Former FDA Commissioner Admits 6 Foot Social Distancing Rule Was Completely MADE UP: ‘Nobody Knows Where It Came From’

Posted on 09/21/2021 5:44:37 AM PDT by A.M. Smith

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb testified that the six-foot social distance guideline was “arbitary in and of itself” and that “nobody in government knows where it came from.”

In other words, our so-called “experts” were well aware that the rules were a load of crap, but they imposed them on us nonetheless.

Gottlieb outlined the laws and hazards early in the epidemic in an interview with Face the Nation on Monday, adding that the Trump administration changed its focus to the devastating impact lockdowns and rules would have on the economy and children.

“My view is that they were sold on the idea that you weren’t going to be able to really affect the spread and that anything you did was just going to have so many repercussions in terms of impact on children who might not be in school. Impact on the economy, that the costs were worse than the disease,” he told host Margaret Brennan, explaining that schools were a “perfect example of the lack of effective policymaking.”

Like most of these guidelines, it was made up to convince the gullible they knew what they were doing.

Everyone should listen to Scott Gottlieb’s advice on Covid. He’s been the most right of any public figure, over and over again.

Fauci funded the research that developed the Fauci/China virus.

Why hasn’t he been arrested?

Fauci threw some bones on a pentagram and came up with the distance.

Not entirely ‘arbitrary’ - just practical.

One arms length (3 feet) or two (6 feet).

AKA 1 meter or 2 meters.

Mask mandates - a desperate means to appear to be taking productive action.

The first State to make it a FELONY for a Federal Employee to make Deliberate False Statements that cause Injury or Death to ANY Citizen, will stop the madness rather quickly.

Just get someone who is really limber to bend waaaay over — it came from there, that spot.

It is like CNN. Just say something, and idiots run with it. No need for any self-reflection: “Is this crappola?”. No. It is like teasing (No, it is not “playing”, you are a tease!) a cat with a laser.
This is the science of today’s society — just scream “BS” and the mob of idiots yell for more.
Watch the Emmys. Perfect case.

Will this get any traction?

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/coronavirus/law-professor-accuses-university-violating-federal-trade-commission

A business law professor who has been put on paid leave for refusing to wear a mask in class is defending his actions with an unexpected authority: the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

“[B]y requiring employees to wear a mask, you are promoting the idea that the mask can prevent or treat a disease, which is an illegal deceptive practice,” David Clements, who teaches consumer law at New Mexico State University (NMSU), told provost Carol Parker in a Sept. 13 letter.

Oh, they know where it came from but can’t admit that the Democrat handlers came up with it as part of their scheme to steal the 2020 Presidential election.

How about this, “I wouldn’t touch you with a six foot pole.”

Is 6 feet considered to be ‘spitin’ distance?
