It’s only for 2 weeks to flatten the curve.

It was. But it was what the people wanted. I was against it then and I am against it now. They should and they will keep it in effect until the Economy of the United States of America is totally and completely destroyed. They will also be starving. But they will be happy.

“If public policy can affect climate change, it can stamp out a virus.”

2 wrongs don’t make a right.

Continuing the lockdowns is a worse mistake.

The mistake was, and is, in allowing liberals to call the shots in America. Yes, the covid lockdown was, and is, a mistake. But so is everything else forced upon us by liberals.

And the libtards in Kongress, both the demonRATs and the Repugnants, are the worst.

I honestly think it’s because we are more of a nation of scaredy cats now. When a nation is not religious, and this life is all there is, well, “give me liberty, or give me death” falls on deaf ears.

The lockdowns were wildly successful. The democrats got to kill the economy and stop Trump’s rallies. Those were the only two objects and both were met.

As I’ve noted, the 1957-58 Asian flu killed between 70,000 and 116,000 Americans, between 0.04 percent and 0.07 percent of the nation’s population

And how many deaths would the Asian flu have tallied if they had counted deaths as they do now, including co-morbidities.

What the vast majority of people do not understand is that flu deaths have never been counted this way before.

If they had included co-morbidities back then you could probably add in at least a third more deaths to that tally.

The lockdowns were not a mistake and the New York Post is playing into the charade by calling them that. They are intentional seditious and hostile actions by failed Democrat states, aligned with their Communist Democrat global party members, in an attempt to force a bailout from productive states since the failed states haven't been part of the surging economy under President Trump since 2016 and they have no way of joining it either. Let THEM pay for THEIR financial mess.

Communist Democrats and their ABCCBSNBCNPR propaganda arm use the term "mistake" because no one is liable when it's a mistake but those who perpetrated this fraud need to be charged for EVERY death, injury, and bit of damage done.

Start with mass murderer Nursing Home Killer (NHK) New York Governor Andrew Cuomo who sent thousands to their death.

Which is when Mike Pence SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF THE FREAKING MESSSAGE. He did not. We suffered as a result. EPIC FAIL!

I agree. It was his duty to be the "bad guy" and rain on the billionaires' vaccine parade. Instead, he seemed to disappear into the wallpaper - in a very typical GOPe fashion.

I’m glad they’re covering this, or else a lot of liberals might not believe it.

"As we in the FR Flubro Community tried so urgently to point out to all yinz."

Most who did not participate in the FluBro treehouse rituals and wear the patch nevertheless saw it the same way. Are you guys even aware of that? That you are not an elite geniuses club - but are more characterized by believing that you are rather than being alone in seeing things for what they are?

For example, I drink milk, and yet I am not part of the Pansy Milk Drinkers of Free Republic.

In middle school, we had little groups like this with names.

Pence appeared to lose himself in the minutia of micromanaging PPE supply chains. Meanwhile Fauci and a hostile media were allowed to run wild with the fear porn.

It all merits Pence’s dismissal from the ticket IMO.

No. Probably because the same five or six idiots repeatedly crashed our discussions with their Mask Nazi propaganda.

Posted this on a similar thread yesterday:

As Sherlock Holmes so famously said, “How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”

The pandemic reaction kept law-abiding Americans locked down in fear, which allowed rioters — conveniently masked to hide their identities — free-reign on city streets, and in addition offered the obviously-impaired Joe Biden a ready excuse to stay in his basement rather than be out on the campaign trail.

Bonus! It tanked an incredibly robust economy heading into the Presidential election.

Just astonishingly convenient how all that worked out for the Democrats.

Holmes would simply be shaking his head at the gullibility of humanity.

But no worries.

No one in government will be held accountable, all their paychecks kept rolling in, and when it’s over they will pat themselves on the back and pretend that the sun came up the next day because they made it so.
