Well it set up mail voting and a stolen election so I would say it worked damn well.

There were plenty of retards here cheer leading a failed vax. Phase two, side effects, haven’t seen much activity here lately from the vax supporters.

RE: to force Trump out.....

That’s true.

And somebody rush these facts over to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. I can still hear the echoes of her whiny voice saying “We follow science. We’ve saved thousands of lives.” While restaurants, health clubs and small stores went out of business.

Of course the govt is incapable of admitting an error so they will double down on these lockdowns unless forced to do otherwise.

My dream is Nuremberg trials for Fauci and his ilk.

Thank you for referencing that article Hojczyk. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Emphasizing that I'm not medically trained, please consider the following.

"Lockdowns had little or no impact on COVID-19 deaths, new study shows"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Lockdowns were originally intended not to stop CV19, but to "flatten the curve" so that medical services would not be overwhelmed.

The fact that some cultures are not trained for quick lockdown response didn't help things.

In fact, don't do like Nancy Pelosi did and go to restaurants to spite "Orange Man Bad" lockdown.

Regarding politically weaponized (imo) CV19 lockdowns, the first step in lockdown is for artificial lighting urbanites to start taking vitamin D3 supplements, in my non-medical opinion, if they are not already doing so imo.

The real question to be answered regarding CV19 deaths imo is, are experimental mRNA jabs killing more people than the virus is?

Insights welcome.

Lockdowns, masks, social distancing...were not about health.

Of course it didn’t! You never quarantine or mask healthy people. No! Coming up on year 3 of this absurdity!

By forcing people to isolate, they compromised the immune systems of millions resulting in millions of unnecessary deaths. If there had been no lockdowns, no vaccines and no masking, this would have been over a year ago.

Bingo.

Overall, we conclude that lockdowns are not an effective way of reducing mortality rates during a pandemic, at least not during the first wave of the COVID - 19 pandemic. Our results are in line with the World Health Organization Writing Group (2006), who state, “ Reports from the 1918 influenza pandemic indicate that social - distancing measures did not stop or appear to dramatically reduce transmission [...] In Edmonton, Canada, isolation and quarantine were instituted; public meetings were banned; schools, churches, colleges, theaters, and other public gathering places were closed; and business hours were restric ted without obvious impact on the epidemic .” Our findings are also in line with Allen 's (2 021) conclusion: “The most recent research has shown that lockdowns have had, at best, a marginal effect on the number of Covid - 19 deaths.”

Let’s see...

Instead of going to mom and pop shops where you might contact the same dozen people, you could ONLY go to big stores like Walmart where you would contact thousands.

Instead of quarantining the sick, you quarantined the healthy.

Instead of letting doctors try treating the disease with anything that they think might work (as doctors ALWAYS used to do) you had bureaucrats limit them to what they (the bureaucrats) told them they could use.

instead of using ALL THE USUAL METHODS for fighting disease, you had bureaucrats telling doctors what to do- and limiting known effective drugs.

Let’s let government control ALL of health care!!!
