A tangled web: 42% of Americans ignored COVID precautions or lied about taking them

Posted on 10/11/2022 3:33:26 PM PDT by BenLurkin

41.6% of respondents said they misrepresented or didn't following at least one public health measure, while 24.3% told someone they were with or about to be with that they were taking more COVID-19 precautions than they were, 22.5% broke quarantine rules, 21.5% avoided getting tested when they thought they might be infected, and 20.4% didn't disclose suspected or confirmed infection when entering a doctor's office.

Significantly higher odds of misrepresentation or nonadherence to at least one measure were seen in people younger than 60 years (eg, odds ratio [OR] for 18- to 29-year-olds, 4.87) and those with greater distrust of science (OR, 1.14).

Roughly 60% of participants reported seeking advice from a doctor on COVID-19 prevention or treatment. There was no link between COVID-19 untruthfulness and political beliefs or affiliation or religion.

Then there are those who did not take precautions but did not lie about it. And those who were breaking protocols but said they were not but we’re not actually deliberately lying. Adding it all together seems like 60percent were not taking this “seriously”

Count me in. I didn’t take any advice from the “experts” ignored mask requirements, didn’t “social distance” didn’t get vaccines, didn’t use hand sanitizer once, and did not light prayer candles for a Fauci shrine.

I pretty much ignored them all when I could get away with it.

Broke them all whenever and wherever possible.

Nonsense pandemic. Feb. 2020: Unless there are carts going up the road calling “Bring out your dead!”, it’s just bs.

Proud pureblood.

Iโ€™m the guy who went out of his way to break COVID precautions just to piss morons off. Beyond things like washing your hands none of the precautions really worked. Anyways, itโ€™s hard to take your quarterly shower without washing your hands.

I took your approach and ignored all the so called experts. I refused to take an unproven, so called vaccine, which at best was placebo gold for Pfizer, J&J, Moderna ......

Not too long ago I finally tested positive for Covid. It lasted 4 days. All in all it was not that bad. The worse part was a sore throat on day 2, which disappeared on day 3 and returned on day 4.

Post Covid no major side effects. I did have a lingering mild cough for a couple of weeks. No vaccine side effects, no DNA changes, none of the future worries of those who vaxed.

Hey, We The People also get to lie.

It isn’t just the government people that get to do that.
