Tucker Carlson: We were lied to about coronavirus and the mass lockdowns. Here's the proof (VIDEO)

Millions of Americans remain subjected to unprecedented restrictions on their personal lives, their daily lives, their family's lives.

The coronavirus lockdowns continue in many places. You may not know that because it gets no publicity, but it's true. And if you're living under it, you definitely know.

As a result of this, tens of millions of people are now unemployed. A huge number of them have no prospects of working again. Many thousands of small businesses are closed and will never reopen. More Americans have become dependent on drugs and alcohol, seeing their marriages dissolve, and become clinically depressed.

Some of them delayed their weddings. Others were banned by the government from burying their loved ones in funerals. Some Americans will die of cancer because they couldn't get cancer screenings, some unknown number have taken their own lives in despair. Others have flooded the streets to riot because bottled up rage and frustration take many forms.

The cost of shutting down the United States and denying our citizens desperately needed contact with one another is hard to calculate. But the cost has been staggering.

The people responsible for doing all of this,say they have no regrets about it. We faced a global calamity, they say. COVID-19 was the worst pandemic since the Spanish flu. That flu killed 50 million people.

We had no choice. We did the right thing. That's what they're telling us. Is it true?

The answer to that question matters, not just because the truth always matters, but because the credibility of our leaders is at stake here. This is the biggest decision they have made in our lifetimes. They were able to make it. They rule because we let them. Their power comes from us.

Most people in states that were supposed to stay home never did so there was barely any difference between the states that shut down and those that didn’t. Nail salons and gambling joints here would be told to go home but they’d open right back up as soon as the cops were out of sight. Walmart become the bored housewives’ hang out. All manner of workers went to work. People called in every contractor and handyman within 50 miles to hang essential twinkle lights and other suddenly essential house and yard projects. Parking lots remained full. Street traffic was normal. Nothing changed in my neck of the woods as far as people being out and about during the stay home.

Check the border states and the numbers coming out of Latin America. We know a lot more about Covid than we did at the beginning of the lockdown, which was the actual purpose of the lockdown, since China was lying to the whole world while hoarding ppe. We learned is that masks are helpful, mass transit needs to be regularly cleaned, and this isn’t the Black Plague that devastated Europe.

So, wear a mask, get back to work if you aren’t one of the poor schmucks still dealing with the disease, and let’s get to work making fabric masks to send our neighboring Latin American countries.

I also think we need to pay attention to how we are being stressed out and manipulated into mass hysteria witch hunts. What happens if mass hysteria is weaponized to drive the vote as I believe it may have been for Bush the younger’s second term as well as the 2018 election (Russia witch hunt).

Social media is a driver of stress as well as misinformation. That needs to be addressed. A quick way for most people would be to simply turn it off.

How are COVID deaths counted?

How many Americans are likely to die in a worst-case scenario?

What is the evidence that lockdowns do or do not help reduce the spread of the illness?

Why did the forecasts for coronavirus hospitalizations prove so wrong?

If you knew the backstory of the electronic alteration of vote totals for President in 2016 and how it was stopped, you would know why the fraud party is going all out for vote by mail - vote at home.

Tucker has been really “on” lately. But I do miss “Final Exam.”

[Hostage]

Yes, precisely.

No advertiser interested in future sales gives a damn about one groups disagreements with the show’s point of view.

A boycott can be started to push that but if the show has eyeballs, boycotts are notoriously ineffective.

being forced to breathe in carbon monoxide via their facemasks

You nean carbon dioxide? With my mask (required at my job), I have to breathe deeper to get fresh air into the mask. Of course deeper breathing increases the risk of infection, so who knows how useful it is. I think the chances of someone spreading via talking is reduced with a mask. OTOH, when I went to the farm store the other day, the clerk lowered her mask any time she talked.

LOL

You're right - carbon dioxide.

I respectfully disagree with Mr. Carlson concerning some of his points.

First, many people died from Spanish flu because electronic communication was still crude then, so world leaders couldn’t call a timely global lockdown.

In fact, PDJT had to accept what he was initially hearing from Chinese, WHO and CDC about the new virus as factual, since he had time-sensitive decisions to make.

More specifically, lockdowns need to be declared early enough to be effective in my non-medical opinion. When lockdown is called too late, it is arguably worse than no lockdown because you wind up quarantining with people who are probably already infected.

Unfortunately, “Orange Man Bad” election year, desparate Democrats basically told people to ignore PDJT’s national emergency and party before flip-flopping and declaring their late, politically correct, ineffective lockdowns, unthinkingly putting big cities in high-risk situations imo.

In fact, another reason for early lockdown is to prevent medical support from being overwhelmed.

The good news is that forward-looking PDJT indicated months ago that pandemic has given him the opportunity to rebuild the FDA, CDC, medical support and drug industries, like he has rebuilt the military.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

In the US the Spanish Flu was in full epidemic and the powers that be still decided to have war bond rallies with parades. Cost thousands their lives.

We were lied to about George Floyd’s death.

[jersey117]

He was already exposed as a fraud when he didn’t caution the protesters

[jersey117]

Tucker, Hannity and Ingraham keep Fox News alive. We really don’t need them much anymore. We have 4 other conservative cable networks plus streaming options and the internet.

[central_va]

Dobbs is great.

Thanks bitt.

The Hong Kong flu of 1968 caused about 100,000 deaths too. No bloviating, no lockdowns, no social distancing, no masks. Instead, there was a national election, in person, and they threw the Woodstock festival.

With in two weeks of this ‘’pandemic’’ I knew it was complete bs. Here in socialist NJ this clown of a governor is going to keep us ockd down for as long as possible.
