“Tool” is an excellent word to describe His Excellency – Gov. Chris Sununu – and his thoughts on the next installment of COVID political theater. “It’s still a little unknown what this new variant might mean, but we are going to have a lot more tools in the toolbox,” Sununu said.
More like “same old whore, new dress.”
In remarks reported by the Nashua Telegraph – a New Hampshire newspaper for those of you who may have never heard of it – he sounded very optimistic about how prepared we are. But to my ears, his remarks were cringeworthy. He is still pro-vaccine, PPE, and pro-Paxlovid, which he never names, but when he refers to “therapeutics,” he is not referring to Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine.
So, where to begin?
“We’re looking a lot in other parts of the country right now where you are seeing a surge of cases in the south as you typically do in the summer.”
There’s nothing typical about a spike in flu during the summer anywhere, especially in the South, but post-COVID-vaccines that is their new normal. In keeping with the approved narrative Governor Sununu has affirmed this aberration that just two years ago was unheard of, but neither he nor the reporter can be bothered to question. A crucial point of order when you consider this statement.
“As with every variant, you really don’t know the power of the vaccine versus the variant versus its potential connectivity and contagion ability across the environment of your population,” Sununu said.
The only “variant” we should be concerned about is the historical one where an experimental pharmaceutical product, with the help of media and government, mugged all of epidemiological history and made summer flu typical.
No one’s interested in that but promoting more of the jabs that made this possible (boosters!) is still a high priority.
Next?
“We will have more therapeutics available, we will have more test-to-treat opportunities in this state as well, so if you find out you have COVID, you can get a therapeutic to treat almost immediately,” Sununu said.
He’s referring to Paxlovid. The Feds gave Pfizer billions, so anyone who tested positive and wanted Paxlovid could get it for free. It is another emergency use authorization drug. This application is off-label. And as we’ve reported, Paxlovid isn’t therapeutic.

It doesn’t heal. It doesn’t treat. It may temporarily reduce symptoms but cannot clear the SARS CoV2 virus. And while you might recover despite it, there’s a good chance your COVID will come back worse and put you in the hospital, which is another point of order.
Asked how the state would now know it is having a surge since most people are testing for COVID-19 at home and not reporting to the state, Sununu said the state would rely more on information about hospitalizations as an indicator and the severity they are seeing in their wards.
People who home test positive regardless of symptoms may seek out the free (but useless) Paxlovid. If they have the virus, Paxlovid could cause it to come back stronger a week to ten days later, resulting in older and high-risk folks landing in a hospital. More hospitalizations will drive the political response, which – using history as our guide – will result in more reported “cases,” hospitalizations, and the authoritarian tick that follows.
I want to be wrong about this, but I do not believe that I am – our “plan” is to fail, and just like every other plan, people will probably die who didn’t need to, and whenever government fails, they need someone else to blame, and that will be the unvaccinated.
So, the next installment of COVID political theater looks like a repeat of the previous installment. A cascade of executive and administrative nonsense that ends with the abrogation of some of our natural rights.
Same tool, same toolbox.
So, what do we do? This is not an endorsement, but the math favors another two years of Gov Flununu. It just does. That means we need a Republican super majority legislature to override the vetoes of pro-liberty and individual health freedom bills he nixed in the last session.
It’s never a perfect solution, but looking forward, it’s the cure for what ails us, and I’m not just talking about COVID.
