Covid-19

You can't explain away excess deaths.

You can't explain away excess deaths.

You can’t explain away what you can’t explain in the first place.

Here's a comprehensive article chronicling the buffoonery of our government COVID anti-science response, from the negligible effects on children to asymptomatic spread, to the inefficacy of masks. Enjoy.
Masking: A Careful Review of the Evidence – AIER

This is an interesting example of the lemming effect.

The narrative gets repeated so many times, by those claiming they are just following the science to justify the power play, when the 'science' was not only never there, but, in some ways, contradictory.

The 'negative' affects: education, depression, suicides, child abuse, neglect, not to mention the destruction of middle and lower class jobs, lives and families are not insignificant.

And the trillions of dollars...

We keep getting pounded with the number of deaths - which is certainly not insignificant either - but certainly seems dubious at best. The lemmings just take for granted that the number is gospel and jump off the narrative cliff.

All the while claiming, "It's science".

Who's science is it anyway?

In confined spaces with limited distancing (grocery stores, etc.) you should continue to wear the mask.
It will help your friend, as despite being vaccinated, you can still carry the virus (especially in nasal passages).

Your friend will thank you.

I realize that you are simply repeating this information from Fauci. However, it's complete nonsense and just more fearmongering. If it were true, then you are advocating for masks indefinitely. If the danger of the virus being carried in nasal passages was true, then there are probably hundreds, if not thousands of viruses being stored in our nasal passages right now, just waiting to be passed on to another unsuspecting human. The real question is how did civilization manage to survive thru the millennia without masks?

Masking: A Careful Review of the Evidence – AIER

AIER is a great website. Here's another article just published yesterday. Two quotes from the article:

“Graphene is a strong, very thin material that is used in fabrication, but it can be harmful to lungs when inhaled and can cause long-term health problems.” We argue that there is a risk of potential ‘future’ inflammatory/fibrotic lung diseases because we are inhaling these materials in the masks now for over one year with more duration to come and no end in sight...... “Health Canada has issued a warning about blue and gray disposable face masks, which contain an asbestos-like substance associated with “early pulmonary toxicity.” The warning is specific to potentially toxic masks distributed within schools and daycares across Quebec. Health Canada (and full praise to them)….“discovered during a preliminary risk assessment that the masks contain microscopic graphene particles that, when inhaled, could cause severe lung damage.”

"There are also reports of toxic mold, fungi, and bacteria that can pose a significant threat to the immune system by potentially weakening it. Of particular concern to us is the recent report of breathing in synthetic fibers in the face masks. This is of serious concern to us. "Loose particulate was seen on each type of mask. Also, tight and loose fibers were seen on each type of mask. If every foreign particle and every fiber in every facemask is always secure and not detachable by airflow, then there should be no risk of inhalation of such particles and fibers. However, if even a small portion of mask fibers is detachable by inspiratory airflow, or if there is debris in mask manufacture or packaging or handling, then there is the possibility of not only entry of foreign material to the airways, but also entry to deep lung tissue, and potential pathological consequences of foreign bodies in the lungs."

And as you might expect, masks are becoming a major environmental disaster as well:

Are you anti-masking guys getting the vaccine?

[MADXSTER]

Got my 1st shot two days ago. But I hold no ill will against those who wish not to get the vaccine. I believe that people can and are aloud to make their own decisions without getting harassed.

Got my first shot, can’t wait for my second, and can’t wait until enough people get it, so that we can return to normal life.

Nor do I. Do find it somewhat curious though. The virus does spread, and one way to keep from dying seems to be to get the vaccine.
I don't think there have been any reports yet on a vaccinated person dying. If so, I'm guessing very small number.

I don’t think anyone should be harassed but there very well may be aspects of society in which those who choose not to get vaccinated can’t participate. Certain jobs, especially medical ones will most likely start to require it (I have seen some already), schools probably will add it eventually (when kids under 16 start to be allowed to get it) to their list of required vaccinations.

I don’t want to hear those people bitch later on if they can’t do something bc they are not vaccinated.
