The propaganda also doesn’t say if those hospitalized have been poked or not.

But even if they fail at protecting us from Eris, think of the other good they will do (NOT).

I am reminded of the observation former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy made when the original mask mandates came out and he had to wear a mask just to go into his bank--he'd convicted people back in the day for doing what had become mandatory.

But masks only were dehydrating and my coughing just came back to me. Suffocating. The masks did show how much I/we touch our face throughout the day and to be more aware of washing my hands.

It's an interesting outlier but one of the RCTs on universal masking developed evidence which suggested (although not conclusive) that face masks could actually reduce the efficacy of hand hygiene.

Essentially, it is possible that wearing a face mask means you have to wash your hands even more. That's not proven--the evidence is not even exactly clear--the research to date does present that as a possibility.

Before all these rules and so called science, if you feel unwell and are coughing a lot or lots of green stuff coming out of your nose, you should stay home or don’t visit or be near immunocompromised people. Period. Like don’t go visit the nursing home or hospital if you are “under the weather”. “Give people space” is a figurative term but if you are not feeling well, then this means physically too.

Aha! Common sense!

Don't you know that's a thoughtcrime these days? Don't you realize that common sense leads to logic and practicality? Why, if left unchecked, it could undermine the fascist Deep State efforts to control your every move. Such reckless behavior by you is (or very likely soon will be) a threat to national security. Tsk tsk tsk.....

Oh come now....surely you aren't suggesting that the fascists controlling Dementia Joe would use a fictional public health "crisis" as a means for extending authoritarian control over the American people?

Why, next you'll be telling me that the lunatic lockdowns and Dementia Joe's attempt at forcing the toxic and deadly mRNA "vaccines" (which are nothing of the sort) into the veins of every American by an illegal OSHA power grab were also exercises in authoritarianism that failed but only just barely. Or that the regime's "Winter of Death" rhetoric against the "unvaccinated" was eerily reminiscent of Nazi rhetoric during the Third Reich.

Surely you aren't going to stoop so low as to inject facts, evidence, and the historical record into the discussion....how would the narrative ever survive?

(Warning, don't slip on the dripping sarcasm)
