Nuances? Really? Freedom and liberty are nuances now. Get real.
The CV19 mitigation protocols (masks, occupancy limits, social distancing, etc.) were imposed to give the illusion that individuals had some element of control over the virus, they could do something. Similarly, these protocols ensured politicians could also give the illusion that they were doing something to stop the virus. And, these protocols were enacted to stem any panic until the vaccines became available.
Man, it’s almost like they wanted the lockdowns and fear and a crushed economy because it was an election year.. but that’s crazy, right?
I hope we learn from this. Just like I hope people who voted for BiteMe learn what happens when you vote for a big problem. And I hope we learn how to run a fair and honest election. Hope doesn’t mean it will happen, but if we all have a survival instinct, maybe. Anyway, I’ve been telling people a virus can get through a mask as easily as I can walk through an open doorway. So I got the shot.
Once again, LifeSite is twisting the data to feed a narrative.
Mandates for mask use do decrease transmission by about 1.8% (as another recent study showed), but the real factor is how many people are wearing masks properly and how many people observe the social distancing guidelines. All of these factors add up. The real determinant of the efficacy of control measures is individual behavior.
What this opinion piece and every other piece written to support an untrue narrative does NOT show is that infection control measures do not work. They clearly do. Without social distancing, masking, limiting people in normally crowded venues, etc., the entire population of the US would theoretically have been infected by June 2020, with over 4 million deaths. The fact that spread was slowed down so much demonstrates the efficacy of the control measures.
Let’s try to use some common sense. Covid-19 is spread through breathing infected air exhaled by a sick person. If you don’t do anything to stop people from breathing that infected air, do you really expect the disease to not spread?

The lockdowns WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO REDUCE INFECTIONS OR DEATHS, they were supposed to 'flatten the curve' so that hospitals wouldn't be overwhelmed with too many simultaneous cases. The point was to reduce the RATE of infections so that the cases were spread out over a longer period of time.
It turned into "you're killing grandma" only to use it against Trump.
Imho The Covid lockdown was to instill fear in order to validate and manipulate mail in ballots for the 2020 election. It was all about the big steal to get rid of President Trump and to give democrats and China total control of DC. They won. End of story.
Media is trying to get their credibility back. They are picking and choosing what they will affirm that pretty much everyone knows.
It’s not going to work.
It wasn’t about stopping CV-19 but getting mail-in voter fraud.
Facts and AP seldom mix oil and water
You know what the sick thing is? The .eft now admit they didn’t work, BUT,if a republican becomes president again, and another pandemic hits, the left will go right back to dema ding lockdowns UNTIL a lib is president again, and act like they never admitted that lockdowns were useless
Previously. The ,eft have absolutely no shame
Guessing AP in its entirety will now be blocked on Twitter, Facebook etc for spreading disinformation contrary to settled science for pushing these lies.
Right?
Right?
No?
