To me that's a form of lying. It is affirming belief in a false narrative that keeps them in unnecessary fear.As stated in my previous post, I think all the guidelines including the mask mandates are bs, BUT I still wear a mask in public because there's a lot of people out there who don't think it's bs and who are genuinely scared. So out of respect for them, I wear the mask and try not to complain about it.
Unfortunately... we now have a MASSIVE real life trial showing masks aren't effective in stopping or mitigating Covid.Both
Prevent spread of respiratory pathogens
Prospective double-blind cross over trial with a p<0.05 proving the null hypothesis
I don't think it is either. There's a middle ground between "shut everything down" and politicizing science to the point of not taking some simple proactive measures like wearing a mask around others. But it's easier to defend a position and not sound like a complete A-Hole by saying your against shutting everything down and life must go on then it is to say you're against taking medical advice from public health experts and too much a snowflake to wear a mask and help stop the spread and protect the most vulnerable.
States that have had super strict mask mandates still have COVID outbreaks. Stop with your moral mask wearing BS. A mask is doing nothing more than providing a placebo effect. You can still get and spread COVID while wearing a mask. The fact is there is NO stopping this virus. Wearing a mask, quarantine and vaccines won’t stop it.
I swear it’s mind boggling to see people still think this COVID crap is this ultra deadly thing that is such a a huge threat. Our glorious government has created a ridiculous state of fear that unfortunately a vast majority of the people have bought into hook, line and sinker. So sad.
The one calling others of being a-holes suggested someone else was inbred for disagreeing with them?I don't think it is either.

Another false narrative... color me shocked.The over half-a-millions Americans who have died from Covid in the past 10 months disagree.

That number is the number who have died WITH covid... not "from". My father in law had COPD and emphysema. He had 10-15% lung capacity and used oxygen all the time. He caught Covid, started to get better, got worse, and passed away. The flu or even a bad cold could have done the same thing to him... but he was listed as a "Covid death" in spite of having chronic, progressive lung disease for over 30 years.
And... the early death variance numbers just started coming out. I believe the increase in total US deaths was 30,000 or so LESS than the death claims for Covid. This is before you consider the deaths that occurred from various causes due to the shutdowns. At one point, cancer referrals and treatments were down 85% due to fear of being exposed to Covid. Many of those people died. Suicides and other deaths of despair are up sharply.
The short answer... is that Covid deaths have been significantly overcounted.

Amen!! As widely reported several former/current LEOs were riding motorcycles when a car plowed into the group, three of the motorcycle riders were killed - all three death certificates listed cause of death . . . drum roll . . . COVID-19! The wives of the riders were outraged and demanded that the ME change the certificates accordingly as none of the LEOs had symptoms or had tested positive for COVID-19.
There are many other news articles of similar instances were COVID-19 was listed as the cause of death and family members stating that the deceased did not have or test positive for the illness.
If COVID truly was the cause of death, per the media of over 500,000, why is the average deaths in the US from 2019 to 2020 only separated by approximately 160,000 or an increase of 1.12%? On average over 800,000 people die in the US per year since before 2010 with an average increase per year of over 1%, with what has been widely reported wouldn't this number be closer to 1,300,000 deaths?
The number of COVID-19 deaths have been greatly exaggerated - imagine that.
Oh, here is the link that I used for the statistics - and don't give me any crap for the banner on the top of the CDC page.
