Fauci: Public health officials lied about masks

Interesting, now Fauci is admitting that that public health officials lied about the effectiveness of masks to preserve supplies for first responders. Of course anyone with any common sense knew they were lying about it earlier this year. Of course, anyone with any common sense knew they were lying about it earlier this year.

TheHill: “[Fauci] also acknowledged that masks were initially not recommended to the general public so that first responders wouldn’t feel the strain of a shortage of PPE. [Fauci] explained that public health experts “were concerned the public health
community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply.”

The CDC, WHO, and “officials” have been lying from the start.  It is just nice (well, maybe not nice, but validating) to hear Fauci say what everyone with above a room temp IQ knew when the surgeon general and all the health officials were saying (among other things), “masks aren’t effective” and then 6-8 weeks later say they are.  It wasn’t a question of new data, it was a question of self-serving lying by public officials which undoubtedly cost people their lives.

So, in short, “Fauci lied, people died.”

One wonders how much they were they also lying about in the Coronavirus Task Force meetings to the VP, President etc?

Who orchestrated this lie? Will there be hearings?

Why did the CDC and others lie about it? Why politicize it by lying?

Raising awareness vs doing something

How about all these people trying to “raise awareness” actually DO something instead of “advocating” for someone else to do something?   Does anyone really think that there are more than 50 people in the USA who are not “aware” and need to have their “awareness raised”?  Stop “advocating” and do something positive yourself.  Go build a house for people with Habit for Humanity.  Go get a job and work and then donate the proceeds to the people who need it.  Go plant a garden (Mike Bloomberg says it is easy) and donate the food you grow to people who need it.  Go buy a gun and protect people. Go help clean up stores and property damaged by riots.  Go back to school, get an MD and help people in need with their medical needs.  Get a JD and represent these people in court.  Go to the police academy and become an officer so you can do it right. Get an accounting degree, engineering or something like that and use it to help. People need to get off their behinds and out from behind the keyboard, off instagram, Facebook, twitter etc, and actually do something instead of sitting around demanding someone else do something. 

Stop accepting that more horrendous incidents like “George Floyd” will happen, get out from behind the keyboard and do something. Stop senseless death like that by taking action, accepting the challenge and fixing things instead of expecting “someone else” to do so.

Silence is violence. Speech is violence

You are hearing a lot about “Silence is violence” from the left.  Likewise, you hear from some on the same people for years that “speech is violence.”

What is actually left?  You can’t speak and you can’t remain quiet.  This is the goal: to be able to attack anyone at any time for anything that might expose their attempts to destroy freedom.

Speech is speech and if you don’t like it, change the channel.  Only in a totalitarian society is silencing people encouraged.  Whether it be fascist, socialist, communist or some other authoritarian/totalitarian society, it is evil and immoral to silence people.

Fauci – inconvenient from a societal standpoint, from an economic standpoint

If you look at our history, we’ve been through some terrible ordeals. This is tough. People are suffering. People are dying. It’s inconvenient from a societal standpoint, from an economic standpoint to go through this, but this is going to be the answer to our problems.

April 1, 2020

So economic devastation, food insecurity and depression is merely “inconvenient”.

Got it.

Democrat party operative advocates politicizing covid

As he did with the 2008 crisis, former Democrat Congressman and Obama Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel says: “Let’s make sure this crisis doesn’t go to waste”:

“Never allow a good crisis go to waste. It’s an opportunity to do the things you once thought were impossible.”

… All of this is to say, again, that Washington needs to make sure this crisis doesn’t go to waste. 

( https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/25/lets-make-sure-this-crisis-doesnt-go-waste/ )

Later this year and next year, one must remember that again, Democrat Party operatives are advocating the politicization of the coronavirus “to do the things you once thought were impossible.”

Instead of advocating working together, the Democrat Party views this as a political opportunity. As a way to limit freedom and increase government control.

Later when you hear the charge that the Republican party was the one who politicized the virus and science remember that the WaPo, the oligarch who owns the Washington Post, Democrat operatives, Fauci, and the rest of the Washington insiders advocated to ignore the science and politicize the virus. No one in official Washington has condemned the politicization of science nor stated that we should work together. Instead, they too view this is an opportunity, not something to be fixed.

Beware the people trying to add more to government spending that is related to the virus, they are looters, just on a larger scale than those looting stores.

WHO, CDC, State emergency managers, hospital doctors and managers are no experts

I find it funny (in a dark way) that the same idiots at the WHO and CDC who were telling people in January that it wasn’t spreading person to person, who were urging the people of NYC in Feb and early/mid March to go out and mingle, urging Mardi Gras fun, urging Spring Break fun, urging people to not be racist by avoiding going out in early March, and who were telling us in February and March that masks and face coverings wouldn’t help are now are about to change the guidelines to tell everyone to wear them.  And that these are the same group of people who are running the CDC and WHO, and in charge of hospitals and hospital systems around the world and around the country, who are in charge of emergency management in every state, (a) weren’t smart enough to replenish supplies at all during 11 years after the H1N1 pandemic, (b) were too stupid to think that they might need to have extra masks, respirators and ventilators on hand when there were plenty of people out there who spent $20 on a box of N95, or N100 respirators at any point in the last 5 years.  These same “experts” who are now guiding everyone today and yet were too moronic to be able to think strategically for 4+ decades. 

The NY Times and it’s ilk, like Joe Biden, were also calling Trump racist and xenophobic for the late January 2020 travel ban.

Slowing the spread, Flattening the curve, not stopping the spread of covid-19/coronavirus

Today’s announcement about the 15 days to slow the spread is important. Note that this is NOT about stopping the spread. That ship sailed at the end of December 2019 or early January 2020 once it escaped (or was allowed to escape) from China.

Everyone (or some large percentage of a population) is going to get this at some point until there is herd immunity (60-70% of the population as a start) or a vaccine. The goal is to stop a short-term spike, not stop people from getting it.

Of course the same people from the WHO back in January who were saying it wasn’t being transmitted person-to-person are now advising the US government. The same people from NIH/CDC who were saying back in February that it didn’t pose a significant risk to the US population are advising them too. Ditto the same people saying masks don’t help, UNLESS you are a first responder.

If the closures were required in March [edit: and now April], what exactly will have changed by May, June or even September – no vaccine, no herd immunity, no double blind studies showing the efficacy of a treatment etc.   Perhaps widespread fast and accurate testing will allow people out, but so far the testing accuracy has been lacking.

Continuing it longer than 15 or 30 days will make no difference long term unless it continues for 12-24 months without testing and then quarantining people who test positive . Shutting everything down for 1 or 2 years is tantamount to suicide for the country and the world.

Some huge portion of the world population will get it eventually unless there is a vaccine. It is just a question of when.
