They aren’t useless.

Their leadership ■■■■■■ up.

They caused more harm than good.

Fair statement.

I see a failure of control, at least partial, this time, but we can do it better next time.

I see a fsilure of freedom this time, but we can do it better next time.

I’m not so confident. We may not have a lockdown, but some of these governors and mayors will do the exact same thing in regard to mandates, masks, and the like. They believe what they did worked. Just like when a dog barks at a passerby and they continue on their way. The dog thinks it was successful.

WuWei · 2023-05-19T13:22:37.555Z

They will lose the consent of the governed much more quickly next time.

Those who see through the pretense must speak up and demand to see the science that allegedly supports those mandates and the science arguing against them, before complying. Only when enough awake people declare the emperor naked will the sheep start to realise they are being duped.

It takes conscience and courage to beat this engineered mass formation psychosis.

Mmmmm. And the system of the CDC. The system of govmed.

It allowed one guy to run roughshod over everything.

Yes there was no speaking truth to power.

No one to remind them speed was more important than perfection…there were plenty of test kits available that had been developed both overseas and in local labs, but the CDC thought they could make a better one.

We didn’t need better test kits. We needed test kits.

That plus system failure.

The Government Asked Us Not To Release Records From The CDC’s First Failed...

Federal investigation records obtained by BuzzFeed News show how one of the most pivotal mistakes of the pandemic fell on an overburdened CDC lab with only three full-time employees.

JayJay · 2023-05-19T13:44:06.484Z

Speaking of government hubris…this excerpt from the BuzzFeed article…

The full investigation documents include about 50 pages of interviews conducted by two lawyers with the HHS Office of the General Counsel, stamped “Attorney-Client Privileged,”

Um…Federal Government? You can stamp whatever you want on those documents…but the law makes them public records no matter what you stamp on them.

The problem with masking is personal behavior was not taken into account.

and the fact that every single mandate and suggestion to wear them was based on anecdotal evidence and coincidental evidence, and every actual study concluded they did much of nothing.

I pointed out right here that scientific consensus was that population masking was worthless before Covid was released.

They know what they did was useless, but are convinced that they can convince you that they saved you

The studies that made any conclusions at all were all worthless because there was no place where they were used that came close to meeting the conditions necessary to provide a definitive conclusion.

The closest place there was…in Bangladesh where they did an experiment designed to get as possible to optimal conditions…masks (surgical) did have an impact.

The problem of course is those optimal conditions were almost impossible to achieve.

You have to be careful about “impact” attribution.

Some people will see through it. But places like New York City, or Newark NJ, they willingly abide by the rules and restrictions. When I went to NYC I was shocked at what I saw. Those people were not only abiding by the rules, but going above and beyond. It looked like a city of puppets.

I’d say 9 of 10 people had masks on outdoors. Riding bikes, scooters, walking dogs. All wearing masks. Not the dogs. Which was a bit surprising.

NYC, home of the NPC.

Pros: Folks can now work remotely at least part of the time instead of clogging up the roads every day.
Hopefully more nasty ■■■■■■■ are washing their hands.

Cons: The government, Big Pharma, etc all know that the majority of Americans will comply with
anything, no matter how illogical.
Billions of useless masks ending up in landfills, oceans.
Vax injuries and deaths.
More division and hatred in the U.S. fomented by string pullers at the top.

cloth masks did absolutely nothing, surgical masks offered 11% slower spread, but not less overall spread (which mathematically means that even more people would eventually get it because it would take longer to plateau). Everyone who was going to get the disease would eventually get the disease, mask or no mask.

Hey, when there was a very, VERY good chance it could’ve avoided then what’s not to laugh at?

And others can laugh at you when you suffer debilitating side-efects from taking the vsccine. And maybe you shouldn’t expect taxpayer funded medical support to deal with your self-inflicted iatrogenic health issues after you ignored other experts who were warning of the dangers of trusting an experimental pseudo-vaccine.

Wow, have a lot of people been suffering from…whatever those health issues you said?! I don’t look at Facebook much so I wouldn’t know.

If I got my dog a rabies vaccine and I had to keep getting them a booster every few months and my dog still got rabies, I’d be a little sceptical that the Vax worked…

But you were not allowed to say that…

That’s how crazy the govt and corp censorship got. And what side loved it? The dems…
