes of mass death 6 years ago, the overflowing hospitals and morgues, the exhausted, overwhelmed medical personnel. They don’t want you to remember that COVID also killed and injured a lot of young people in 2020 and that this all would have been much worse had schools and churches been crowded, as they intended. Today, they won’t acknowledge recent headlines that COVID deaths may have been significantly undercounted in 2020. In fact, they never acknowledge COVID killed anyone at all. An honest remembrance of what the virus did when it was allowed to spread unchecked would ruin their revisionist narrative and is therefore strictly forbidden.
The scene behind my hospital in 2020
Though this revisionist history is both absurd and abhorrent, it is also revealing. While our medical establishment wants you to forget about the virus and its victims, they constantly seek to reinforce other memories of 2020. They are still trying to convince you the virus leaked from a lab, and they desperately want you to remember unpleasant mitigation measures. They want you to believe these measures were entirely optional, that the virus could have been ignored and its impact on churches and schools would have been negligible. As always, they blame the people whose job it was to control COVID in 2020 for the consequences of COVID. Although they can’t manage measles today, our current medical establishment wants you to believe that had they been in charge back then, we barely would have noticed the virus at all.
There’s a reason our medical establishment and their pathetic enablers don’t want anyone to forget 2020 altogether. They want to keep the rage alive. They recognize it was the key to their rise to power and that remains crucial to the continued cohesion of their movement. The MAHA coalition was built entirely on shared grievances regarding COVID, a sentiment powerful enough to unite otherwise disparate forces, professional anti-vaxxers and “pro-vaccine” EBM gurus from prestigious universities, to pick one example amongst many.
Keeping the MAHA coalition intact in 2026 requires that people still feel constant anger about 2020. But unfortunately for our medical establishment, only they still really care about lockdowns today. It just doesn’t have the same juice it did in 2020. Nearly everyone else moved on long ago and is currently focused on the ineptitude and maliciousness of MAHA (and MAGA).
No one can make the affirmative case that MAHA is succeeding and the movement itself is cracking apart, full of bitter infighting and high school drama. Doctors who rose to power fear-mongering about rare vaccine side effects, learned the hard way this wasn’t enough to maintain their power. The inherent instabilities of the MAHA coalition have been exposed, as has the incompetence of its leaders. Though they demanded that their predecessors magically wall off “vulnerable” people for months on end while COVID raged, when given a chance to prove their own competence, they can’t even fix shot-out windows at the CDC. The wheels are coming off, and trust is at an all-time low with them in charge.
And though our current medical establishment instructed everyone else to stop talking about COVID years ago, they’ll never stop talking about it themselves. They’ll be droning on about lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and masked toddlers for years to come. 2020 was the highlight of their lives. They were sought after podcast guests who earned great accolades doing nothing more than throwing stones from the comfort of their offices.
Today, recollections of 2020 serve as a safe space for our medical establishment, a comfortable fantasy where they were beloved supermen more powerful than COVID. It’s a lot easier for them to play make-believe about those imagined glory days than to defend their actual job performance today. It turns out, being the medical establishment is harder than Tweeting about the medical establishment.
Meanwhile, it’s up to those of us who experienced the pandemic in the real-world to make sure that what actually happened in 2020 isn’t deliberately erased by sheltered disinformation agents who experienced it entirely from their laptops.
