The COVID Skeptics Were Right

When Alex Berenson, the former New York Times reporter, said that people will look back on the coronavirus lockdown as a “colossal mistake,” many scoffed. But with each passing day, as the failures of government at every level become clearer, Berenson and other COVID skeptics look increasingly perceptive. The governmental cure was worse than the disease.
“What I think is that people took a very, very aggressive action a month ago without necessarily thinking through what the economic or societal consequences were going to be,” Berenson said to the press in April. “Now more and more evidence is coming out that we responded too harshly, that maybe we should

CV-19 was orchestrated by the DNC and China with the sole purpose of tanking the economy, jobs, and prosperity for the masses for the sole purpose of getting rid of President Trump. It's called collateral damage for the Murder Inc. party.

Spot on. This scamdemic was based on the same poor data modeling combined with the false moral superiority, fear mongering and lack of concern of the harm that they are inflicting to society that climate activists display.

I kept saying this is no worse than the flu. COVID 19 would have been like a weak flu season if the democrat governors did not murder the innocent elderly in their states to push up the fatality rate. Someone needs to pay for this. It was only the blue states that did the unthinkable to the elderly with COVID19. This was definitely orchestrated by someone but who.

Those COVID models turned out to be as accurate as the global warming models.

There are still "intelligent" people in my office who believe the numbers and wear masks. Depressing. Two days ago the blaring Drudge headlines spoke of the second wave, and a continuing 1,000 deaths per day in America. I want to say to some: "You know it's never going to be safe for you to take that mask off."

Anybody who did the math on the results of the early Princess Cruise, which represented a perfectly closed test environment and showed how actually unlikely death is from COVID-1984, has known for months this was a shamdemic.

The reporters on mainstream media are mostly actors and certainly not journalists.

This was either orchestrated from the get-go or somebody saw an opportunity to capitalize on a strain of the flu.

Trump said he took 10 minutes to decide to shut this economy down, after Fauci and Birx came to him. So large a decision should never have been made without discussion to allow for all perspectives, and the knowledge of a wider circle. That was a huge mistake. We now have more socialism in the form of demagoguery, more government debt, more government interference in our lives than ever in history. Worse, America's CEO's have politicized the corporations, and become ideologues that use customer email addresses to propagate their political views, and posting of signs at their store entrances, many stores now openly Democrat Party stores. Trump is our only hope, but even Trump is getting involved in many more matters than I want the government involved in. I do not expect every aspect of my life to be resolved in DC. This is not the limited government that I thought I was voting for.

The original stay at home order was for 15 days. It morphed into a a never-ending thing. Now the media is trying to scare people again by claiming a so-called "second wave" is imminent. This is not backed up by evidence at this point. But even if there is an increase in cases, we are much better able to handle it now, with readily available testing. People who are sick or exposed can stay home. Another lockdown, in my opinion, would lead to a big increase in suicides.

And yet so many idiots are still social distancing and wearing masks. Went to Olive Garden in N. Charleston (hate it, sister's request), walked up to the door, idiot hostess met us at the door with, "Can I help you?" My sister answered and the girl turned and went back inside, left us standing outside. First of all, can I help you? What did she think we were there for? I told my sister she should have let me answer. My answer would have been, "We're here to adopt a pet." Anyway, I opened the door and asked why we were standing outside. The parking lot was not close to being full. She said we couldn't come in until they found us a table, and until then we had to wait outside. I said, "Well goodbye, we won't be waiting outside." It was the fact that they were practicing social distancing without enforcing the masks LAW, but it was also her superior attitude on behalf of her management, and the foolishness of it all. Close the darn restaurant until it's completely "safe" to be open. I don't prefer OG, but you won't ever get me close to one again. It must be that I'm getting too old for foolishness; my patience is just gone.

Donald Trump did not close anything down. He was optimistic from the very beginning while Fauci and Scarf Lady spread the daily doom and gloom. A bunch of democrat dictators panicked and then saw an opportunity to control people and self-massage their egos. The worst of them turned out to be the least competent, Whitmer, Cuomo, Northam, Pritzker, Wolf, Inslee. Enough people have finally figured out that there was a huge overreaction and there will not be another shutdown no matter how much worse the recent rioting drives the COVID count up. If good citizens are harassed by local governments again they will turn into rioters, now that the behavior has been pronounced acceptable.

Wearing masks is the social fashion du jour, for some. Besides, sales of masks is now big business. Watch the TV commercials and see people wearing masks to work in their flower beds, jog, fish, and probably to have sex!

The skeptics were right, but the public was and generally is still terrorized by public service announcements, commercials for "clean" services for package and even auto delivery, and more. More than half the folks I've seen in suburban "open" Wisconsin are wearing masks and slathering on sanitizer. It was worse in Maryland a week ago. And in Texas it seems the mask wearing phenomenon has grown, too. Certainly in suburban Houston.
And the politicians can hide behind or take credit for the minimal loss of life, even if at the expense of our economy. After all, we were at war...right? Everyone is a soldier in the fight against this virus. And that war continues while government enforces its edicts and rules.

One of my favorite headlines in this hoax season is this:
COVID 'Immunity Passport' No More Reliable Than a Coin Flip
https://www.webmd.com/lung/features/covid-immunity-passport-no-more-reliable-than-coin-flip#1
it would be great to give people confidence as they go back to work, go to summer camp, or patronize local businesses.
But there are a lot of caveats to antibody testing. Experts have rightly pointed out that just because you have antibodies against coronavirus, it doesn't mean that you have protective antibodies; you'd need a specialized viral culture test to prove that.
I was a skeptic from the get go. This nonsense has to stop.
Problem is, it's a fully loaded train, and momentum is a real thing.

Lock Americans in their homes for 4 months and then watch what happens!!! We are reaping what Fauci sowed and Trump allowed. My President missed this one...bigly! Stop listening to Jared and get back on message, Sir! You will be fine. Americans don't want lawlessness in the streets! Just be POTUS, not a mayor or Governor...but POTUS!!! That is who you are and what we elected. Stay off Twitter!!! Start the rallies back up and start calling Joe out of the basement for debates! (check him before the debate, however! He will be wired up with sound equipment feeding him answers.) An electronic jamming device could be used...I'm sure the CIA has them... Good luck sir...we are still with you!
