Dr. Peter McCullough, Chief Scientific Officer for The Wellness Company, is sounding the alarm on an election-year pandemic playbook: 

"A presidential election is looming and – surprise, surprise – COVID-19 is back in the news! 

"The Omicron variants, KP.3 and KP.3.1.1 (much more intimidating than FLiRT) are suddenly dominating the conversation, with the CDC warning of 'very high' COVID-19 levels in over 30 states. To paraphrase Yogi Berra, it feels like déjà vu all over again." 

The media is eating up the news that COVID rates are on the rise, once again happily playing the role of propagandists for the biopharmaceutical complex. According to a recent PBS report, 

As summer winds down, much of the U.S. is experiencing another COVID surge. It's the biggest wave we have seen in at least two years, and hundreds of people are still being killed every single week by this virus.

According to the CDC's analysis of hospitalizations, 25 states in the U.S. have or likely have rising numbers of COVID infections. And the spread is nationwide, in the West, the south, the Midwest, and the Northeast.
