China’s financial hub Shanghai reported a record surge in daily local Covid-19 infections on Monday amid the country’s determined efforts to contain growing outbreaks despite the “mild symptoms” reported. Shanghai reported 24 new domestically-transmitted Covid-19 cases with confirmed symptoms on Monday and a further 734 local asymptomatic infections, which Wu Jinglei, director of Shanghai Health Commission, attributed to rounds of mass screening in the city last week. “Shanghai is standing the test of a severe epidemic,” Wu said, referring to the mass testing carried out from last Wednesday to Sunday. In response to the health crisis, the Shanghai Disney Resort will close from Monday until further notice.

1. The survival rate of “Covid” is over 99%. Government medical experts went out of their way to underline, from the beginning of the pandemic, that the vast majority of the population are not in any danger from Covid.

8. Lockdowns do not prevent the spread of disease. There is little to no evidence lockdowns have any impact on limiting “Covid deaths”. If you compare regions that locked down to regions that did not, you can see no pattern at all.

A coworker in Shanghai was locked down for about a week because 1 person in her apartment tested positive. She got release Friday and when she went to work on Monday, she was not allowed in because it was locked down. It’s like playing Whack a Mole.

The survival rate from Polio was also 99%. Does that mean that polio wasn’t dangerous?

The Chinese Communists hope the West will gain obey in the "monkey see, monkey do" game of lockdowns, in order to hobble competing economies.

And why not? It worked magnificently the first time around.

No matter how you slice it, there are nanny staters (even on Free Republic) who are all onboard for subjecting people against their will to an invasive medical procedure with an experimental medication.

These turds are often the same people who insist that nobody is forced to submit to an injection. Those asshats like to tell you that you can always get another job.

They are the jackasses who, if they had been in Communist China, would have been completely okay with the murder of tens of millions of people because they thought it was “for the common good”.

Stop educating people with no knowledge of statistics, are paranoid about the nothing burger vaccine with 0.02% adverse side effects.

Never mind the actual recent data from New Zealand shows hospitalization rates for unvaccinated are 7 times higher than vaccinated.

Function of vaccines is never to PREVENT infection. That is metaphysically impossible since vaccines do not build a virus proof filter in nose and neither can any vaccine build a glass enclosure around the body. Sole function of any vaccine is to create additional antibodies to fight the virus after it invades. That reduces chance of ending up in a hospital with more serious symptomd.

Yep. Reading through Kennedy’s Fauci book, have to keep putting it down....gets my heart racing. Plenty of evidence they just let thousands die for no reason.
