Seems facts and real data verify the political nature of this flu and the 
inability of Democrat politicians to function like normal human beings.
Democrat party is guided by Politics and power.

Lockdowns do nothing but kick the can down the road. There is no data whatsoever showing that lockdowns saved any lives because as soon as the lockdown ends the cases go way back up. So they only prolong the suffering and there is no data that shows 6 months AFTER a lockdown that even one life is saved after the lockdown occurred. You only save lives DURING the lockdowns because you are prolonging getting the inevitable infection. And the data backs up what I said and not what is commonly believed by the low information voters. The worst part is we learned from the first lockdown you not only don’t save lives because the infections rise tremendously showing that you only kicked the can down the road, but we prolonged the suffering of people losing their jobs and staying out of work. JMHO

Prolonging it is good,  as you can vaccinate.  So when everyone gets off lockdown, we might have herd immunity. This means we can save lives.

Where’s your proof that lockdowns save lives? Make sure it includes the statistics showing that lives were saved up to 6 months after the lockdown due to the lockdown.

I stayed in my home last night. Which means I didn't get hit by a car during that specific time period.  Guess we must all mandate to stay home so no one gets hit by a car.  I also did not get any surgery during the same time period. Which means no malpractice event.

From Tom Woods today (I've included the promo urls... also, my bold):

Today instead of sharing more COVID charts I want to share something from someone in my private group.

Before I do that, a reminder: yesterday I shared with you my latest free eBook, COVID Charts CNN Forgot. It takes a lot of what I've been saying but instead being spread out over weeks' worth of emails, it's all in one convenient place:

http://www.ChartsTheyForgot.com

Picking up a copy of that free eBook at the link above also adds you to my email list (which you're on already if you're reading this, so that part won't have any effect for you), but if you have friends who belong on this list because they're desperate for truth, please forward ChartsTheyForgot.com to them, with my thanks.

Now, for what I want to share today.

Someone introduced himself to my private group, the Tom Woods Show Elite, this week with the following:

Last year my daughter Abigail was born a few days before the lockdowns started in Massachusetts. She was diagnosed with an incredibly rare genetic disorder called CHARGE syndrome (a little less than 1 in 100,000), which has a 40% survival rate. Once the lockdowns kicked in it was literally illegal for me and my wife to see or be by our preemie daughter, who was convulsing in painful uncontrollable spasms for months, and on the brink of death.

Eventually the lockdowns "relaxed" so one of us could visit our daughter once daily for a generous two hours. I cannot put into words how traumatic it is to have a daily conversation with your wife about who gets to spend the potentially last day ever with your baby girl. Thankfully she survived after multiple surgeries, but is blind (compared to death that is a blessing). However, developmental services for special needs children in Massachusetts have been deemed a "nonessential service."

We have been lucky to have secured some in-person OT visits with our daughter, but it has been criminally illegal in our state to have critical in-person visits with developmental specialists to help our daughter overcome challenges associated with her disabilities. She is months behind and will face permanent developmental delays because of the lockdowns set forth by our lovely Republican governor.

I joined this legendary group to share my personal COVID tragedy, which is unfortunately one of millions, to a sympathetic group of like-minded individuals. I'm finishing up my public health PhD at [institution removed by TW], and am a political science professor at a state school up in Massachusetts, so I'm sure you can imagine how I'm surrounded by COVID doomers 24/7. Tom Woods literally gave me the strength to look death straight in the eye last year and overcome it, so I will be forever grateful.


This is indeed a tragedy, albeit one that could have been even worse.

The COVID monomania has had the effect of erasing these tragedies from the public's attention. All that matters is COVID.

And there are lesser tragedies, too. Kids prevented from socializing. Widespread impoverishment. Neighbors pitted against neighbors. Businesses that people poured their lives into, destroyed. Depression, alcoholism and drug abuse, and suicide, all up -- everyone knows it.

And if you say my life has been devastated by all this, you will be shamed. You must want people to die because you're capable of thinking about tradeoffs and aren't consumed by monomania.

The whole social shaming thing is taking place at a fifth-grade level. It should embarrass the people doing it, but they seem incapable of embarrassment.

And to think these people have the nerve to tell us we're in this together.

I'll tell you who's in it together: the rational people who have been shamed by superstitious and terrified fools, and who have had their lives turned upside down, and even ruined, for no good reason.

Or just the folks who haven't bought into the crazy, pointless theater, as they watch in horror as tens of millions of their countrymen fall in line behind the biggest public-health disaster in U.S. history.

Those people -- you and I, in other words -- are in it together.

The Tom Woods Show Elite is where we normal people hang out, and learn from and support each other.

I look forward to welcoming another normal person (that's you):

It takes the governor of Texas 29 seconds to call bullshit and end it all. Too bad he bought into the bullshit in the first place...

How long before "malignant buffoon" (Tucker's description) Fauci announces that Texas will be in "big trouble" and the death rate soars until the total remaining Texas population is in the double digits?

In mid February 2020 my wife snapped a major ligament in her leg. The doc said it was a one in a million injury. I watched her leave in the ambulance. I was allowed to see her in emergency and was pissed off because they put her in the hallway to make room for the people coming in who were sick with what we now know as COVID. I am thankful she did not contract it at that time. They finally found a room fore her 3 days later. And that was the time they stopped allowing visitors to the hospital due to how the politicians handled COVID. She spent another 4 days in Queens and then another 2 week stint at Rehab of the Pacific. Two weeks out of Rehab she snapped the same ligament in her other leg. I watched her leave in the ambulance. That was another 3 weeks I was not able to see her. We moved to AZ and in July 2020 she had to be admitted into the hospital for another week while they tried to stabilize her blood sugar. Couldn’t see her for a week. Except for another stint to the emergency room for 4 hours she has had a pretty good run until the beginning of this month when she fell and broke her ankle. I watched her leave in an ambulance. She spent 4 days in the hospital and another two and a half weeks in rehab. Another 3 weeks I could not see her. She had to go through major reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation alone.

My wife and I are very close and it pains both of us to be separated from each other like this. We have not seen nor touched each other for 10 weeks out of the last year. I had to spend every night of those 10 weeks wondering if she was being taken care of properly. During the 6 weeks she spent at Queens and Rehab of the Pacific they fucked her up good. They mishandled her blood test results and caused a tremendous amount of pain for her (and me). It has taken this long to undue the crap they put her through last year. And all that time I couldn’t be there with her, for her and to help her through all the pain. And I had to endure a lot of late night phone calls from her crying that she couldn’t come home but worse because I couldn’t come see her.

All because of how are politicians handled COVID. And now knowing that this virus is no more deadly than the flu, it angers me to know most of what happened to my wife at Queens and Rehab of the Pacific was avoidable because I would have not let it go on as long as they did before doing something for her. Knowing that my wife had to go through 10 weeks of misery all because some politician didn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground and decided that lockdowns are the best thing for the country pisses me off. Especially now that we know in hindsight that lockdowns do nothing to save people. They only prolong allowing the virus to run its course. Which as we all know is worse than letting it run its course.

Of course this is all in hindsight, but if politicians followed what freedom is and not allowing X reason to keep people out of your state or at home, the nation would be better.  We have learned all it takes is X reason for politicians to restrict movements (freedoms), and the people to become Nazi's.  This sets a very dangerous precedent, which will be used again in the future. 

Then you have the moronic HI gov who knows tourism is our main economy driver. But hey, lets make everyone 14 day quarantine no matter what when arriving into our state.

And anything reason can be justified, it's just how you word it.  So they need to follow their oath and not politicize this.  We will never know how many could have been treated/saved if the Governor of NV didn't ban HCQ usage except from inside a hospital.  Only to lift that ban 6 weeks later.  He implemented it shortly after Trump mentioned it's 1 thing he used when he caught COVID.

My bad, went from memory.

Trump mentioned HCQ as a treatment and then Governor of NV banned it unless at a hospital. This was in March. Trump used HCQ in May amongst other drugs to combat his COVID.

Shit, no focus. He took it in May as preventative measure.  .  You know you can correct the wrong info, makes it easier. Sample: " Trump did not take HCQ to combat his COVID in May. He took it as precautionary in May. When he caught COVID in October, he took other stuff and not HCQ. Focus".

Inspector, I'm so sad and angry that you and your wife had to go through that garbage bullshit. ugh.

Now multiply that story by, I'm guessing, probably a million, and you have the smug satisfied moronic grin of the SAFETY CULT knowing they protected you, and her. Fucking idiots.
