#1 Lockdown fanatics kill far more than the virus.

#2 I have "real problems" with Dr. Fauci. In the beginning of this mess he discouraging the wearing of masks by the general public since he knew there would be a severe shortage of masks at that time. Dishonest! He was in a prime position to anticipate that problem -- since pandemics have been predicted for many years now -- by advocating a massive increase in warehoused PPE by the federal govt. That never happened because the people like Fauci did nothing.
In addition he discouraged using HCQ at a time when little was known about it. His position got massive media coverage months ago. The next day during a live interview with a talk show host, Fauci admitted that if he would use HCQ to prevent a severe case of COVID-19 since at the time doctors had nothing else to offer. This Fauci contraction got zero coverage by the media, and has apparently been disappeared.

#3 Coronavirus: ‘Futile and immoral’ to seek herd immunity, says Sweden’s chief epidemiologist

#4 Viruses are very small. If you can smell odors (which you can through most masks) — like tobacco smoke, perfume, etc., the COVID-19 virus can pass through that mask.

You cannot stop or a eliminate the COVID-19 virus with quarantine-type practices and orders. A virus with such high viral loads (titers), recalcitrant environmental persistence, and transmissibility factors can’t be stopped with public health and welfare environmental management. IMO, inevitably ALL of the USA population will contract COVID-19 at some point (however this is less and less of a concern, since the ORF8 is deleting from viral strains — https://doi.org/10.1016/j.meegid.2020.104525).

The only real choice ever was to slow the curve enough so as to buy the time needed to stand up resources.

To buy the time necessary to stand up resources, the FDA, CDC, NIH, etc., and their dead-enders (like “the Fauch”) served a very critical and useful purpose that has now been outlived.

#5 Thankfully, the COVID-19 virus is non-lethal to the great majority of otherwise healthy people infected. Exceptions to this general rule would be presence of ORF8 (immune evasive) COVID-19 viral strains, or co-infections with influenza. For the general populace, the greater of these two concerns will be influenza--since no research has been done about how an influenza vaccine program is unlikely to be sufficiently protective under the circumstances, and that any influenza vaccine will likely also promote the same kind of ACE2 proliferation that makes a co-infection with the COVID-19 virus so dangerous.

It would be ironic, wouldn’t it, to have a nationwide influenza vaccination program create the very ACE2 proliferation conditions the vaccination program is supposed to prevent (all in the name of COVID-19 and “save the children“—TM)?

#6 Fauci said Biden’s campaign "is taking it seriously from a public health perspective." Trump is "looking at it from a different perspective." the economy and reopening the country."

I don't disagree with either statement, and they are not mutually exclusive. Obviously, some people like Trump's perspective.

#7 2020 has been a real bad year for "experts" like Fauxi.

Just another example of a power tripping deep-state slug.

#8 To covidians, the only thing that matters is putting whatever panic move is in vogue this week ahead of every other consideration.

#10 I find it interesting that the net effect of COVID and the COVID control measures is to reduce the net monthly deaths in the US by about 2000.

#11 Trump campaign stops have seen MASSIVE crowds since he recovered from Covid and returned to Campaigning.

So why aren't they super-spreader events? I've only seen one claim of such from a media that would love to make such claims. Even the lefty media knows it won't fly without charts showing the spikes and those haven't happened in any correlation to Trump events.

#12 Officials told governors on a call Friday that they hoped to begin distributing a vaccine by the end of the year, giving some specific guidance on how states would receive their first doses. Fauci focused on the rise in cases, according to people familiar with the call...

Of course he did. His fifteen minutes of fame are coming to an end.

Fauxi is proving once again the Democrat Party is the party of fear, failure, doom, gloom and pessimism. The real "losers and suckers" are Democrats.

The purpose of the Chinese bio-weapon and the mass media fear campaign that accompanied it was to shut down America's economy and to prevent mass rallies that help Trump win election. It plays right into the hands of leftist control freaks.

But Republicans are the party of optimism, courage and success. They will not be cowed. They will go back to work and continue to attend Trump rallies so they win.

#13 RJ, some of the media called ACB's swearing in a super-spreader event. We never got the tsunami of deaths that Sturgis was supposed to cause either.

#15 Seven different 'disease forms' identified in mild COVID-19
Now, it is a matter of implementing these findings and using them for the development of highly-effective COVID-19 vaccines."

Rather more obvious is to get everyone under 50 one of these mild strains and skip the cost and risks of a vaccine totally.

#19 “Rather more obvious is to get everyone under 50 one of these mild strains and skip the cost and risks of a vaccine totally.”

It looks like that is exactly the kind of COVID-19 infection released especially in China, but also generally in other Asian countries. The USA appears to have been gifted with much more lethal varieties, including a high number of ORF8 strains.
