Low trust multicultural empires can't handle a pandemic. Russia has completely failed at stopping the virus and vaccinating people.

Has it, though?

New Cases Reported:

USA: 169,953

Russia: 19,630

Total Reported Cases Per 1M population:

USA: 118,061

Russia: 46,741

Sure, America is larger than Russia but nowhere near larger enough such that America could conceivably be said to be doing better than Russia per capita. I don't think there is any country that could seriously be said to be handling whatever this is very well, and the countries who look comparatively good in reports like China and Vietnam also happen to be the countries most likely to repress inconvenient information. This community wouldn't exist if we were Chinese nationalists talking about the CCP/Xi in the same way we talk about the Democrats, Biden-Kamala, J's, etc.

I'm skeptical the numbers are actually inflated, since high levels of Covid cases clearly negatively impact the popularity of whoever is in power. When Trump was in charge, sure, it made sense to inflate the numbers because they knew it would shift public attitudes in Biden's favour, and the establishment/media never for a moment let the global masses forget how much they hated this man. All these neocons and spooks like Comey and other establishment fogies flipped to the Democrats, whereas they were Republicans before Trump's ascension.

But now they're clearly negatively impacting Biden's popularity as well, with the number of cases and deaths hardly lesser than this time last year, despite this being before the Covax. They desperately needed Biden as a sort of compromise candidate to dupe enough people who would not vote for someone with a very 'Leftist' reputation like Kamala upfront into voting for the Democrats. It makes more sense to downplay the numbers now in order to protect their man Biden.

Countries reporting very low numbers are the ones I find suspicious. Vietnam can't even solve its decades-long HIV epidemic, mostly from intravenous drug usage which is also rife there.

Yeah some thought covid would go away once Biden won. It looks to be more insidious than just getting rid of trump, it's the new normal and used to control and weaken the proles. It makes Biden look bad but they'll probably be fine with sacrificing him. I think the elites like the dems and repubs to be about 50-50 in terms of their power so nothing gets done. So they'll probably let a repub win the presidency again next time. Might be trump or desantis. Then when they get in they will disappoint their voters by doing nothing, and a new Q theory will start that says we just have to wait.

If I were to speculate at this point on why the American case numbers might still be inflated—and this goes into ground that is too conspiratorial or speculative for me ordinarily—the first thing that comes to mind is that they want to transition power from Biden to Kamala. Biden was needed to get rid of Trump because Kamala is too 'radical' or 'Leftist' for many voters. Getting rid of Trump was needed to give the GOP establishment a chance to retake their party and restore elite control of both parties. But Kamala is who I think they really want, and Biden indeed needs to go now that he's outlived his usefulness.

That would also explain why CNN and perhaps some of the other big media has started turning against him on the Afghan thing as well. Normally the MSM has shielded the Democrats from criticism just as effectively as they subjected Trump to their own, i.e. few mentions of the border crisis, practically no mention of continued Antifa-BLM riots in Salem, etc. past the handover. They tried to paint a picture in which Trump was the source of instability and therefore that Biden's ascension meant a restoration of stability, something easily disproved by looking at websites like riotarchive.com.

See, for example, the latest videos posted there on August 23 in Portland. There's clearly still Antifa-BLM-Black Bloc types clashing with police. As an aside, careful with your volume if you click play on any of those.

kamala is too conservative which is why she wasn't very popular. her only accomplishment was putting black men in jail for weed. She's a conservadem, though biden is too of course. Those types can only win when they go up against someone like trump, dems vote against Trump not for the conservadem. This is why they had trump saying silly stuff on twitter while doing nothing. To get the dem base so riled up they'd vote for a conservadem which they did not do for Hillary.

The numbers are all fucked up. CDC report conflates actual unvaccinated people with people who have received the shot when sorting their data. It's inexcusable.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/pdfs/mm7034e5-H.pdf

Persons were considered fully vaccinated ≥14 days after receipt of the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines) or after 1 dose of the singledose Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine¶; partially vaccinated ≥14 days after receipt of the first dose and <14 days after the second dose in a 2-dose series; and unvaccinated <14 days after receipt of the first dose of a 2-dose series or 1 dose of the single-dose vaccine or if no CAIR2 vaccination data were available.

Glad for these Russians.

With the possibility of many of the covid "vaccines" being leaky, who knows if doing well today will mean doing well tomorrow. Best advice is to keep that out of your body and limit unnecessary contact.
