Um, no, but you continue with your little campaign here, it sure seems to be important to you even if outside of actual reality. Have fun!
The most
dangerous mistake you can make at the start of a search for the truth, especially in a situation that is unprecedented, is to buy into a
false premise, which then creates a defective prism through which all other evidence is then perceived. The poisonous impact of this development can then be greatly exaggerated once such
mistaken conclusions create enormous damage, and
those who came to such flawed assumptions are therefore deeply invested in not having been wrong.
However,
that narrative has been damaged by the developments of this winter. Since all of the United States, and much of the western world,
regardless of their level of lockdown, all experienced a simultaneous massive wave which dwarfed that of even the spring, it should lead one to at least suspect this has a lot to do with seasonality, and
that man’s control over nature is limited (it should be noted, but hardly ever is by the news media,
that the timeline of this pandemic is
tracking the 1918 “Spanish Flu” to a remarkable degree).
But perhaps the most devastating data point for the pro-lockdown forces has been the decline in the impact of the virus over the past six weeks.
Against the dire predictions of all the media’s favorite “experts,” (including President Biden and Dr. Fauci who had declared as he took over that “
the worst is yet to come,” and that his administration had no control over the direction the virus was going to take)
the numbers — especially the key metric of hospitalizations — have dropped as universally as they had risen at the start of winter.
Conversely, while lockdown proponents point to
Sweden as proof that not shutting down relevant life or mandating masks has consequences, the
data from our own state of Florida has struck a blow against the eventual effectiveness of doing so, especially during the winter wave. Despite being far more free/open than any other large state, having an extremely old population, and being the target of particularly hateful media coverage seemingly motivated by them daring to stray outside the herd,
Florida has done far better in recent months than any of the big lockdown states, and is actually below the national average in per capita deaths over the last year (
a major problem which Biden’s top Covid adviser can’t even try to explain).
