Most people probably think of epidemiologists as simply doctors who specialize in contagious illness, but that would be only part of the story. Indeed, rather than studying and finding cures for diseases, arguably the most important component of the field is increasingly being viewed as something else entirely - the molding of public behavior. This explains why so many who go into epidemiology hold undergraduate degrees in public health, which focuses on the social and behavioral sciences, instead of the more hard-core sciency stuff studied by their medical doctor peers, like biology or biochemistry.

People LOVE being controlled by the nanny state.

So is “recycling”. Sorting trash is counterproductive: it does more environmental harm than good. The point is to train people follow the dictates of environmentalists.

Mask wearing is a consequence. It they can get you to sort your trash, they can pretty much get you to do anything.

I hear people all the time say, hey the masks kept me from getting the flu or even a cold this year. Does seem to keep minor ailments away.

our overlords, led by epidemiologists like Dr. Anthony Fauci, have been deeply involved in behavioral ‘science’ for more than a year. Such an approach, however, cannot long coexist with our Constitution or any freedom-loving democracy.

Oh, no need to worry about that. They're well on their way to getting that pesky Constitution out of the way.

I think everyone should be forced to wear a condom just in case. I believe this so strong I’m wearing one now. Who knows what nasties could crawl in there.

It’s not the masks. It’s a well known phenomenon called Viral Intererence.

Viral interference is a state of temporary immunity, is a state whereby infection with a virus limits replication or production of a second infecting virus.

If the people can congregate in the square and taverns they will foment rebellion just as they did in the first revolution against the tyrants.

They must be separated, dehumanized and divided into manageable factions that cannot present an American rejection of their new masters.

I think one of the reasons people didn’t get as many colds and flus this year had less to do with the masks and much more to do with the kids being mostly remote in schools, the extra sanitizing, esp. in schools, and the fact that people stayed home or went out much less and really did try to stay away from folks.

Oh wow. That’s interesting. Nobody seems to be discussing that only saying masks are the reason. Perhaps you need to run for office. You explained it better then the bozos in office.

According to Obiden’s propaganda minister, Jen Psaki, the source of all of America’s tribulations arise from Covid, Climate, or Caucasians.

You hit that one on the head.

I’m impressed with Biden’s statement that “none of the Amendments are absolute puts slavery right back on the table”.
