Monday on FNC’s “The Story,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) questioned the efficacy of the measures instituted by government authorities done so in the name of COVID-19.
Paul, a physician and coronavirus survivor, told Fox News’ Marth MacCallum that there was no proof any of those measures were doing anything to contain the virus’ spread.

Rand Paul is a loose cannon. Never can be sure of his direction, but I will give him this. Rand Paul appears to be sincere, and stands his ground. That makes him better than 95% of Republicans.
I agree with his stand on lockdowns, and admire his fight.
These are Oregon total deat stats for past several years, ....tells the TRUTH...each State likely has similar stats...a “friend on MEWE posted this...
From the Oregon website, the number of total DEATHS since 2015. Here you go:

2016-35,799
2017- 36,640
2018- 36,191

And for this we are allowing a tyrannical Governor to destroy our state??? I for one, am not going to be quiet. You better research the “plan” and make some NOISE!!!

The goal of lock downs was never to “bend the curve”. It was all about breaking then will of the people so they can be more easily controlled.
Me too.
There are a few politicians that stand out and didn’t jump on this bandwagon of mass hysteria and political exploitation of the issue.
Almost everything done has been a complete waste of time.
Shy of a vaccine, all you will accomplish with lockdowns, masks, closing government, stores, schools, etc. is to “slow down the spread.” However, the inevitable outcome is that ~50% of the population needs to be exposed before this goes away, and it will NOT go away until then.
Even the vaccine works this way. It exposes people and helps create the “herd immunity” necessary to shut down the channels where it can be spread.
All these politicians that exploited this issue and were falling over each other, trying to outdo the guy next to them with an even more absurd idea as to a “solution,” were basically just fueling the mass hysteria, promoted actions that caused horrible economic consequences, in some cases took action that actually accomplished the opposite of their stated goal (example NY requiring old folk homes to take back positive cases), violated peoples civil rights (which doesn’t seem to matter anymore and not even the government agencies entrusted to uphold and protect those do anything), BUT ruthlessly self promoted and got their face on TV, their voice on the radio, and their name printed on paper somewhere.
This was a disgusting display of how politicians chase the ambulance.
Its a virus it spreads...lockdowns and masks only slow it down.
Have you noticed how so many states are claiming that hospitals are over capacity as the reason for the lookdowns?
Yet not one of them has requested federal military assistance to spin up capacity like Trump did last time. They didn't use any of it last time.
The only conclusion is that they really don't need it.
Where is the flu?
It is all chinese virus all the time.
Meanwhile the insiders are making billions in this plandemic while destroying the middle class.
