This is very revealing. – Check out this little video clip from Chicago. Corrupt Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has just finished up holding her latest briefing, during which she and all of the reporters in the room dutifully wore their masks while they knew the TV cameras were rolling. As the presser ends, everyone immediately takes off their masks, as several reporters approach Lightfoot to ask a few more questions.
Jerry @Acadiansheperd As soon as the press briefing is over all the media and politicians takeoff their masks... What looks to be happening is they are only wearing masks for the television... 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Embedded video 11K 12:52 PM - May 12, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 7,130 people are talking about this VDO.AI They just didn’t know the camera was still running. Watch how closely they crowd around the Mayor with their masks off. Does that look like social distancing to you?
What does this tell you? It tells you that neither the mayor nor the reporters believe any of the ongoing fear porn they are all spreading to the public in unison.
You can be sure that exactly the same thing takes place in the White House press room as soon as the briefings are done. Early this week, Fox Reporter John Roberts was outed by Jonathan Karl of ABC, who circulated a photo on Twitter of Roberts seated at an outdoor assembly sans mask a few minutes before the briefing was to begin. Roberts put his mask on as soon as the briefing began, but why? What possible purpose did doing that serve? What possible purpose did Karl’s pedantic tweet serve, other than the spreading of a little more fear porn?
At a presidential briefing on Friday, Dr. Anthony Fauci showed up – despite his dramatic “self-quarantine” announcement early in the week – and stood behind the President the entire time wearing a mask that covered not just his face, but all the way down to the base of his neck. He looked like a member of the freaking James Gang.
Fauci had said he would still be coming into the White House when necessary, but why did he feel it was necessary to stand behind the President without saying a word for an hour at that presser? Was that really – as all the despot politicians like to say – “essential?” Or was it just so he could be there in every shot, subtly spreading his fear porn?
Because that’s all it is. Fauci himself has on numerous occasions advised the President and told the media that wearing these masks serves no functional purpose in terms of preventing the spread of the Wuhan Virus. So has Dr. Deborah Birx. Remember that? It was back in March, into early April.
But as he has done on so many things over the course of the past four months, Fauci suddenly switched course in April, as his fear-mongering efforts to keep extending our national economic shut-down stretched out from two weeks to six weeks to indefinite and now until there is a vaccine or a “cure,” either or both of which may never come. Around the first week of April, he and Birx suddenly began including the wearing of masks by anyone who goes out into public as one of the mitigations we need to all take as a condition of slowly reopening the economy.
Why? It’s obviously false advice and all the politicians everyone in the press corps parroting Fauci’s pronouncements knows it, which is why we saw that scene from Chicago yesterday. They all know it, and as soon as they think the cameras have stopped rolling – or, in Roberts’ case, before he thinks they’ve begun – presto! No more masks.
We’re all being lied to, folks. We’re being lied to over and over again about pretty much every aspect of this Chinese plague.
To its credit, the state health department of Colorado yesterday actually made an effort to begin correcting one of its great lies to the public, lowering its official COVID-related death count from 1150 to 878 as auditors identified 272 cases that were falsely reported.
That announcement ironically came just a few hours after the state’s Democrat Governor, Jared Polis, had somberly announced that the state had passed the milestone of 1,000 deaths. Guess he’ll have to do that announcement all over again in the weeks to come. Or maybe not, since the review of the death count by the state’s health board is ongoing.
This is just one more aspect of all of this that health officials, politicians and the corrupt news media are lying about, and everyone involved knows it. It was an act of compassion, but the decision by the federal government, working with the big insurance companies, to ensure that COVID-19 treatments are free of charge led to a frenzy by doctors and health officials all over the country to attribute almost any death by natural causes to the virus, even when patients had not been tested for it. That 25% reduction in Colorado is just the tip of a huge iceberg, and again, everyone involved knows it.
Yet the media and Democrat politicians continue to use that hyper-inflated death toll as fear porn to support their efforts to keep the economy shut down through election day. With the media, it’s not just what they do say on this subject, but what they don’t report about it.
If you do a Google search on that Colorado story, you won’t find reports on it from any of the major TV networks, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times or the Washington Post. But you will find a 3-week old story from the NY Times whose headline reads “U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll is Far Higher Than Reported.” I swear I do not make this stuff up.
We’re being lied to, folks, just as we have been lied to for four solid years about “Russia Collusion.” It’s all the Democrats and their corrupt media toadies know how to do anymore.
That is all.
I’m pretty done with this whole virus hoax. 14 day quarantine, then turns into 30, 45 days...then months and I’ve heard up to 5 years.
Nope...done!!
Sounds like the virus variant of weather reporting -- canoeing through apocalypse-flooded streets, then people walk by in the ankle-deep water.
Perfect analogy!
Someone should post that pic, but also photoshop masks on the reporter, HaHa
It should had ended after two weeks...with the new data coming in...
The CDC runs the country....
My favorite part of the latest press conference was when Dr. Fauci started scratching his face under the mask near the end.
And David’s right - he and Dr. Birx didn’t say a word, so their being on-camera wearing masks served no purpose.
There should be no bailout for the blue states that continue to go on creating their own problems. It’s a shame because there are so many in those states that are of a conservative nature & don’t go along with the liberals & they shouldn’t have to suffer with everyone else,but that’s how it is right now. If the liberals would succeed in ousting our president in favor of one of the Democrat candidates, then things can only get worse for everyone. As it stands now, it would seem that bailing out a blue state would be like effectively committing suicide.

Their being on camera wearing masks did serve a purpose that the media and the CDC and the democrat machine wants. They serve the purpose of continuing to put fear into the minds of the viewers. Fear has been the big mover in this pandemic. It doesn’t seem to matter what we little people think or do.
I have a sister who I’m starting to think I will never get to see in person or hug again. She hasn’t been out of her house but a time or two in all this craziness. She’s 67, and in moderate health, very slightly overweight but certainly not obese, and doesn’t have diabetes, kidney, heart, or lung problems. Her only medical issues as I see them are migraines, which run in our family. She is terrified that she will get CoVid and die from it. We used to go on vacations together. I don’t think that will ever happen again now. She believes all this BS, and I can’t seem to talk her out of it, like I usually can.
Tell you what, I’m tired of it. I was tired of it when the shutdowns first happened. I went along with it for 2 weeks, because I had no choice in the matter. I think it’s utter hogwash though. It is an overreaction caused by fear-mongering elitists that hate Donald Trump. I’m convinced that the only reason most of Europe shutdown was because they take their cues from the USA.
Where as I’m High risk. Typpe 3 Diabetic because of Gastropresis slow Digestion puts me on a NO fiber diet. Heart, Neuropathy, complete Degenerative back and 4 Autoimmune’s. I’ll be 72 in Aug. Get out only when necessary. Avoid doctors offices like the plague. Don’t go overboard, just avoid risky situations.
Did you catch 1 of the early ones, he wiped his drippy nose on his shirt cuff and just stood there, probably shook people hands with out washing his or changing shirts..
See, for someone who has health issues, I get it. For those of us who don’t, this is such overkill. The real rules are simple. Wash your hands frequently, try to cough or sneeze into your shoulder or upper arm. Use hand sanitizer if you can’t wash your hands. Try not to touch your face. It’s really that simple. Face masks are unnecessary. We will never get to herd immunity if we keep the social distancing and mask wearing, especially if we don’t have kids in school. This is basic microbiology.
All proof that he wasn’t particularly worried about having it or getting it.
Not here on the East Coast (I’m in PA). EVERYONE in the grocery store was wearing a mask (both customers and employees). They had ONE special line set up, snaking through the whole back of the store, where you were to stand six feet apart until one of the open cashiers flashed their lights and let you proceed, and THEY were set apart with a plexiglass shield.
I agree. The information just doesn’t add,up. How many people have heard we have to wear masks and heard another group say “Masks are essentially useless unless full face and clear plastic because the surface of our eyes makes a perfect place for the virus to reside. I thought it odd so much facial mask plastic was apparent and then I heard why.
I think it is disgraceful the age breakdown for susceptibility to being sick due to the Covid 19 virus is not generally known or that certain populations are very susceptible. If I was black I would really be miffed about this very important piece of information being withheld.
I think Trump ought to hire scientifically trained people to hold 100 people max attendance seminars to talk about the science of epidemics and the science of what is causing the epidemic. Get down and personal Hold no punches and do it all with sensitivity and politeness. yes, that is possible.
The longer people are ignorant the more apt they are to not disbelieve the fear mongers such as the media, Fauci and maybe even the companies making vaccines, etc. and their spielers of what the companies want to protect.
And I think we should go back to “normal” as we have fewer deaths with this virus than with flu. At least that how it looks from here...and kids don’t get this virus like they flu virus.
I remember the 1957-58 flu. I was a kid and no one could figure out what we had we could eat without cooking it. Of course we ended up cooking and being sick anyway.
I think if we are not careful about ending the perdition we have been sucked into in terms of house arrest, out of control cops in places, restaurant closures and non essential businesses being closed (how does the gov know what I consider essential?), etc. we will see another type of rebellion.
I am sick of being at home and I wish I had a kid or two to teach without losing my job. What a horror that must be for millions of families AND that is another issue not discussed at. Sheeesh!
