Covid, the "lockdowns" etc.

"I had followed very closely the literature on community masking prior to the pandemic in March, and when Fauci went on 60 Minutes the first time and said we don't know for sure you should wear a mask...I think that reflected what the consensus was in early March, which was the entire preexisting body of evidence was equivocal or negative about community masking, and that's why the WHO and CDC didn't recommend it initially.

There have been RCT studies in the past that clearly showed that, except for in a clinical environment when work by people trained in their use as PPE, masks were statistically insignificant in preventing spread of contagions.

I assumed that was part of what Dr. Prasad was referring to as " literature on community masking prior to the pandemic in March".

Still waiting for the Maskqubators to explain what SCIENCE!(tm) occurred from March to May 2020 that was the technical basis for the mask mandates.

Babies are being taken from their parents and put behind bars in Shanghai.

I mean that literally. As part of the Chinese Communist Party's insane zero covid policy, they're separating covid-positive children from their parents, even if when the parents are covid-positive as well, putting multiple babies and toddlers in cribs with giant iron bars, and there are viral videos of the kids screaming their heads off.

Goo goo gah gah gulag!

I expect Justin Trudeau is taking notes.

The Chinese Communist Party is now telling couples living in Shanghai to not sleep in the same bed, eat together, or hug each other. And they're also sending around drones warning people that opening the window and singing can spread covid. Oh, and South Korean clothes. Those cause covid, too.

This is what happens when an authoritarian regime's policies fail but they can't admit they're wrong.

Wonder how long it will take before it happens in Canada or the US.

They can try. There's an awful lot of shotguns, and drones make big targets.

"...as far as I can tell, they (FDA) have no standards anymore. They're approving 4th (covid vaccine) doses based on what Israel has written in crayon on a napkin. I mean, that's really the level of evidence here. Some observational garbage study from Israel."

   Canada possibly.   The USA?   Well....I keep hearing about all the rabid anti government types that are as extreme as the actual Nazis in the Ukraine that roam the wild and remote places in the USA, so I think trying to turn up the water that fast might light a fire, so unlikely to be done.  Now I think the Urbanites in the USA will do it if Fauci tells them to.  They do not seem too willing to buck authority as long as someone can convince them they are "good people" for doing as they are told.

Trudeau & many politicians/talking heads around the world get wet when they see how the CCP treats the Chinesse people.

I'm sure there's a couple people here with huge erections over the way things are playing out in Shanghai.

Link for that? Not doubting you for a moment on this one. I am asking because I have a friend who has been preaching Covid Zero for two years now, I've always disagreed with her, and would appreciate sending her a link to that.

They were widely reported by sites like the Times and the NYT (you could search for their articles, but they don't add a lot new), but the videos have become harder to find. The Insider article includes one.
