Who Believes the Lockdowns
Were About Science?

Original Article

Posted By: Garnet, 5/22/2020 4:55:10 AM

Every state and local politician who imposed lockdowns pursuant to the COVID-19 pandemic claimed their decisions were based on “the science.” In reality, they ignored the advice of leading epidemiologists, relying instead on statistical models produced by “experts” with histories of wildly inaccurate projections. The most notorious of these oracles was, of course, Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London, who claimed that coronavirus could kill 2.2 million Americans. Based on such apocalyptic predictions, combined with overcautious warnings from Beltway bureaucrats like Dr. Anthony Fauci, all but a few governors implemented economically destructive stay-at-home orders — despite the reservations of respected epidemiologists who questioned the logic of lockdowns from the beginning.

I could see two weeks, but with no end in sight. It is totally political. These governors of the blue states will do anything, yes, anything to regain power in the Whitehouse. Even running their states into the ground and destroying the lives of their constituents. We need to vote republican and take our country back.

Many people are starting to admit that they believe the lockdowns were more about politics than about science.

FTA: “ This nonsense has nothing to do with science or public health. It is, as always, about politics and power. It’s time to come out and dare them to do something about it.” I agree wholeheartedly with the author. To reinforce my thinking, I needed nothing more than to read the edict sent out by the CDC regarding the opening of schools this fall. It is absurdity on steroids. We cannot continue to live like this. Our children deserve better. All we are offering them is fear and anxiety. Our lives are being upended for pure political lust for power. The democrats believe that this a winning strategy but reasonable Americans see it for what it is, a power play by the democrats. Clearly, they are prepared to use fear and anxiety to accomplish what they cannot at the ballot box. That is not going to work. Americans won’t stand for it.

We have put republicans in total power before. What did it get us? A bunch of wimps who hide under their beds and whine that the votes aren't there, and who give the dems anything they want and get nothing in return. We have played that game over and over and with the exception of the Gingrich years, they have always been a disappointment if not a flat out betrayal. The republican party is run by traitors such as McCain and Romney, and I see no change in sight. They are on the same road headed toward the same cliff as the democrats, they are just using a different lane.

This is corrupt politics. Not only with the left but with China and I have to think you would find Soros in there somewhere. The third time a charm phrase comes to my mind, they tried with impeachment, Russia collusion and the virus. This will back fire big on them. I don’t care which side of the aisle a person is on, you don’t mess with their money and freedom.

If they have their way, we will be locked up until we mail in our vote on November 3rd. They will not have their way!!! I hope the whole stinking map turns red, as a result of their tyrannical power grab. We need to change the color of blue to a soft pastel to better reflect their aura.

FTA: "The likely result would be not just a depression but a complete economic breakdown, with countless permanently lost jobs..." This has been the Democrats' desired, and now planned, outcome from the start. The #resistance on steroids. They had been talking openly about finding ways to destroy President Trump's crowning achievement, the outstanding economy and the historically low unemployment, particularly for minorities. The Democrats just couldn't allow that to continue up to the election. The virus gave them the golden opportunity to wreck it just in time. And they gleefully and sadistically took it. The "science" they used as the excuse not only doesn't support their strict lockdown actions, but in fact confirms that it is targeted and politically motivated. The fatality rates are statistically NOT extraordinary. The most severely affected populations (very aged, multiple co-morbidities, compromised immune systems, etc.) are NOT the general population, and most certainly not the population that makes our economy run. The latter point is confirmed daily in grocery stores, big box retail stores, gas stations, delivery services, AND pet revenue-generating businesses of Democrat governments (liquor stores and lottery outlets). Clearly, NONE of those businesses have been ravaged or even materially affected. Why would any other business be any worse affected if they took similar precautions? Answer: They wouldn't. This isn't just a "lockdown", it's a siege. End it.

First of all, the Democrats want Trump supporters dead, so I don't think it is about our health. Secondly, the article outlines common sense strategies of first finding out what you are faced with, then considering the options, instead of panicking and imposing a nationwide lockdown. It is the biggest and stupidest mistake in history. And the politicians that have done it are going to be held accountable at the election box. I definitely remember your names and I am going to the polls to specifically vote against you. I would support local and state recall elections to get rid of the lockdown crowd. By the way, the lockdown crowd can take their masks, social distancing, vaccines, Gates and Soroses, and pack it off somewhere else.

Corrupt politicians and charlatans like to use models as justification for their actions because people, especially young people, tend to have faith in technology- even that which they don't understand. The predictions of models are impossible to refute until time passes, during which the corrupt politicians and charlatans can do their damage.

It's about the same kind of science that climate change is, made up to fit the agenda. It's always defined by the age old question, Cui bono, Who Profits? Like climate change, the Bat Fru has backfired. Democrats were already on a course to lose the presidency again as well as a bunch of state, local and city offices because people have seen a comparison of democrat philosophy compared to real leadership and they like jobs and prosperity better than what Barack brought them. The last three months have served to magnify their failures and the Lockdown is their final act of desperation.

#4 Chumley, you are spot on. Republicans have been the biggest disappointment in the history of American politics. No matter which party wins or looses they still keep their jobs and their benefits. There’s no incentive for them to do a better job. They’re still in Washington no matter what happens.

There were Red and Blue government officials who got sucked in by the hysteria. several are now doubling-down, others are "re-opening" furiously. In any case, it was all about "flattening the curve", and that was accomplished by the heroic public and the indefatigable medical and health care superheroes. They even got flyovers! Yay, us!!

The best model if the 'scientist' wanted one or was looking is Florida. With the population and fluid movement of people in and out look how DeSantis handled it and won. The best thing President Trump did was cease air travel form China and global hot spots. This is all political with democrats making the most of the 'summer cold'. Blue state governors are going to kill their states like the one I live in, New Mexico.

Gov. Cuomo is to be held accountable for the nursing home stuffing of NY patients with the virus; Dr. Tony Fauci is responsible for every death everywhere else. That includes those who weren't treated in time, all those who became depressed and killed someone (that's a two-fer) and many who were forced to self-quarantine, and the grieving of elderly people in care facilities who could not see their families.. The mayor of my city is responsible for the destruction and/or the withholding of MY First Amendment rights to worship and I will not ever forget that he took part in the anti-Christ tactic of the enemy of my Creator. I blame myself for holding on to the belief that local authorities are to be obeyed.

The dims always claim that it's about the science. They don't know jack about science. They believe in Karl Marx, for God's sake. That's bad poetry, not science, no matter how much old Uncle Karl may claim to be scientific. If the dims are involved, it's about power. It's about control over others. It's about giving nonentities the chance to rise to a position of faux authority that they have not earned. It's about making functionaries think that they're learned and wise. "I can order you to stay at home; I must be someone really, really, really important." Ultimately it's about lampreyism. People who don't make a positive contribution to society control those who do. They latch onto other peoples' success and suck out its lifeblood.

I believe that at the start when we really knew next to nothing and the "experts" painted a picture of gloom and doom, we acted correctly. However that time is past. It was explained, by experts, that our hospitals would be overwhelmed if we did not do as they ask. We did and the data showed that the expectations were wrong. It would not be good, but anywhere as bad as thought. We now have data and we should not react to the cry of those that were incorrect in their assumptions. It is past time to let our people go.

I object to the '20-20 hindsight' geniuses now saying that it 'obviously' wasn't necessary to lock down. Dammit - it was NOT obvious at the time. Things are ALWAYS clearer after they have transpired. Regardless of our current view, at the time the Imperial College pandemic model was widely considered to be a credible estimate of where things might go if we did nothing. And, since we DIDN'T 'run that experiment' by doing nothing, nobody will EVER know what might have happened without the lockdown. You cannot prove what "would have happened", that time line is GONE. It is entirely probable that the death rate in other states with dense populations would have been far, far higher than they have been. It is reasonable to believe that lower density states would have had lower numbers of cases, lower deaths than the poor subway/commuter train ant colony dwellers in the NE. And, with the benefit of hindsight, most states FAILED to do what was most important - ensure proper staff training, PPE and isolation of the people in long term care facilities. This was proven by Florida's nearly perfect execution of that, which should be a permanent model of what you do to protect the elderly in LTCFs when this stuff happens. Cuomo's incompetence killed seven times as many people per capita than in Fla. I am already pretty tired of --- 1) the lockdown - it is time to just back off and let things go back to normal 2) the "Karens" who are out there pushing for unending control of people's behavior, apparently forever and 3) all the "brilliant" 20-20 hindsight experts telling us now what we should have done, but which we had no possible way to know to do at the time.

#32, I read your replies very carefully and, on rare occasions when my answer disagrees with yours, I re-check my math before sharing my views. That is, hopefully respectfully, what I am doing now. I agree with #11 and have been trying to make similar points for some time. The alarming numbers we saw initially (4% fatalities) were never the "death rate." They were the number of tested patients who died. It was clear early on that testing was focusing on those with most urgent need -- i.e. those who were either already sick or feared they soon would be. It was also clear, even at that early stage, that this was not an accurate way to assess overall risk. Responsible commentators pointed out at the time that what we really needed to know was the number of people exposed versus the number who die. Many indicators have been pointing to a lower death rate for some time. And it has been clear from the beginning that some groups were at much higher risk and others dramatically less so. For example, the Covid risk to (and from) otherwise healthy children was extremely low. Locking everyone down despite this data was unprecedented. Lastly (and then I promise I will get out of your way), the lockdown was not based on the premise that it would save lives by preventing people from becoming infected. It was based on the idea that it would prevent people from becoming infected too quickly and overwhelming our medical capabilities. The "Experts" factored the lockdown into their dire predictions. Ferguson was still predicting 1.1 million US deaths with the lockdown in place. That's because he's an idiot and always has been. This was a tragic mistake. That it was largely well-intentioned and unintentional doesn't make it any less tragic.

When the Republican governors of Texas and Mississippi announced that they planned to lift their statewide COVID-19 restrictions, including mask mandates, President Biden accused them of “Neanderthal thinking.” Yet, despite the president’s repeated assurances that his coronavirus policies would “follow the science,” it’s clear that neither he nor his advisers have bothered to compare the mortality statistics of states with stringent mask mandates to those with no statewide mandates. As it happens, the average number of COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 residents in the knuckle-dragger states is about half that of those whose governors still impose strict mask mandates, according to statistics provided by the New York Times.

Leaders of the effort to recall California Gov.

But recall supporters said Sunday that they're confident they've collected enough. The most recent signature verification numbers from the Secretary of State's Office found that about 83% of the signatures counted by early February were valid.

It has now been nearly a year since “public health experts” began appearing on television talk shows insisting that, to survive COVID-19, the nation would have to pursue unprecedented mitigation policies. They told us that our salvation required draconian measures such as school closures, stay-at-home orders, and business lockdowns. Moreover, we were advised not to expect a fast return to our normal lives. In early April 2020, for example, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel solemnly assured us, “We will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine…. We need to prepare ourselves for this to last 18 months or so and for the toll that it will take.”

Exactly eight months after issuing a mask mandate in most Texas counties, Gov. Greg Abbott reversed that order on Tuesday, along with most other statewide COVID-19 orders he signed last year. Texas Gov.

This must end. It is now time to open Texas 100%.” Also effective next Wednesday, all businesses regardless of classifications are allowed to open to 100% capacity, Abbott said.

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

In an open letter released Sunday, Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden urged him to “honor his commitment” and include the Hyde Amendment in Democrats’ $1.9 trillion COVID-19 spending package, writing “we feel used and betrayed.” The letter states: We are very disappointed about the COVID-19 relief package’s exclusion of the Hyde Amendment, a longstanding bipartisan policy that prevents taxpayer funding for abortion.

Prince Harry’s American wife accused his family of hateful racism against her baby, claimed they refused to protect her and drove her to the point of suicide.She made the incendiary and implausible charge that when she was pregnant with Archie, the royal family decreed that her unborn son would be denied the title of “prince” because her mixed race meant he might have dark skin.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

The Royal Family was left reeling this morning after Meghan Markle tearfully revealed that the stress of royal life made her suicidal when she was five months pregnant, claimed Archie was denied the title of prince because he is mixed-race and said Kate Middleton made her cry before she married Harry in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.The couple also chose to reveal that they are having a baby girl to the tens of millions of people watching the CBS show broadcast in the US before accusing the Royal Family of racism and revealing the deep rift 'Megxit' has caused with Prince Charles and Prince William.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Without question, the vast majority of Americans who support former President Donald Trump were angry and frustrated throughout 2020 passed with barely a mention of then-U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the FBI’s fraudulent “Russiagate” counterterrorism operation directed at his 2016 campaign.In the weeks before the November election, word got out that then-Attorney General William Barr wasn’t going to announce any indictments or even a report on Durham’s investigation because he did not want to influence the outcome.So far, in fact, the only indictment to come out of the Durham probe is that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who essentially got a slap on the wrist

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
