Flubros and Flubras! Day 71 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

Seems as though the media, and now the social media, will not tolerate Trump saying anything about CV. They criticize his wanting to end the lockdown and his promotion HCQ. I think media is entitled to be biased against conservatives and republicans. It is their constitutional right.

But I am confused about social media companies...apparently they have some sort of legal immunity against lawsuits that has been put into law. I really don’t understand this issue. Twitter puts disclaimers and fact checks on Trump tweets about CV. Does that mean that the immunity to lawsuits should go away?

-

I think the Democrat preferred model for handling CV is the oppressive heavy handed lockdown in China and the self imposed elimination of privacy used in South Korea to do contact tracing. Without herd immunity this type of lockdown and contact tracing will be used for years and not months. This is exactly the power that they want over people. Mandatory contact tracing and lockdowns are viewed most positively by the left because they are against the constitution and the founding of the nation. Anything against the constitution is viewed as good by Dems.

RE: Social Media companies, the issue is “platform vs. publisher”...Facebook & Twitter, etc. want to stay platforms (cannot be sued for slander, not ultimately responsible for content posted, etc. vs. being a publisher of content and responsible for it (liability).

Data shows virtually every state is inflating their numbers due to perverse incentives for Covid money, and you post this as Gospel truth? Wow...

FLASHBACK:

Obamacare: Say hello to government control
Oct 10th, 2013 3 min read
COMMENTARY BY Robert E. Moffit, Ph.D.

"Your personal freedom will be curtailed by those who claim to know what is best for you."

https://www.heritage.org/health-care-reform/commentary/obamacare-say-hello-government-control

'Quarantine' is when you restrict the movement of sick people.
'Tyranny' is when you restrict the movement of healthy people.

https://www.breitbart.com/health/2020/05/27/italy-96-of-coronavirus-fatalities-had-other-chronic-illnesses/

$$$ directs resources.  Who really profits?  It's about an election.

Just how far would $$$ go to win an election/control?

Trump is showing you what the Left is willing to do.

It's right in front of you.

Trump this morning retweeted Molly McCann’s piece in The Federalist about how masks are really about social control.

Tells me that once infection rates have dropped sufficiently Trump is going to step to the microphones and announce the end of mask culture.

THAT should set Kozak running for his Maalox this morning.
And perhaps someone should send the paramedics by to check on DannyTN.

The end to the mask culture couldn’t come soon enough!

I visited Florida the last few days, including going to both Daytona Beach and one of the beaches northeast of Jacksonville. In both cases, despite the large number of people, I could count the number of masks on one hand. People are tired of that mask nonsense.

Funny how the left wants to mask people’s faces, while unmasking their private communications.

I don't know where this 100 000 number being bandied about is coming from, but it's not the CDC.

On another note, CDC data indicate that the new death numbers peaked on about 16 Apr 20 (coincidentally or not) at the same time they changed the reporting criteria. Since then, the number of new deaths has been on a statistically significant (p < 0.0001) downward trend.

Cuomo also said stop picking on China cause the rona came from Europe.

Plus he genocides old people.

Don't be a Cuomo.

Molly McCann was actually a guest on a local talk show here in Pittsburgh yesterday. She lives in Virginia, where Governor Blackface has just ordered that ALL must wear masks if they leave the house.

He apparently did this AFTER the Memorial Day weekend to avoid angry blowback. But if it was for health reasons, wasn’t he exposing all of those folks to grave danger? Why wait until all curves are trending down to impose a mask order?

It has NOTHING to do with health was her point.
