Vaccines, Masks, Staying At Home Did Not Make A Major Difference In COVID Case Rates, NYT Says

The New York Times said vaccinations, booster shots and masks have not caused a major difference in case rates between parts of the country with different levels of COVID-19 precautions in a Wednesday morning newsletter.

The article compared COVID-19 case rates for Democratic and Republican areas, noting that Democrats were more likely to wear masks, get vaccinated and boosted, avoid public spaces and shut down in-person schools over virus fears.

“These factors seem as if they should have caused large differences in case rates. They have not. And that they haven’t offers some clarity about the relative effectiveness of different Covid interventions,” David Leonhardt wrote in the NYT newsletter.

Restaurants in America’s most liberal cities are still seating customers at only 40% of pre-pandemic levels, while restaurants in cities like Miami, Austin, Texas, Nashville, Tennessee, and Charlotte, North Carolina, have fully recovered, according to the NYT.

“Nationwide, the number of official Covid cases has recently been somewhat higher in heavily Democratic areas than Republican areas,” the NYT newsletter read. “There is a strong argument for continuing to remove other restrictions, and returning to normal life.”

Unlike other precautions, vaccination rates were closely related to death rates, and areas that voted for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election saw approximately double the COVID-19 death rate than areas that voted for President Joe Biden, according to the NYT.

“If a new variant emerges, and hospitals are again at risk of being overwhelmed, then reinstating Covid restrictions may make sense again, despite their modest effects. But that’s not where the country is today,” the newsletter concluded.

That's because reducing "case rates" was never the point.

OMG, I’m surprised that the NYT is spreading disinformation. I’m sure that Brandon will send the FBI there to rough them up, seize their computers and shut the doors.

Continuing proof, as if it were needed, that CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.

Because neither worked, just acerbated the situation.

Who will make whole all the people who lost their jobs and businesses, or businesses that lost revenue because of what government entities made them do? Not to mention the emotional anguish caused by not being able to visit loved ones who were forced to be sequestered for some reason.

I wonder if Governor Hochul reads and comprehends. She is using tens of thousands of tax dollars to run non stop, and I mean non stop commercials from her new Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett telling New Yorkers to get the shot.

The NYT must be anti-vax racist homophobes who don’t understand the wisdom of Fauci and the CDC.

Where is the data that proves this assertion? This sounds fishy.

She's dumb as a 10-penny nail, as are most politicians.

So bloody what?

Don’t bother me with “science changed” crappola. You knew you were lying.

Until you admit that, admit that you had reason to be suspicious of what the WHO/CDC/CCP were feeding you and ignored it, you are just as likely to be lying now as then.

600,000+. That’s the number of Americans killed from the CDC/ Fauci ‘death protocol’ for CoVID that denied early prophylaxis and treatment. Dr. Zelenko had 1 death with over 1000 patients with his early treatment.

Who will echo their voices?

Never forget at the outset of the emergency plandemic and before the vax’s the government alphabets in healthcare and their willing sycophants in the media essentially persecuted those physicians/clinicians offering drug Rx’s regimens like Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. They censored and cast them as quacks meanwhile ignoring pertinent clinical studies with these drugs. Countless lives have been lost and severe symptoms in many could have been prevented by the early administration of these drugs. These murderous tyrants took away doctor/patient freedom of choice while politicizing Covid for their rotten gain$, be in monetarily or political. Selfish and callously evil.

NYT: Restrictions made little to no difference.
Also NYT: if another variant pops we might have to do restrictions again to make a difference.
I swear, you can’t make this stuff up.
