Strict mask, vaccine rules could have saved as many as 250K lives, says new study

Stricter COVID-19 restrictions could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the states that refused to institute them, though efforts to close nursing homes and schools likely caused more harm than good, a new study has found.

Between 118,000 and 248,000 more Americans would have survived the pandemic if all states had followed some restrictions practiced in Northeastern states, according to findings published Friday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

The most effective responses were mask mandates and vaccine requirements, the JAMA study found.

“COVID-19 restrictions saved lives,” the researchers wrote.

“The death toll was probably considerably higher than it would otherwise have been in states that resisted imposing these restrictions, banned their use, or implemented them for only relatively short periods of time.”

Mask mandates and scare tactics worked so well to alter the 2020 election, so they figure on bringing back this malarkey.

Bull. One of those alphabet agencies said that none of what was done helped: not distancing, not masking, not closing small businesses, not putting stupid arrows in grocery store aisles, none of it

It is a miracle—I survived Covid without any vaxxes.

Follow the magic!

a walk in the fresh air and sunshine would have done wonders. God gave you his vaccine and you said HE was wrong.

From “The Journal of American Medical Association” - yeah, no thanks. They’re guilty of covering up harmful effects of the Jim Jones Jab and here they are spreading lies that masks, which were proven to be ineffective, would somehow have worked if people were only forced to wear them more.

“Trap bacteria and germs on your face for at least 8 hours a day”

That is so it! I have been telling that to people from the very beginning. At the hospital when we wear a mask it is to go in a room, prior with handwashing, before leaving room remove mask and throw it away in a special container, wash hands.

People leave the same mask on, put it in the car, wear it every day, go shopping in it, touch everything in the store where germs ARE, no handwashing at any point there, the mask if it did pick up germs is right next to your nose where they enter the body, they take the mask off in the car, use it again and again.

Insane.
