"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." -Thomas Jefferson
I grow more fascinated daily at how seemingly intelligent people have been so duped by the hysteria surrounding Covid-19. I thought I’d create this post that I’d update regularly with things that show the absurdity of our collective response. Most recent updates are at the top of the page.
Before I begin, I want to be clear on one thing: Covid-19 is real and I don’t deny that it’s a real virus that causes severe problems for a small minority of people. The problem is our response to it.
History will not judge this period kindly. We lost our collective minds over a pandemic, something that mankind has faced time and again. The sad and pathetic difference is that we thought we actually could stop this one. Be glad when it’s over, so the same hyperventilating, scientifically illiterate fools can go back to thinking we can control the climate… 🤦♂️
12/2/2020 – Virus Gonna Virus.12/2/2020 – Wear your damn 😷, for the collective aesthetic I guess.
8 Midwest states, 8 very different #COVID19 policies, yet cases are plateauing/decreasing in all of them. Schools/restaurants/bars open/closed, masks/no masks, doesn't matter. Curve shape is largely the same. Will be interesting if this trend continues even through the holidays. pic.twitter.com/kzDVvwxcs3
11/23/2020 – So much peaking going on. 11/23/2020 – Current Missouri cases. Thankfully local officials are acting. Just in time to take credit for this peak in cases. Where would we be without them?11/23/2020 – There’s a CDC “study” that is used to encourage masks. The reason they use it is because the mask mandate happened to occur at the top of the first wave. Of course, people are easily fooled by randomness, and the CDC hasn’t taken the time to update the study, as you can see that mask mandate solved everything only to bring out a Virus Gonna Virus second wave.
Important point on this, too. The outbreak in the Dakotas looks like everywhere else – a sharp rise in hospitalizations for six weeks or so (sometimes slightly longer) followed by a sudden plateau. This pattern follows regardless of population density, time of year, or anything else. Virus Gonna Virus.
It’s so strange how everyone decided to stop following the rules in all of these European countries at nearly the exact same time. Is noncompliance seasonal? https://t.co/UXvNnDjPSdpic.twitter.com/IuCoO2CaKR
Minnesota just locked down again statewide, Florida remains open. I wonder if there’s something about Vitamin D prevalence at play here. Minnesota is a cold-weather climate where people spend far more time inside.
11/11/2020 One state has mask mandate, one doesn’t. Same result. I’m sick of hearing about masks. It’s the modern day equivalent of hiding under a desk in a nuclear blast. Might feel good, doesn’t matter.11/9/2020 Thankfully France followed the science and they all wore masks. 11/5/2020 It’s almost like Virus Gonna Virus because, well, virus gonna virus. 10/30/2020 – Sweden’s population density is 10x that of Montana. 64 people per square mile versus 6.8. And Sweden doesn’t use masks.10/30/2020 – No, 1000 people didn’t die yesterday from Covid. It’s important to understand that much of the deaths that are reported are a result of data finally being compiled by sad, pathetic bureaucrats who bust their ass 9-5 Mon-Fri and not on holidays to get caught up on things that should have been done weeks ago. Context to understand this: https://twitter.com/justin_hart/status/1322228647223197696?s=21
10/30/2020 – One of the things the pro-lockdown crowd likes to do is frame the debate on Covid as one of dumb right-wingers vs the science. Well, as usual, viewing any discussion in America as purely left vs. right is just not productive. Great interview of a heterodox leftist who is not in lockstep with the craziness that’s going on around us.
Not only has Argentina had the longest lockdown in the world, they have the highest death rate. Lockdowns kill. I guess someone might want to cry for Argentina. 10/29/2020
Anyone that is calling for more lockdowns at this point is one of a few things: murderer, stupid, or power hungry. 10/27/2020Data from HHS. The latest hyperventilations of the journalists don’t match the actual data. Percentage of in-patients with Covid is only 6%. 10/25/2020Lockdowns don’t work. 10/24/2020This data is compiled from data freely available from the CDC. To help you put some perspective on the “scary” death totals. Remember, anywhere from 5000-8000 people die per day in the USA without Covid. Are deaths elevated? Only slightly. (10/10/2020)Remember Scary China Virus! is soooooooooo bad we have to lockdown until a vaccine? Well, explain this then. Thankfully we locked down, really helped the poor in America. 10/18/2020Buh, buh, buh 200,000 DeAThS!!!!! Kind of puts it in perspective. The mask vaccine working in New Mexico. Wear your damn mask, comrade! 10/14/2020Excess deaths brought to you by Team Lockdown. Good job guys, thankfully you saved grandma. 10/13/2020. 10/12/2020 – Suicides in Japan far outpace Covid-19. 15% increase in August. 😞 10/12/2020. EVERYONE IN EUROPE SHOULD PANIC! Or, not. Sorry, was getting in touch with my inner mainstream news reporter. Second wave deaths are unimpressive and negligible. 3 more European charts below.
Dr. Fauci is a beloved “expurt”, good citizens. And Fauci knows that we did it all wrong and Europe got it right! 🙄Florida was opened up 14 days ago. Guess the virus is tired because cases are flat. No spike. 10/10/2020The NY Times provides this helpful chart showing the areas with the highest number of daily cases/100k in the past two weeks You know what’s fun about the list? 19 OF THE 20 AREAS HAVE A MASK MANDATE 10/10/2020😔 10/10/2020The “cautionary tale” of Sweden. 10/10/2020So, cautionary… 10/10/2020Wear your mask, good citizens! Chart of counties that include and surround Nashville, TN. notice what happens after the mask mandates? No, really, masks work!
Great post! This is precisely the information that’s, in the best, in the shadows of the national news. If your info were presented nationally in a neutral, factual manner, what would some politicians have?
