Why the COVID Deniers Won
The Atlantic ^ | 2/12/25 | David Frum

Posted on 02/22/2025 12:49:10 PM PST by DallasBiff

Five years ago, the coronavirus pandemic struck a bitterly divided society.

Americans first diverged over how dangerous the disease was: just a flu (as President Donald Trump repeatedly insisted) or something much deadlier.

Then they disputed public-health measures such as lockdowns and masking; a majority complied while a passionate minority fiercely resisted.

Wasn't David Frum the so called conservative who liked the crease in Obama's pants.

Anyway, he is trying to keep covid fear alive.

The answer to this question is easy. The deniers were correct and you were wrong.

Nothing that was recommended stopped the virus.

David Frum has been a frothing at the mouth liberal for at least 20 years.

Wonder how much government money has been flowing to him?

David Frum is in the same category of conservatives as Bill Kristol.

................
I firmly believe that DeSantis and perhaps Abbott saved us from forever masking and lockdowns. If those states had not bucked the masking etc we would have been screwed.

Hey DAve

Did my due diligence. Took a pass on the mRNS - too scifi.

Went with the J&J which was made with the conventional virus production methods - turns out that “vaccine” was **banned worldwide” about 4 months later. owing to the horrendous number of death due to blood clots.

I lived thru my pulmonary embolism, only needed 3 days in the ICU - and now must take a blood thinner for the rest of my days to stay alive.

GFY!

Why the COVID Deniers Won

Because the "experts" have admitted that COVID probably did originate from a Chinese lab, the masking and separation instructions have no proof of working, the vaccines do have serious side effects* and they require constant updates rather than being the two shot panacea that would keep you from being infected or spreading the infection. The ”science" we had to trust wán't created via hypoiand testing, but rather just pulled from their asses.

*As I understand it, the elimination of product liability for the vaccine makers required complete transparency on the risks and side effects. The makers have instead been nearly 100% opaque so should lose their legal shield (in my non-lawyer opinion).

I'd rather be a covid denier than a truth denier
