These Pandemic Rules Weren’t “Backed By Science” After All

Dr. Fauci is back in the news after apparently admitting that rules for masking children and social distancing weren’t as scientific as we were led to believe. Let’s talk about it.

We saw Nancy Pelosi getting her hair cut and Newsom eating at a restaurant WITHOUT masks. Hmm. And we remember what they said. First they said, "Masks don't help". They changed that to "you HAVE to wear a mask". It wasn't a recommendation, they made sure businesses were made to FORCE us to wear them or you were kicked out. I also remember democrats saying that if Trump made a vaccine available, they were NOT going to take it since they couldn't trust it. Then they FORCED us to take it to keep your job. It was not optional for healthcare workers (I was one) and many other fields. People lost their jobs. How can we trust anything they say? It was a test to see if they could do what the Nazis developed. Come up with a system where neighbors inform on their neighbors. It was a test. Unfortunately, many of us failed.

The only way they would let me remove my mask to work, was to get the damn shot - that or be let go.

[@wickywickyjoka]

[@victorcates9330]

I have a lot of sympathy for those people. I cited articles from years before the pandemic where medical professions discussed prior lab leaks (smallpox, MERS etc). Similarly, previous economic depressions had projections of substantial deaths of despair. So when challenging the orthodoxy was punished, it was clear that in medical terms what was being discussed wasn't 'beyond the pale'. Additionally, it seems like Fauci was prepared to lie from the start. In the public rush for protective equipment, he said some of it wasn't effect presumably to enable the medical profession to scoop it up. Ok, you can justify that as a white lie, but after people have reason to doubt you, it's hard to smash them for questioning. The other detail is that his answers place a burden of proof on others. If something may be effective, he could say we took an educated guess. But it's an incorrect approach. The government should be subject to 'what are we allowed to do?' rather than 'what are we not allowed to do?'. The flu demonstates this. Does it kill people? absolutely. But the approach to that tries to balance - rather than handing over the reins for the health gestapo to do everything they think could have a greater than 0.01 chance of being helpful. There were famines and military takeovers during the shutdown. If money wasn't flowing, tinpot dictators could decide that they might as well consolidate power - rather than paint a smiling face on their regimes to get investment or tourism. You weren't even allowed to try to make a list of pros and cons to make sure the math added up. Das ist verboten.

Ever since then I refuse to just follow what these institutions say on blind faith. I luckily only got the first shot and not the boosters, but who knows what damage it's done. Also found it ironic that every friend I have talked to that has gotten like 4-5 boosters have had covid just about as many times. Makes ya wonder.

I stayed indoors during lockdown so much because I had crazy neighbors who'd call the cops on you for just walking out to take out garbage that the rare times I stepped foot outside, I'd get dizzy from the sun. Only person I had contact with was my fiance, and while I was on the waiting list for the first shot, I got covid. He was fine, and I just slept a lot and was crankier than usual. When I got contacted for my shot appointment, I let them know I already had covid and I didn't need the shot. I was told even though I was over it, I still had to get the shot. Out of all the vaccinations I've gotten in my life, only one I had a reaction to was the covid one where I got a lump the size of a baseball where they gave me the jab.

[@giftedfox1]

I took the morderna vaccine and I reacted badly. Before the shot I was very healthy but afterwards I was so sick I felt like I was dying. The arm I took the shot on went numb at first, then I felt unbelievable pain. I was sick for a month, lost my sense of smell and taste for 3 months and I developed mobility issues with the arm that got the shot. It was horrible 😡😡🤬

Well good on you. I got thrown off public transportation because of arguing about masks. I’m in my 60s and 70% Vet SRD. I had the cops called on me because I purchased a sandwich so I could sit inside while I was waiting on my bus, in the middle of winter, but my state had again, shut down indoor dinning, so I was supposed to eat my sandwich out in the rain and cold, not in the store. I told them I’m eating my sandwich inside, which I did, until it was time to go to my buss stop, and never entered that sandwich place again. I have no idea if the Cops ever showed. Every fricken store in my area complied with state “guidelines”, to the point where some of them went out of business. This meant I had to, or I could not do business with them. Even arguing that these were guidelines not regulations, which my state could not make, made no difference to them (This did make me notice a whole lot of dead eyes.). Hells, the local churches were sitting outside, under tents, during the winter, to comply with state “guidelines”. That’s how ludicrous things got. Yeah, I got the Jab, even though as far as I know I have never gotten Covid and I knew that I was way more likely to die of Heart Disease or Cancer (I did the numbers.), because the State told me I would get my life back (They lied.). I spent 10 years in the US Navy, constantly getting jabbed every time I deployed/detached, so what was one more jab. Not seeing the blood dot on the second shot, and the person who gave me the shot not being able to find the needle entry point for the cotton ball does not exactly give me a lot of confidence in this jab. Now I wonder if my increase in pain over the past few years is because of just getting older or is it the Jab. I’m an Independent and I understand why we have and enforce “our” laws, and I do not just follow them because I have been indoctrinated to follow laws, unlike much of the Right. I’m older, in more pain, and angrier then I was in 2020. If things go sideways again I’m going to be carrying this time.

[@matthewatwood8641]

I was over 50 and had extremely high blood pressure when I got it, the first time, and then the second time, and then got sick after I got the first shot, and then even sick or after the second shot. I can't believe I fell for the stupid shot. I knew better, and I held out all the way till the end, and then got it at the last minute just out of frustration from not being able to go a lot of places. I'll be kicking myself for that for a while. I'm finally clear of all of the side effects. That schidt is poison
