Kit Knightly – Off-Guardian Jan 10, 2022
The past few days, even weeks, have seen a definite alteration in the media’s attitude to the Covid “pandemic”.
There have been numerous examples of what, if the media were not so tightly controlled, might be referred to as “dissent”. But, since the media is tightly controlled, we must call it an apparent change in the message.
Famously, Dr Steve James, a consultant anaesthetist, confronted UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid over the weakness of the science supporting vaccine mandates. Note this was actually aired on Sky News:
"The science isn't strong enough".

A few days ago Dr Rochelle Walensky, the director of the CDC, went on Good Morning America to discuss the “Omicron” wave, and ended up pointing out that most “omicron deaths” have multiple co-morbidities.
In another interview, with Fox News, Dr Walenksy said the CDC was going to publish data on how many people had died of Covid, and how many died with it.
This begs a series of important questions.
- Why is the director of the CDC (seemingly) engaging with these Covid skeptic arguments after two years of pretending they don’t exist?
- Why would Sky News air, and then tweet out, the video clip of a doctor challenging the health secretary?
- Why is the Guardian running headlines like “End mass jabs and live with Covid, says ex-head of vaccine taskforce” and quoting medical personnel who say we need to “treat Covid like the flu”?
- Why are new studies being promoted that claim T cells from ordinary colds can “protect you from Covid”?
There’s no denying the messaging, the deceleration of the narrative. There’s a new thread being woven into the story: “living with Covid”.
For over a month that has been a popular buzz phrase all over the Western press.
On December 1st, Forbes headlined:
Why Endemic Covid-19 Will Be Cause For Celebration
An article which argued, among other things, that “Endemic Covid-19 will be no worse than seasonal flu”. This sentiment has been repeated ad nauseum across multiple outlets.
We already mentioned the Guardian article from January 8th, there’s also an earlier one from Dec 5th titled “From pandemic to endemic: this is how we might get back to normal”.
CNBC ran three almost identical stories on this topic in the space of two weeks:
- “The Covid pandemic could end next year, experts say — here’s what that looks like, and how the U.S. could get there” – December 9th
- “The pandemic could end in 2022 — here’s what ‘normal’ life might look like soon, according to medical experts“ – December 15th
- “Omicron could burn through the U.S. — and potentially hasten the Covid pandemic’s end, says expert” – December 22nd
On New Year’s Day, Vox had a piece titled:
Despite omicron, Covid-19 will become endemic. Here’s how.
Bloomberg is reporting that Omicron signals the end “of the acute phase of the pandemic”.
Just yesterday the New York Post headlined: “COVID will become endemic by later this year, ex-Biden task-force head predicts”, and USA Today asked “The pandemic is changing. Will omicron bring a ‘new normal’ for COVID-19?“
And earlier today Channel 4 opined that “Covid in 2022” means “learning to live with the virus”.
The messaging isn’t just media-based, either. Reports are coming out that “living with Covid” is going to be the UK government’s strategy moving into 2022, with an official publication on this topic expected “within weeks”.
So, “living with the virus” is going to be added to the Covid phrasebook alongside “flatten the curve” and “the new normal”. But what does it actually entail?
When they say “living with Covid”, what do they really mean?
Well, firstly, let’s not make the mistake of trusting any government, media, or “expert”, just because they start telling 20% of the truth.
They are liars, they have an agenda, this is always true, you should always be aware of it, even when – or especially when – they are suddenly telling you what you want to hear.
They have not seen the light, they are not correcting their mistakes, they not finally seeing sense, and they are not switching sides.
There have been no Damascene conversions. There is no wave of guilty consciences sweeping through the elite.
They have an agenda. They always have an agenda.
You should also dispel all notions of “getting back to normal” from your mind. That isn’t happening.
How do we know? Because they said so.
Half the articles talking about “living with Covid” go into detail about how things won’t really change. Take this one, from the Guardian yesterday:
‘Living with Covid’ does not have to mean ditching all protective measures
It outlines that Covid could become endemic soon, that the mass testing of asymptomatic people may be counter-productive and possibly should stop, but it doesn’t reverse course on masks or vaccines and leaves the door wide open for a new “variant” to jump-start more lockdowns in the future:
“Living with Covid” does not have to mean reversing every protective measure. If better ventilation and face masks reduce the impact of winter respiratory illnesses, that is a positive, even if the NHS is no longer under imminent threat of being overwhelmed. We will also need to remain vigilant about the threat from new variants, which could still cause big setbacks. There is no guarantee that another variant, more infectious and more virulent than Omicron, could emerge in the future. Scientists say that supporting global vaccination efforts will be crucial to securing the path to normality.
Masks, working from home, and social distancing in crowded settings could all be “sticking around”, according to one of the above CNBC articles. And “Covid Boosters could become like annual flu shots”.
Meanwhile, “experts” are warning that even once Covid is endemic we should prepare for “surges” every three or four months.
It seems “living with the virus” means maintaining the status quo, loosening a few restrictions, but leaving the path clear for new waves of fear porn should the need arise.
But why? Why are they doing this now?
It could be that there are splits and factions, fractures along the floors of the corridors of power. Perhaps some members of the great big club want to halt the Pandemic where it is, afraid that any more progress along the “Great Reset” path may imperil their own position or their own wealth.
Maybe.
What I see as more likely is that they sense they have over-extended themselves already, and that stretching further could break their entire story to pieces.
To use an apt metaphor, imagine the “Great Reset” agenda as an invading army, marching through town after town, winning battle after battle and burning as they go.
There comes a point where you have to stop. Your supply lines are pulled taut, your men are tired and numbers dwindling, and the occupied citizens are putting up more and more resistance. Push on now, and your entire campaign could crumble.
What you do in that situation is withdraw to a defensible position and fortify it. You don’t give back the land you’ve taken, or not much of it at least, but you stop pushing forward.
The people whose land you have invaded will be so glad the war is over, so tired of fighting, they’ll be so relieved by the respite before realising how much of their land you’ve taken away. They may even say “let them keep it, as long as they stop attacking us”.
That’s how conquest works, from the days of ancient Rome and beyond. A cycle of aggression followed by fortification.
When we switch from “pandemic” to “endemic”, we won’t be getting our rights back, the vaccine passes and surveillance and the culture of paranoia and fear will remain, but people will be so relieved at the pause in the campaign of fear and propaganda they will stop resisting.
They won’t push back, and the “New Normal” will literally become just that, normal.
Hell, they’ll probably greenlight funding for anything Bill Gates wants to do make sure “Covid is the last pandemic”.
And then, one day when people are nice and docile again, a new variant will come back, or we’ll need a “climate lockdown”, and the push for control of every aspect of our lives will start up again in earnest.
The best thing we can do is not fall into the trap.
The press politicians and Big Pharma didn’t all just realise the truth, they’re just using some small parts of truth they’ve been ignoring for two years to fortify their position.
But that doesn’t make it a bad thing.
The very fact they feel the need to do so shows that the resistance is building, and that they’re are trying to lull us into relaxing.
Now would be the worst time to stop fighting.

Can you spare $1.00 a month to support independent media
Unlike the Guardian we are NOT funded by Bill & Melinda Gates, or any other NGO or government. So a few coins in our jar to help us keep going are always appreciated.
We are in that period, like after 9/11, when sheeple have time to reflect, & then conclude that not all is right with the narrative.
The evil deep state players are down playing Covid, because there is a growing undercurrent of dissent.
Like 9/11, it was followed by more terror attacks, & so Covid will be followed by deadlier varients or entirely new bioweapon.
When they deploy them is an open question. The UK regime is desperate to prevent UK sheeple from spending their money in Europe/EU, as part of the ongoing Brexit trade war.
Just because varients appear in Southern Africa, doesn’t mean that MI6 isn’t releasing them. The latest varient was proported to have been detected on Cyprus, the UK has a military base on Cyprus.
This virus/bioweapon thing is likely to run for 20yrs, and I expect some sort of international agreement/treaty on mandatory jabs. Canada has restrictions between states, and they are considering mandatory jabs.
If we go back to 2002/3 when we had the SARS bioweapon (SARS-Covid 2), there were two SARS breakouts outside Asia, Toronto, where 14/15 Asian health workers went down with SARS, they all survived. The other was in Sydney Australia, where two Chinese air hostesses went down with SARS. They both survived. Note, only Asians got SARS. Also, note the countries where these outbreaks took place. Both Canada and Australia have been at the forefront of Covid tyranny.
Great article, as usual, from a great journalist. This is just the evil doers taking their foot off of our throats ever so slightly, as they know they can’t push things any further just yet. But however you want to analyse it, we know their game and I for one won’t rest until these ‘people’ are either in jail for the rest of their lives, or hanging from the nearest lamppost.
“Covid Boosters could become like annual flu shots”
That was how it was originally marketed to the public, same trick again now.
A booster that wears off after 10 weeks or less will never be annual.
The PTB have been backed into a corner and the pushback with the mass protests must be playing a major role as anger intensifies in the streets. The elites may also be latching on to the fact that we are many and they are few and there will be no mercy once the dirt hits the fan! Also there are reports doing the rounds of military trials taking place behind the scenes of big names going down. Could this also be related?
The ‘pandemic’ was used to advance the Agenda. It was also a test run for the much bigger scam to follow. They now know exactly what to do and not to do, how stupid the public are and how far they can be pushed. They also know that the police can be relied upon. They also now know that the internet must be further curbed if they are to continue.
But there’s another game too.
They want rid of Johnson. They never wanted him in the first place as he is a loose cannon. So dialling back now reveals that Johnson and his clique (Javid, Gove, Patel), have used this to keep themselves in power. By now calling for an end to restrictions and exposing government lies, it shows this and makes it easier to get rid of him.
I get the feeling in the UK at least they are trying to step it back. It was always clear that a campaign built upon lies will very quickly be exposed as a fraud as new lies which must follow earlier lies contradict the whole narrative. Only if the truth is being told can the actions which follow make sense and fit the facts which preceded them. It doesn’t mean they’re giving up. They may just be regrouping, and hoping a lot of their earlier BS is forgotten because the media won’t remind us of it. But they’re clearly struggling.
It must be tempting for accomplished liars to think they can just lie their way out of it when their later lies expose their earlier lies, but if anything they can’t lie their way out of a problem only further into it.
Backing down? Are you insane?
They are mandating vaccines in Europe. There’s no backing down you daft cow. I think this article is trying to lull people into thinking that the Elites have “over extended” and are backing down. You’ve got to be joking
My thoughts exactly.
11 / 01 / 2022 Aces and deuces today, the OffGuardian — a cybersecurity team gone awry? — depicts (accurately) the latest wave of COVID propaganda, which does suggest twists & turns that could dislocate even a rockabilly’s back!
COVID messaging has indeed complexified, at a minimum giving HOPIUM to those who complied even while suffering insult and worse, the moronic variant possibly signaling an end to their worst immediate woes. Even so, the so-called “unvaccinated” head to “quarantine camps” in several (now failed) Western states — can’t call them CONcentration camps, now, can we? — while the “vaccinated” head to hospitals or morgues — or simply drop dead on the Playing Field of Life Itself.
Having become a fan of rococco in recent months (thanks to a perspicacious correspondent), I envision a thin, semi-transparent, silky fabric with multiple, colored patterns, in real time folded very slowly back on itself, the light behind projecting Moiré patterns, the eyes both reflecting and refracting, conducting coded illusions to the visual cortex, amusing, perplexing, confusing, a puzzle with an infinite number of pieces or, at least, seven billion or so and counting.
What do I think as a reasonably informed prognostigator|observer|pun-striken raconteur? The useful remnants of the Era of COVID will remain — facial diapers the simplest, most easily recognized — vaccine passports will play out to the Experimenters satisfaction as will “mandatory vaccinations”, all the while concealing major moves toward the next phase of the GREAT RESET, food shortages.
It’s one big, Pavlovian, I would say experiment but it isn’t, exercise in conditioning people to accept authority upon their lives. It’s about Big Brother state deciding WHAT you’ll do in your life, not you and how you will behave.
It’s utter totalitarianism. It’s neo feudalism being brough in through technocracy.
And people fail to see this because they’re more interested in being ‘entertained’ than actually stopping a certain group of people from taking everything.
George Bernard Shaw, author of Pygmalion and one of the founders of the Fabian Society, a vile, wretched individual wants the people of the future to
Justify Your Existence
And they’re already there folks.
They will not quit until we are dead. New CDC news is that they are planning to put a Public Health office in every town. We will surveilled as never before. They are moving to frequent testing- guess what- the tips of the swabs are contaminated and can be loaded for vaxx insertion thru the nose. Wake up!
They are the nihilistic physiologically-exhausted. They are the “People of the Lie”, the opposite of creative. They can only turn truth on its head. Theirs is the opposite of the Midas Touch. These bloodsucking cowardly creeping subterranean beasts of prey insert themselves into the Church, the education system, the media and the body politic by using equality to weaken, corrupt and undermine institutions in order to make them even more prone to accept the endless insanity that they bring upon us.
here is what the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote about this phenomenon in written in the 1880s in a book that came to be called “The Will to Power; An Attempt at the Revaluation of All Values.”
37 – Spring/fall 1887 – The Will to Power – Friedrich Nietzsche
The development of pessimism into nihilism. – Denaturalisation of values. Scholasticism of values. Detached and idealistic values, instead of dominating and guiding action, turn against action and condemn it.
Opposites replace natural degrees and ranks. Hatred against the order of rank. Opposites suit a plebeian age because easier to comprehend.
The repudiated world versus an artificially-built “true, valuable one”. – Finally: one discovers of what material one has built the “true world”: and now all one has left is the repudiated world, and one adds this supreme disappointment to the reasons why it deserves to be repudiated.
At this point, nihilism is reached: all that one has left are the values that pass judgement [in modern terms, political correctness, identity politics and wokeness] – nothing else.
Here the problem of strength and weakness originates:
1. The weak perish of it;
2. those who are stronger destroy what does not perish;
3. those who are strongest overcome the values that pass judgement.
In sum this constitutes the tragic age.
38 – Recently much mischief has been done with an accidental and in every unsuitable word: everywhere “pessimism” is discussed and the question is debated whether pessimism or optimism is right, as if there must be answers to that.
One fails to see , although it could hardly be more obvious, that pessimism is not a problem but a symptom, that the name should be replaced by “nihilism”, that the question whether not-to-be is better than to be is itself a disease, a sign of decline, an idiosyncrasy [woke].
The nihilistic movement is merely the expression of physiological decadence [physiological degeneration].
narrative is collapsing to many people now see the lie
to many know there is NO covid
its over, now start the trials
‘One day after appearing on Fox News Sunday, CDC director now says over 75% of covid deaths were people with “at least four comorbidities” and were “unwell to begin with”. The narrative is shifting fast!’
https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/one-day-after-appearing-on-fox-news-sunday-cdc-director-now-says-over-75-of-covid-deaths-were-people-with-at-least-four-comorbidities-and-were-unwell-to-begin-with/
Yes big questions here. The MSM is disgustingly ignorant. I notice a change too. Maybe because so many people are now injected, way above what they had hoped for. The narrative may be moving back to climate change
@ ROB + KIWI
NO COURTS ! as we dont are bloodspillers
enthusiasts like islamists simple 0.22 in the
neck effortless !
Narcisstic Amerikans havc a short attention span which means after 2 long years of Covid hysteria the fear is wearing thin and masks are coming off, plus even as dumb as they are, they are detecting that boy who cries wolf too much with this latest moronic and I Hate yUo (IHU) cooked up in Israel.
IHU = I Hate You = I (H=8=eight= pronounced ‘ate’) U = you
The current cultural batshit insanity is proof that the average person is dumber than dirt. Yes a handful of dirt is smarter than most people, who still wear masks for no reason. You are some neo-nazi or white supremacist if you don’t say the local protesters with big signs.
Yes Virginia you hate Jews and are an antisemite if you don’t love pedo Joe and his Hyena Ho and their covid jab death mandates. Only a Jew hater doesn’t get the ‘vaccine’ death jab. Only an aunty semenite haters doesn’t wear a mask say the protesters in my Jew infested town.
Widespread Libtard lunacy neatly dovetails into their limited awareness and endless pleasure seeking with food, new cars, online porn, ziocultic Israeli whoreship, voting every 4 years for the latest bought and paid for idiot politician. Wave the flag, go to war. Pay the tax, put your kid in a casket. Red white and blue cannons are aimed at you.
This incredible level of idiocy, from television propaganda and dumbing down in public schools, is proof that most people are batshit insane. In a local protest the Karens were screaming that anti-maskers were trying to kill others out of selfishness. And these Karens are the first in line to murder their own children with the death vaxx. Such love.
This mass stupidity of the Judeo directed culture is on display for all to see, and if you have the means you might want to leave the nation for greener pastures of third worlders who still have common sense.
The only real way to end this pandemic is to shut down the television broadcast and cut off Jewish mind control of the Goyim sheeples minds.
Dog & Pony Show for the benefit of the Goyim !?
@ SAM
THEY ARE ALREADY LOADED SINCE

They shoulda just stuck with gradualism/incrementalism. And Yukon Jack is right–shut off the dangnabbit TV! (Haven’t had TV in over 5 years)
Interesting article and a lot of brilliant commentary above by fellow truth-seekers.
The author stated, “When we switch from “pandemic” to “endemic”, we won’t be getting our rights back, the vaccine passes and surveillance and the culture of paranoia and fear will remain”. Which is most likely true as the satanic scum behind this massive war against humanity have invested far too much in their evil war; they have gone all-in on the obliteration of societal structures, genocide, criminally insane reprogramming of the human genomes of those who survive their toxic sludge injections, instituting crushing tyranny and totalitarianism, inducing mass psychoses and the destruction of the human psyche, and another massive robbery and transfer of wealth. Full spectrum dominance.
The only way out of this is going to be bloody. The only way out of this is to slaughter the repulsive demons in the ruling class, the vile traitors in the political class, the low-down lying scum in the corporate media, the willing accomplices in “public health”, the revolting pig-f*cker bureaucrats, and the “central bankers , of course. There is a war raging. They are actively and overtly working to destroy people who are just trying to live their lives and mind their own business. They are actively and overtly trying to crush the human spirit and obliterate everything that has been good and decent and moral and just. This is a battle to the death of evil versus, well, everything else. Whoever doesn’t clearly see this hasn’t been paying the least bit of attention or is stupid beyond hope.
