Let’s shed the masks and mandates — Omicron stats show we can stop living in fear
New York Post ^ | January 9, 2022 | Jeffrey H. Anderson

Eventually, Omicron will move more to rural areas, at which point the left will doubtless claim it is spreading there because people aren’t sufficiently masked or vaccinated.

If the figures showed the opposite — if the states with the most per-capita COVID cases had no mask mandates — you can bet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other mask advocates would tout this as “proof” of masks’ efficacy. That’s the sort of unreliable observational data that the CDC has embraced while largely ignoring the gold standard of randomized controlled trials.

In fact, the best available evidence, provided by RCTs, suggests that surgical and cloth masks do little to nothing to stop the transmission of viruses and might even be counterproductive.

It’s clear Biden’s and governors’ kingly vaccine and mask mandates — which have inappropriately bypassed our representative legislatures that should be enacting law — make even less sense than they did before the Omicron stats started coming in. And Biden’s efforts to pin the pandemic on the unvaccinated — he said in September, “For [those] who have gotten vaccinated, I understand your anger at those who haven’t gotten vaccinated” — now appear as unscientific as they do uncharitable.

Why, otherwise, are we mandating vaccines? More important, why are we masking ourselves and — worse — our children; hiding our faces and smiles from one another; undermining human social interaction, communication and understanding; departing from longstanding Western norms; and requiring ostensibly free citizens to wear unsanitary, uncomfortable foreign objects on their faces?

I never had any fear. I’m tired of women and beta cuck males having a say in life.

It’s truly shocking how many folks STILL wear masks, even while driving alone, and walking alone outdoors.

Children Of The Corn.

“Why, otherwise, are we mandating vaccines?”

The VERY 1st mistake was referring to these experimental treatments as vaccines. As I understand it technically they are no such thing.

I’ve contended from way back that a certain percentage of those people are more than happy to keep their identities concealed for various reasons.

Just because the vaccine does not work is not a reason to stop using it.

Omicron Makes Biden’s Vaccine Mandates Obsolete
by: Luc Montagnier and Jed Rubenfeld 2022-01-09 Source: Dr. Kelli Ward

Federal courts considering the Biden administration’s vaccination mandates—including the Supreme Court at Friday’s oral argument—have focused on administrative-law issues. The decrees raise constitutional issues as well. But there’s a simpler reason the justices should stay these mandates: the rise of the Omicron variant.

It would be irrational, legally indefensible and contrary to the public interest for government to mandate vaccines absent any evidence that the vaccines are effective in stopping the spread of the pathogen they target. Yet that’s exactly what’s happening here.

Both mandates—from the Health and Human Services Department for healthcare workers and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for large employers in many other industries—were issued Nov. 5. At that time, the Delta variant represented almost all U.S. Covid-19 cases, and both agencies appropriately considered Delta at length and in detail, finding that the vaccines remained effective against it.

Those findings are now obsolete. As of Jan. 1, Omicron represented more than 95% of U.S. Covid cases, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Because some of Omicron’s 50 mutations are known to evade antibody protection, because more than 30 of those mutations are to the spike protein used as an immunogen by the existing vaccines, and because there have been mass Omicron outbreaks in heavily vaccinated populations, scientists are highly uncertain the existing vaccines can stop it from spreading. As the CDC put it on Dec. 20, “we don’t yet know . . . how well available vaccines and medications work against it.”


Meanwhile our current vaccines are Limited/basically worthless as per the Pfizer CEO!

Pfizer CEO: Our Vaccines Offer ‘Limited, If Any Protection’

Speaking during remarks to a J.P. Morgan healthcare conference this week, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla openly stated current vaccines the company developed for Wuhan coronavirus offer “limited, if any” protection against contracting current variants of the disease. He then encouraged booster shots.

The statement from Bourla comes as the Biden administration continues to justify vaccine mandates for federal workers, contractors and private businesses. The Supreme Court heard arguments about President Biden’s mandates for private companies and medical workers last week. A ruling is expected soon on the constitutionality of the mandates.

A number of people who have pointed out the waning efficacy of Pfizer’s vaccines, which Bourla touted last year as being “100 percent” effective against contracting or transmitting the virus, have been banned by social media companies.

It’s all about teaching COMPLIANCE….
...not “following the science”:

Masks are:

1) a sign of submission, subversion and subjugation
2) mandated in order to dehumanize
3) virtue signaling devices
4) meant to provide constant reinforcement of fear
5) used to destroy community, friends and family normal communication
6) implemented to create isolation, confusion, anxiety, destroy human connectivity, trust and interactions
7) mandated to exacerbate illness
8) intended to aid in the abandonment of the belief and reliance on our immune systems
9) intended to refute integrous science
10) signal to positions of power that you are willing to give up all of your rights and freedoms based on anything they say, even if it is a BIG FAT LIE!

This thread is for “Abuse”, if you want an “Argument”, that’s the next thread over...

He had access to technical information. I guess you don’t.

Since when does an experimental treatment get approved to become a vaccine in less than 2 years?

It’s unprecedented. They can call them “vaccines” if they want to make sheeple feel comfortable taking them but you can call a duck a pig...that doesn’t make it so.
