The many government contradictions, flip-flops, and lies with regard to COVID-19
FALSE CLAIM OF STUDIES REGARDING
OUTDOOR DINING VIRUS SPREAD
December 9, 2020 -- Los Angeles bureaucrats caught lying about outdoor dining studies: Bureaucrats such as LA County Supervisor Shiela Kuehl claimed to have 6 studies showing outdoor dining risk. But, when forced to provide such studies in court, the Los Angeles County Health Department was unable to produce any such studies.
“The decision to include among other sectors [in lockdown], outdoor dining, and limiting that, really has to do with the goal of trying to keep people at home -- not a comment on the relative safety of outdoor dining” -- California Health and Human Services Agency Secretary Mark Ghaly, while under oath in court.
ONCE AGAIN, CONFLATING OUTDOOR RECREATION WITH INDOOR COVID SPREAD
March 22, 2020 - Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti shuts down beach parking lots in order to reduce gatherings at beaches.
April 30, 2020 - California Governor Gavin Newsom shuts down beaches in Orange County.
April 27, 2021 - CDC announces that 'less than 10%' of COVID transmission occurs outdoors.
May 11, 2021 - It is discovered that the CDC was able to fudge the numbers by looking largely at COVID spread at 'outdoor' construction sites in Singapore -- except that these supposed 'outdoor' transmissions could have also essentially occurred indoors! Some of the construction sites had already built their concrete shells -- AKA indoor spread. Dr. Muge Cevik, a top infectious disease doctor at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, believes the CDC's claim of 10% risk of outdoor transmission to be hugely exaggerated. Instead, he estimates the risk to be at less than 1 percent.
You don't have to be a forensic accountant to pick out the blatant fudging of the numbers. In two studies that the CDC used as evidence of outdoor transmission, faulty Singapore construction site data represented all of the supposed 'outdoor transmissions'.
5/11/2021 - There is not one single documented case of COVID transmission from casual outdoor interaction, so says even the radical left-wing NY Times.
JUST 14 DAYS OF LOCKDOWNS
March 15, 2020 -- Just 14 days of shutdown: Anthony Fauci called for 14 days to stem the flow of the virus. In many states, 14 days has turned into close to a year of shut down bars, indoor dining, gyms, restrictions on outdoor dining, etc. Fauci is now saying that we will have to wait until 2022 for a "degree of normality that will approximate the kind of normality we've been used to"!
June 15, 2020 - 1 year and 3 months later, California Governor Gavin Newsom finally allow bars, restaurants and gyms to partially reopen.
AT LEAST UNTIL MARCH 2021 AND SEPTEMBER 2021
BEFORE WE HAVE A VACCINE
March 3, 2020 -- “It will take at least a year to a year in a half to have a vaccine we can use" - Anthony Fauci
December 14, 2020 -- Vaccine shots begin being administered.
SCHOOLS MUST CLOSE... NO THEY SHOULDN'T
February 23, 2020 – Fauci states that “Children have very low rate of infection.”
April 27, 2020 -- All California schools were closed.
3/17/2020 - "I would plan and assume that it’s unlikely that many of these schools, few, if any, will open up before the summer break.” -- Gavin Newsom
11/29/2020 -- Fauci essentially admits that shutting down schools was unnecessary: "If you look at the data, the spread among children and from children is not really very big at all, not like one would have suspected. So let’s try to get the kids back" -- Anthony Fauci
February 2021 -- Schools are still shut down, with no plans to reopen.
Children don't need to wear masks... Yes, they do... No, they don't... Yes, they do... then The Science™ changed
7/24/2021 - Children need to wear masks
THE VIRUS DID NOT COME FROM A WUHAN LAB... IT INDEED MAY HAVE
When Trump said that the virus came from a Wuhan lab, the US intel community (and media) called Trump crazy.
3/3/2020 - "What we're going through right now is a direct result of [China's wet markets]." -- Anthony Fauci
3/17/2020 - According to a study by highly qualified evolutionary virologists, the DNA sequence of the virus is "totally consistent with a jump of a species from an animal to a human." -- Anthony Fauci
Spring 2020 - Behind the scenes, Fauci tells a group of health leaders in Europe that COVID-19 could have been a potential lab leak, and that the virus has unusual features that potentially look engineered.
May 2020 - Though not reported until June 2021, a US government lab found it plausible that the virus came from a Wuhan lab.
5/11/2021 - The possibility that the virus was created in a lab "certainly exists" -- Anthony Fauci
"I am not convinced [that the virus developed naturally]" -- Anthony Fauci
4/21/2023 - Genome sequencing almost certainly proves COVID was deliberately made in a lab.
6/3/2024 - The NY Times finally admits the virus probably started in a lab.
LOCKDOWNS WORK!... YET THEY NEVER DID
June 2021 - MIT researcher finds lockdowns do not lower deaths -- only higher unemployment.
December 2, 2020 - Masks have zero effect in the United States, according to study conducted by the University of Louisville.
February 2022 - Johns Hopkins University finds lockdowns in the US and Europe only reduced COVID deaths by statistically insignificant 0.2%.
March 2022 - The far-left-wing NY Times finally admits that lockdowns did not make a major difference in COVID case rates.
MASKS DON'T HELP... THEN THEY DO... YET THEY DON'T
March 8, 2020 -- According to Anthony Fauci on 60 minutes, "When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And often there are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with their mask and they keep touching their face."
Fauci's original statement makes sense because 'the science' of aerosol particle (that we breath out) size has never changed! Aerosol particles (< 2.5 μm) are too fine to be blocked by masks, and the minimum-infective-dose is smaller than one aerosol particle. Furthermore, it is common sense that any air that is not blocked, will simply escape out the sides of a mask. See video demonstration.
February 29, 2020 -- “Seriously people – STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing the general public from catching Coronavirus” -- Tweet by Dr. Jerome Adams, Surgeon General
April 3, 2020 -- Fauci then changed his position on masks, saying "We now know from recent studies that a significant portion of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms (‘asymptomatic’) and that even those who eventually develop symptoms (‘pre-symptomatic’) can transmit the virus to others before showing symptoms." The CDC further stated that "In light of this new evidence, CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain."
May 21, 2020 -- The New England Journal of Medicine contradicts the CDC: “We know that wearing a mask outside of health care facilities offers little, if any protection from infection” - New England Journal of Medicine.
June 8, 2020 -- Tho WHO contradicts the CDC: Then, over 2 months later, the CDC's claim of asymptomatic transmission was refuted by the World Health Organization. "It still appears to be rare that an asymptomatic individual actually transmits onward. " and later "But, from the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic individual actually transmits onward to a secondary individual.”
The next day, after being hounded by mask tyrants, the WHO attempted to backtrack their statement, but actually didn't.
Oct 18, 2020 -- "Meta analysis studies show that contrary to what we thought, masks really do work in preventing infection" -- Anthony Fauci, follow up 60 minutes interview.
November 10, 2020 -- The CDC contradicts its own mask recommendations: According to the CDC, "To our knowledge, only 1 randomized controlled trial has been conducted to examine the efficacy of cloth masks in healthcare settings, and the results do not favor use of cloth masks." The CDC also writes of a 2015 study about cloth masks, that “This finding suggest that risk for infection was higher for those wearing cloth masks.”
March 5, 2021 -- The CDC debunks itself: A new CDC study, albeit a flawed one, finds that masks provide negligible benefits of only 1.9% fewer deaths, yet continues to tell people to wear masks.
MODELS PREDICT MASSIVE DEATHS!... NOT SO MUCH
Models from Cambridge University and Public Health England predicted 4,000 deaths per day by December 2020, and were used to push for lockdowns.
Deaths in England only peaked at 1,076 on April 9, 2020.
Keep wearing masks and social distancing
AFTER being fully vaccinated
The CDC issued their "guidance" for people who have been FULLY VACCINATED. That advice was to avoid travel and to continue wearing wearing masks and social distancing while in public. You can't make this stufff up. It sounds like a Babylon Bee headline, but it's not.
Inflated death toll stats is a conspiracy theory... Then it was true! 30 percent inflated!
Keep up the hysteria, lockdowns, and other draconian mandates! Anthony Fauci warned that baseless “conspiracy theories” were swirling around that America’s official death toll from COVID-19 was being overstated. He told lawmakers that the overall toll was actually 'almost certainly' an undercount. Famous last words!
Fast forward to July 2023. The far-left-wing NY Times reported "The official number is probably an exaggeration because it includes some people who had the virus when they died even though it was not the underlying cause of death. Other C.D.C. data suggests that almost one-third of official recent COVID deaths have fallen into this category. A study published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases came to similar conclusions."
PANDEMIC OF THE UNVACCINATED VACCINATED!
Vaccines waning: 60% of new COVID cases in Germany (in ages 18-59) are amongst the vaccinated.
Vaccines waning: UK study finds vaccinated adults under 60 are dying at twice the rate of unvaccinated.
Vaccinated cannot get or spread COVID.
Get vaccinated and we will end the pandemic, and return to normalcy
The virus has not gone away, and will keep hanging around just like the flu. Blue states and cities continue to require masks. Oregon is trying to make indoor mask mandates permanent, all despite 151 vaccine doses given per 100 people. The WHO says fully vaccinated should wear masks and socially distance.
Rochelle Walensky says that if you're vaccinated, you can't spread COVID to others. Not only was this not true, but she was lying.
The new CDC director, Mandy Cohen also falsely claimed in June 2021 while she was head of North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, that the COVID shots prevented recipients from getting or transmitting COVID-19, according to “definitive” CDC data.
The vaccines don't work, then they do
5/12/2021 - If you are vaccinated, you must continue to wear a mask and social distance" -- CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky
5/14/2021 - If you are vaccinated, you can stop wearing masks, social distancing, etc. -- CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky
5/17/2021 - California continues to require masks unti 6/15/2021.
Immunity includes natural immunity, then it doesn't
Immunity has always been defined as those who have been vaccinated AND those who have previously been infected and thus have natural immunity. In the government's push to vaccinate everyone, suddenly those with natural COVID immunity were no longer included. The World Health Organization changed the definition of herd immunity, clearly to push for more people to get vaccinated.
Hydroxycholoroquine is fish bowl cleaner that doesn't work... but it does
March 2020 - The FDA suppressed outpatient usage of hydroxychloroquine, except in hospitalizations and clinical trials, thus blocking outpatient usage. The FDA fraudulently based this warning on heart rythum problems with patients who were already suffering from pneumonia in the hospital (completely different situation).
8 early treatment randomized control trials show 45% improvement. 14 early treatment trials show 74% less death.
6/2/2021 - Survival rate of ventilated COVID patients increased 200% when given Hydroxychloroquine + Azithromycin.
Hydroxychloroquine is very safe and has been FDA approved for 65 years, and used by hundreds of millions of people. In the middle of a pandemic with no vaccine or treatment, you experiment with medications that are safe -- not suppress them.
Dr. Havey Risch explained in detail how the notion that Hydroxychloroquine is dangerous and doesn't work is a fraud perpetrated by the FDA.
Ivermectin is a horse dewormer
Ivermectin is one of the safest medicines out there, and has beed FDA approved for humans for years. Ivermectin has been officially adopted for early treatment of COVID in all or part of 22 countries (39 including non-government medical organizations).
33 randomized control trials show 63% improvement for early treatment. 41 studies show 55% lower mortality.
Children should get vaccinated
WHO: No they shouldn't
The CDC pushes for children to get vaccinated.
6/21/2021 - The World Health Organization says "There is not yet enough evidence on the use of vaccines against COVID-19 in children to make recommendations for children to be vaccinated against COVID-19."
Beware of the Delta variant!
In reality the Delta variant has a 0.1% case fatality rate (CFR) out of 31,132 Delta sequence infections confirmed by investigators. That is the same rate as the flu and is much lower than the CFR for the original strain or any of the other variants.
A new public England study of delta variant shows 44 deaths out of 53,822 (.08%) in unvaccinated group.
Beware of the Omnicron variant!
In reality, Omicron is far milder than previous strains. No severe cases have been identified.
It's too early to know if Omnicron is less deadly... WRONG!
In reality, data out of African (where Omicron originated) was already showing Omicron to be 90% less deadly.
Everyone should get booster shots... WHO: Not so fast.
Even the WHO says that there is no evidence that booster shots offer greater protection to the healthy.
The PCR test works.... Not so much
7/21/2021 - The CDC announced that the PCR test cannot differentiate Covid-19 and influenza. This begs the question, how much have COVID cases and deaths been overstated?
Natural immunity is no good... It's superior
As it turns out, if you previously got COVID, you don't need to get vaccinated. Natural immunity gave you better protection against the Delta variant.
BE VERY AFRAID!
Deaths and ICU Admissions > Hospitalizations > Cases are on the rise!
File this lie under 'constantly moving the goal posts'. First, it was deaths and ICU admissions that were cause to be afraid. Then, Omicron became 91% less deadly. Some people got scared and so they went to the hospital, but never reached the ICU. Then, the hysteria ran its course. People weren't even going to the hospital for COVID alone. And so, it became talk about cases, cases, cases.
Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer cited 'increasing cases' as cause to bring back mask mandates in late July 2022. In reality, there had been NO changes in the transmission levels of COVID-19. Dr. Brad Spellberg also said they are seeing thousands of people with Covid, “but it is mild, and they go home.” He said of the patients who are admitted to the hospital, “90% of the time it is NOT due to Covid [alone]. Only 10% of our Covid-positive admissions are due to Covid [alone].” He also said that "virtually none of them go to the ICU" and they haven't seen a severe COVID case since February 2022 (5 months earlier).
The vaccines don't effect menstrual cycles... then they do.
At first they told us that there was nothing to see here. Move along. But when chorus on the streets become too loud, they changed their tune. Menstrual changes after COVID vaccines may be more common.
Breakthrough cases are rare... because we changed the definition
In order to puff up the effectiveness of the vaccines, on Feb. 2, 2021, the DCD quietly changed the definition of 'breakthrough cases' to only include cases detected at least 14 days after a primary vaccination series. Prior to this it was at least 7 days after. So, by doing this, you have less breakthrough cases. The vaccines appear to be working better.
