The disease was not a hoax. But the nearly world-wide response of going to masks and physical lockdown of virtually all commerce was a HUGE hoax, and unnecessary, in the 20—20 vision of hindsight.
Keeping people inside away from sunlight and open air was a virtually guaranteed way that the presence of the virus particles would be greatly concentrated, resulting in enough of a viral load to induce millions of additional victims to acquire active cases.
And the masks might be effective against dust particles of greater than a given size. Sad to say, but the virus particles are CONSIDERABLY smaller than even the finest weave of any face mask, anytime, ever, and not even a porous paper filter is particularly effective. To effectively filter out the virus particles, it would have to be so dense that simply drawing a breath would require considerable additional effort, way too much for a patient already with a compromised capability to breathe, like COPD or asthma.
The same PCR tests that the CDC is recalling because they’re useless.
I would call it more of a con job than a hoax.
A hoax sounds a little bit to much like a harmless practical joke? than a power grabbing,election stealing money making con job.
Let's not mention all the hand sanitizing that was going on. My understanding is that immune system is a bit like a muscle in that it needs to be exercised at some level through dealing with bacteria, viruses, etc.; in order to stay active and learn. Let not mention that physical activity, especially outside where vitamin D can be absorbed, helps it function as well.
Why is it that no one discusses the potential side effects of last year is that more people may have weakened immune systems from all of the hand-washing, sanitizing, and mask wearing?
