Lockdowns and Masks

[sanforddawg11]

Fantastic op-ed for those that shoved lockdowns and mandates in Americans’ faces. And those that would do it again except MORE extreme.

“U.S. states with more-restrictive policies fared no better, on average, than states with less-restrictive policies. There’s still no convincing evidence that masks provided any significant benefits. When case rates throughout the pandemic are plotted on a graph, the trajectory in states with mask mandates is virtually identical to the trajectory in states without mandates. (The states without mandates actually had slightly fewer Covid deaths per capita.) International comparisons yield similar results. A Johns Hopkins University meta-analysis of studies around the world concluded that lockdown and mask restrictions have had “little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality.””

Science!

Lockdowns were oppressive and deadly. But U.S. and WHO officials plan worse for the next pandemic.

Virus gonna virus. It had no concern for masks or lockdowns. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would have known that. But Big Government loves to inflict its power on the people. And to many people are more than willing to let them.

And yet many fools still require the masks, including Cobb County Courts last I looked.

Question is, will people learn from this? Unfortunately, the reaction of some to the “Inflation Increase Act” tells us many are just happy as sheep being led to the slaughter

The op ed doesn't go far enough, because the WSJ is only a few degrees away from the TImes and Post. They all took money form the government to push the narrative.

The truth is the masks and lockdowns were done to control people and were never about health at all. Unless the sheep acknowledge this and push back, it will be the same plan, but much worse next time.

More dubious actions. And the people that let Randi Weingarten impart her damaging ideas on school kids should pay dearly. But they continue to give her a platform to affect your kids’ education.

“Politics drives many CDC decisions, including one last spring not to collect information on breakthrough Covid cases lest this show declining vaccine efficacy. Its school reopening guidance was written in part by American Federation of Teachers chief Randi Weingarten.”
