You know that. We know that. You know that we know it. And we know that you know that we know it. So you can stop trying to fool us with strawman arguments. The lockdowns, masking and social distancing recommendations were known to be arbitrary and not effective. All one needs to do is witness the results of those countries who did not follow those protocols. In conclusion, your arguments are flawed and/or make no sense.

I can and do deny that the total overreaction and totalitarian measures imposed saved life in reality they most likely cost more life...they certainly caused untold economic misery, disrupted worldwide trade, caused huge inflation,cost kids years of schooling lead to a huge increase in mental and physical diseases...ruined the (last remaining) trust a large portion of people had in so called "trusted" institutions and ushered in even more censorship and surveillance. 2 1 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look to the results of countries whose populations were not subjected wholesale to the 'vax'. Then extrapolate.

In any case, you'll believe what you want to believe. Whether what you choose to believe is true or not is of no consequence to you.

Too may assumptions and inferences from things I've not implied. I'm not from the US. Fauci worked directly or indirectly for Trump. I'll give him some credit for at least having the balls to show us how much of a nutter Trump was for suggesting we get injected with bleach or disinfectant, or irradiated with massive doses of UV. I tend to believe the doctors and nurses that were working on the front line and seeing what COVID did to previously healthy people first hand. There were many such cases all across the UK media (left leaning, right leaning and closer to central).

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Remember this? Lockdowns and face masks ‘unequivocally’ cut spread of Covid, report finds Royal Society review looks at non-pharmaceutical interventions when applied in packages of several measures Measures taken during the Covid pandemic such as social distancing and wearing face masks “unequivocally” reduced the spread of infections, a report has found. Experts looked at the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) – not drugs or vaccines – when applied in packages that combine a number of measures that complement one another. The Royal Society report, called Covid-19: examining the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions, reviewed the evidence gathered during the pandemic for six groups of NPIs and their effectiveness in reducing transmission. ... When assessed individually, there was positive – if limited – evidence of transmission reduction from many of the NPIs used in the pandemic, the review found. However, evidence of a positive effect was clear when countries used combinations of NPIs.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Remember this? Earlier lockdown could have saved lives of 30,000, Hancock tells Covid inquiry Tens of thousands of lives could have been saved if the UK had locked down three weeks earlier, Matt Hancock has told the Covid inquiry, as he described the operation of Boris Johnson’s Downing Street as undermined by a “culture of fear”. The former health secretary said his staff were abused by Dominic Cummings and that Johnson’s then chief adviser attempted to exclude ministers and even Johnson himself from key decisions at the start of the pandemic, hampering the government’s response. ... Hancock argued that in retrospect the ideal date for a first lockdown would have been three weeks earlier than the eventual date of 23 March 2020, saying this could have prevented about 90% of the death toll in the first Covid wave, or more than 30,000 lives. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/30/hancock-tells-covid-inquiry-of-toxic-culture-in-johnson-government Edited May 9 by TallGuyJohninBKK 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Or this: What We’ve Learned About So-Called ‘Lockdowns’ and the COVID-19 Pandemic "Plenty of peer-reviewed studies have found government restrictions early in the pandemic, such as business closures and physical distancing measures, reduced COVID-19 cases and/or mortality, compared with what would have happened without those measures. ... In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as the virus spread around the globe, many countries implemented restrictions on movement and social gatherings in an effort to flatten the curve — or reduce sharp spikes in caseloads to avoid overwhelming health care facilities. Without vaccines or evidence-based treatments, these non-pharmaceutical interventions, or NPIs, were the only public health measures available for months to combat the pandemic. ... There have been a lot of studies assessing whether and to what extent so-called “lockdowns” and various NPIs have been effective, and plenty of research that has concluded these measures can limit transmission, or reduce cases and deaths. https://www.factcheck.org/2022/03/scicheck-what-weve-learned-about-so-called-lockdowns-and-the-covid-19-pandemic/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockdowns and face masks ‘unequivocally’ cut spread of Covid, report finds Even if that's true, at what cost? They could eliminate traffic fatalities by simply banning private vehicles. They could reduce deaths due to alcohol abuse by simply banning alcohol. The same way they could reduce Covid fatalities by putting millions of people out of business, banning them from seeing loved ones in their final days, and forcing them to take vaccines that weren't really vaccines in the traditional sense. As has been pointed out, there's an entire generation of kids that are behind on their schooling and their socialization skills. It'll be years before the long term data tells us whether the mRNA shots saved more than they damaged (and killed). Millions of businesses were bankrupted, and $$ trillions were added to the world's debt. There's more to life than not getting a disease that mostly kills those who have co-morbidities. It would be interesting to see a genuine study of how many years of life were added by the Orwellian way Covid was handled, and how many years of life were taken away by the Orwellian way Covid was handled.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Or this: Study: Physical distancing better at stemming COVID-19 than US/Mexico border closure A genomic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in San Diego and Mexico reveals that physical distancing was more effective than international border closures in containing the virus. Scripps Research scientists and colleagues sequenced more than 82,000 SARS-CoV-2 samples gathered from routine genomic surveillance in San Diego and the state of Baja California, Mexico, to reconstruct viral spread dynamics from March 2020 to the end of the first Omicron surge in December 2022. ... Mandate relaxation led to more distant travel During stay-at-home and physical distancing mandates early in the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 spread primarily within and between adjacent counties. But as mandates eased, people started to travel farther, and COVID-19 spread from distant locations rose. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/study-physical-distancing-better-stemming-covid-19-usmexico-border-closure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Study finds more than 28 million extra years of life lost in 31 countries in 2020 Over 28 million more years of life were lost than expected in 2020 in 31 upper-middle and high-income countries, finds a study published by The BMJ today. Except for Taiwan, New Zealand, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and South Korea, all other countries examined had more premature deaths than expected in 2020, with a higher rate in men than women. The highest rates of excess premature deaths were in Russia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, and the US. Understanding the full impact of the covid-19 pandemic requires not only counting excess deaths (difference between observed and expected numbers of deaths from all causes), but also analysing how premature those deaths are. https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/study-finds-more-than-28-million-extra-years-of-life-lost-in-31-countries-in-2020/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
