#1 We had "Scientists against atomic weapons", "Scientists for AGW". Now we have "Scientists against Covid countermeasures". Sturgeon's Law in action.

#2 We have Grom the Herd Immunity denier.

Lockdown is NOT a COVID countermeasure as it doesn't do anything, just look at figures for flu. They're unchanged.

The Zero risk section of the population (those vast majority far more at risk from lockdown than covid) should be free from the group punishment as then the economy can recover.

#3 We have Grom the Herd Immunity denier.

Is this like a flat Earth denier?

#5 No it's like a reality denier...

Locking everyone up rocking back and forward waiting for the vaccine to cure all that won't turn up.

Lock down is already set to kill more than COVID, how many more are you going to slaughter with the ludicrous denial of herd immunity (which is the basis for vaccination too BTW)?

#6 St. Fauci is now whining about how Orange Man is being mean to him. I don't see how this ~~existential threat to the entire human race~~ over-hyped virus will be solved by an invertebrate creature, let alone the communist bought and paid for puppet at the WHO...

#7 About 35,000 people die in car accidents in the US each year - should we all ride around in bumper cars instead? Asking for a friend.

#8 ...it appears the overall death count in New Mexico hasn't changed in a year. It's just that with the lock down, the fewer deaths on the roads and highways with cars and trucks was covered by the Covid stats. So extrapolating the data, I'm waiting for the governor to keep the lock down in place to save people from traffic fatalities.
