David Robertson and Peter Doshi discuss how we will know that the pandemic has ended.
Should we wait for the WHO to declare it gone?
Will it be once the Omega variant has been defeated?
Or will it eventually fade away unnoticed and unlamented (except perhaps by the vaccine manufacturers, should any survive the exposure of their lamentable business ethics)?
This is a vexing question, for which we may all postulate our own answers.
My own viewpoint is that is will disappear as soon as we stop testing the asymptomatic population for it. The WHO is on record as stating that the test without symptoms cannot be a basis to infer infection, but requires the opinion of a competent physician to evaluate the test in the context of the patient's overall health and vitality.
That point alone has been sufficient to undermine the pandemic narrative for 11 months already, for anybody who has been considering the pandemic from a purely medical perspective.
However, it is now almost Christmas and the authorities determinedly show no sign of logical thought, so it may be up to us to bring it down - perhaps when everyone gets well and truly fed up, stops wearing the badge of fear that adorns this article, and draws our authorities' attention to the damage that the inoculations are inflicting on a trusting population, then we will know that it's finally over.
