Public Health Covid Rules Were Nothing But Voodoo

Public Health Covid Rules Were Nothing But Voodoo

We tried to tell you. Those of us with common sense, that is.

Back in 2020, when we were being accused of wanting to kill grandma because we knew the “rules” coming from our public health officials were - for lack of a better term - unconstitutional bullshit we were voices in the wilderness.

Everywhere we looked, previously smart people were running around with silly bandanas on their faces - if they were crawling out from under their beds at all. They were acting like you had leprosy if you stood closer to them than six feet and they were begging the government to stomp on even more civil rights.

Their wishes came true. Most Americans complied with insane rules like wearing masks into restaurants, taking them off to eat, putting them on to walk to the restroom and taking them off when seated again.

Those of us who pointed out that it was as if the entire country was part of a silly SNL skit were vilified.

“You’re not doctors,” they chorused.

Turns out we were right. One by one, the lies that were told to the American people are unmasked. 

Here’s the latest: 

According to The New York Post, Anthony Fauci admitted to a congressional committee this week that the 6-foot social distancing rule was something he basically pulled out of his hind quarters.

Fauci, 83, revealed to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that the “six feet apart” recommendation championed by him and other US public health officials was “likely not based on scientific data,” according to Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohis), who is also a physician.

Geezus.

This would be amusing if it wasn’t four years late and hadn’t been the basis for keeping schools closed in some places for up to two years.

In Virginia in the summer of 2020, the worst governor in history - Ralph Northam - set parameters for school reopening based on the rule pulled from Fauci’s nether regions that meant schools HAD to remain closed. 

Oh, I wrote about it. Predictably, I was accused of “not taking covid seriously”.

Everyone capable of simple math realized that Northam’s rules for social distancing - six feet - meant that there was no way a full complement of children could return to their classrooms this fall. No room could hold more than a handful of students.

That would mean more virtual learning. A miserable failure.

And the bus requirements? One child in every other row meant that about 13 kids could ride a bus built to hold 70. Perfect. Bet the climate changers would love seeing a stream of belching cars arrive at schools each morning and afternoon as parents delivered children who couldn’t fit on the empty buses.

Heads should roll for what these charlatans did to children. And everyone else.

Social distancing was the reason people were forced to watch on Zoom as their loved ones died in hospital rooms and nursing homes. It was the reason gatherings were limited to small numbers of people. It was the reason some parents left sick kids isolated and alone in their rooms.

The learning loss that’s directly attributable to the CDC’s 6-foot voodoo is catastrophic. Yet the fools who promulgated this nonsense constantly whimper and fall back on the “no one really knew just how bad covid was” trope.

Nonsense. 

Even some of us with liberal arts degrees from second-rate colleges quickly figured out that what was happening across the country was an unconstitutional power grab. It was successful because fear and exaggeration about the dangers of covid were the coin of the realm.

There needs to be a reckoning for the smug, malevolent “scientists” that closed schools, ruined businesses, put the welfare state on steroids and bullied Americans into taking part in a nationwide drug trial by telling them lie after lie about the vaccine.

They want us to forgive and forget. To move on.

That’s a hard no.

 There’s only one was to make sure nothing like this ever happens again: Punish the wrongdoers. 

Fauci first.
