I’ve been thinking about the CDC’s relaxing of quarantine restrictions during record case reports and a substantial winter wave. Obviously it makes no sense from a science perspective. In fact, the CDC has already taken a lot of heat for the move, even from corporate media and its experts. But the wacky experts in Altanta are not backing down. Why not?
Over the weekend, I heard from one of my clients. He’d been laid off for being uninjected, but when the CMS Mandate was stayed, he got hired back as an independent contractor. Last week his boss offered him double pay if he’d take extra shifts. Why? Because his fully-injected co-workers are largely out sick.
So … it occurred to me that, since Omicron prefers the injected, had the CDC stuck with its original 14-day quarantine, employers who followed the guidance and enforced vaccine mandates could have most of their workforce out for up to 18 days (three weeks plus two weekend days on each side). That could put a lot of folks out of business, or in the uncomfortable position of — like my client’s employer — having to hire back their uninjected workers at huge premiums.
That wouldn’t be good for business.
So, it’s possible, even likely, that the CDC was NOT responding to the Delta Airlines letter or to the NFL, but instead was trying to avoid a wholesale, nationwide disaster where the CDC would ultimately be the one who got blamed. So they just changed the rules, again. It’s nice when you are completely unaccountable and can change the rules whenever you want. Nice and convenient.
This is really the only thing that makes sense. They don’t change the rules for our benefit, only their own, so why cut their best covid weapon down to one third strength? They’re now facing the prospect of too many covid cases because with the injection they’ve created a huge population of un-immunable people who will be getting covid and just about everything else all the time. Watch them say something like, “If you’re vaccinated, you only have to stay home if you’re symptomatic. ‘Vaccinated Covid’ is rarely transmissible when asymptomatic”.
When I was a kid, one of the ways we’d try to cheat each other when playing board games and card games was to make up exceptions to the rules (which had been lost) that sounded believable. You could say that everything I’ve learned about political corruption I learned from playing cards with my brothers as a child.
