Sen. Paul: White House Mask ‘Theater’ Is ‘Discouraging People’ From Getting Vaccine

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said federal government officials’ insistence on wearing masks in public appearances has discouraged people from getting the COVID-19 vaccine, suggesting that it’s not necessary for fully vaccinated individuals to keep wearing masks around in public.

Describing the move as “theater,” Paul said it would harm efforts to get people vaccinated if the public doesn’t believe the shot has an impact in curbing the spread of the virus. He was referring to an online meeting of world leaders in which President Joe Biden was the only official wearing a mask.

Biden forgot that “this theater was so ridiculous that people would call him out on it,” he said. Last week, others questioned why the president would wear a mask in such a setting. All the other world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weren’t wearing masks.

“If I want to go visit the White House, Republicans, and Democrats who go visit, even though they’ve all been vaccinated or had the disease, they’re being tested with a deep sinus test,” Paul told Fox News over the weekend.
“And they’re being told to wear the N95 masks to go in the White House, even though they’ve all been vaccinated,” he said. “So there is no science behind any of this. It’s fear-mongering. But it also has a deleterious effect, in that it’s discouraging people from getting the vaccine because they’re saying, well, if the vaccine doesn’t mean anything, it doesn’t seem to have any protective benefit, you get no benefit.”

If people can’t “quit wearing the mask,” some have asked why they should get vaccinated at all, Paul said.

“I think that’s the wrong attitude. But this is what’s coming from Biden and the so-called scientists that he’s putting forward.”

The second he doesn't the right will attack him on that too.  There's no winning. 

Went up 500 
The state just needs motivation.  Open up larger gatherings to those who are vaccinated.

This is the kind of stupidity that is synonymous with the lying SAFETY CULT morons who, ignorant of the actual science, chant the mantra "follow the science", while out the other side of their mouth say "ignore the science that we've claimed was science until this very moment and change the rules to accomplish some equally moronic useless goal". You can't make this shit up. These people are dumber than rocks. And liars.

Florida House bans Vaccine Passports…

Jacksonville — Businesses, schools and government entities across Florida will be barred from asking anyone to provide proof of a COVID-19 vaccination under a bill passed by the House and sent to the Senate for final approval Wednesday. The rare restriction on business from the pro-business Legislature was tucked into SB 2006, a bill intended to update the state’s emergency powers in the face of a future public health emergency.

In addition to barring so-called COVID-19 “passports,” the measure would make it more difficult for local governments to respond to public emergencies by requiring their emergency orders to be narrowly tailored and extended only in seven-day increments for a total of 42 days. Currently, such orders can be extended indefinitely.

Florida legislators have remained on the sidelines as local governments and federal and state agencies navigated the policy and logistics response to the pandemic. The bill approved by the House 76-40 does not address the coronavirus pandemic but updates the law for future emergencies.

Rep. Tom Leek, R-Ormond Beach, who led the Pandemics & Public Emergencies Committee that drafted the bill, said the goal of the measure was to “prepare Florida for the next public-health emergency while striking a delicate balance between protecting people and protecting people’s civil liberties.”

Leek defended the restriction on vaccine authorizations, saying that the COVID-19 vaccines “don’t have the same proven history of the same vaccines we require our school children to get. We must recognize that vaccine hesitancy is real and understandable.”

He said that while he urges everyone to “please get vaccinated,” there remains resistance among the minority community, and the bill tells businesses “they may not enact policies that unfairly and disparately discriminate against our minority populations.”

yeah, up 500 or down 21000+ from the week before
keep on moving the goalposts...

Nothing to see here. But just to make sure you don't see it we're removing it.

Fauci’s NIAID Scientists Attended Wuhan Lab Summit, Now WIPED From The Internet.

In addition to funding research groups collaborating with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Dr. Anthony Fauci also approved National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases researchers’ attendance at a conference sponsored by the lab believed by many to be the source of COVID-19.

The 2016 Conference on Viral Infection and Immune Response, hosted by the Nature science journal, has been scrubbed from publication’s website, but The National Pulse has located archived versions of the site. We also saved the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s (WIV) press release.

Two researchers from Dr. Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) were in attendance at the 2016 event which discussed emerging viral diseases, infections and antiviral immunity – all critical to the COVID-19 response.

Dr. Fauci has served as Director of the institute since 1984 and remains the highest paid U.S. government employee despite a bevy of false prognostications and outright lies.

At the time of the conference, attendee Kanta Subbarao served as Chief of the NIAID’s Emerging Respiratory Viruses Section and Nancy Sullivan served as Chief of the Biodefense Research Section at the NIAID’s Vaccine Research Center. Sullivan still serves under Fauci while Subbarao departed the agency to become Director of the World Health Organization’s Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza.

“We don’t want to get into the position of saying if you’re vaccinated you can do different things than those who are not vaccinated. It does create an enforcement nightmare. We wouldn’t be able to determine who is vaccinated and who’s not,” Ige said.

so it's not about science but about rules and enforcement writ large.

Everyone is de facto guilty, and there is no opportunity to prove you are innocent (which would be the opposite of our judicial premise of "innocent until proven guilty" anyway).

Of course the whole mask thing is total bullshit (according to actual medical-journal-published peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials), so this is just adding insult to injury, or more accurately, one baseless tyrannical absurdity on top of another.

So, she's fully "vaccinated" and continued to follow all the "mitigation measures" (masks, "social distancing", and hand sanitizing, etc.) and... she's infected (and probably infectious). Good to know. Any questions about why "vaccination" doesn't provide an exemption from the useless mitigation measures? Virus gonna virus.

Double-Vaccinated Arizona state lawmaker tests positive for Covid…

Source article: https://www.azfamily.com/news/ap_cnn/rep-alma-hernandez-tests-positive-for-covid-19-after-vaccination/article_3569ed4c-5e8b-54d5-bd05-8efed449afa6.html

Tucson Democrat Alma Hernandez announced late Wednesday that she has some symptoms and is quarantining for a week at the home she maintains in Phoenix. Hernandez said she has lost her sense of taste and smell and has a bad headache, typical mild symptoms of the coronavirus. Her brother, Democrat Daniel Hernandez, says he tested negative for the virus but will self-isolate for several days and then take another test.

Hernandez is at least the eighth Arizona state lawmaker who has confirmed they contracted the virus and the only one known to be fully vaccinated. Republican state Sen. David Gowan had the virus in early March.

Alma Hernandez says she was fully vaccinated 11 weeks ago but noted that getting the inoculation does not always prevent the infection. She says she continued to take precautions such as wearing a mask, washing her hands and social distancing and urges everyone to do so until the pandemic passes.

So Moron Ige says he can't grant any resumption of rights and privileges to people who have taken the Emergency Use Authorization drugs because it would be a nightmare to attempt to distinguish the drugged from the un-drugged. Hmmm. If only there was some way to distinguish between those two groups...

‘Vaccine Pass’ coming to Chicago…

Original full article: https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2021/04/28/chicago-vax-pass-may/

CHICAGO (CBS) — Next month, the city of Chicago will offer “Vax Passes.” They will allow vaccinated people to attend certain concerts and events. More details on how it works are expected in the next few weeks.

Asked about the city’s “Vax Pass” initiative, Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the city is “constantly looking at ways in which we can incentivize folks to get the vaccine. We’re going to be looking at ways in which we can incentivize people to get vaccinated, and do that by looking at preferred seating, preferred admission. So that’s still very much a work in progress, and we’ll have more to say on that in the coming days,” she said.

The mayor said vaccinations among the city’s Black population are still lagging behind every other demographic.

“So we really need – particularly 18 to 44, where we’re seeing the lowest uptake – we need you to get vaccinated. Do it, of course, for yourself; but for your family, for your grandparents [Aren't they already drugged?],” Lightfoot said. “There’s plenty of opportunity now all over the city to get vaccinated for free – let me emphasize that, for free. So don’t be a bystander. Get in the game. Get yourself vaccinated.”

[Her plea was immediately followed by a mad rush to get drugged by exactly no one...]

Physician response to China Bidet wearing mask outdoors to announce CDC says don't need to wear a mask outdoors. "Give me a break! No one needs to wear a mask outdoors" [not just the "vaccinated"].

Speaking of the SAFETY CULT being completely irrational moronic ignoramus hypocrites...

Just a coincidence, I'm sure. For all of them.

Yesterday, I had a heart attack

My cardiovascular system is completely normal & healthy

But last week I took the Pfizer vaccine and there are reports that it’s been causing heart complications

Most causes have been ruled out and it looks like Pfizer may have done this to me...





The number of people (specifically younger men) that’ve reached out saying they’ve had heart issues too post vaccine is astounding

Even people in my immediate network

“Low odds of happening” doesn’t seem too low from where I’m sitting

Moreover, according to my doctor, there have been many more cases of my exact situation in this very hospital

Young men, 18-30 years old, going through mild to severe cardiac events post vaccine (even Moderna + J&J)

This is scary.

It’s official. I have myocarditis.

Cause?

Either from a viral infection (which I have no symptoms of sickness) or from the vaccine

I think the answer is clear.

Feeling better. Should be discharged with medication later today 🙏

Also, I’m getting a physician exemption from needing to take Pfizer shot #2

Make of that what you will

Doctor defends ‘80 clinical studies’ showing ivermectin ‘89% effective’ at preventing COVID

‘People are trying to scare us from taking ivermectin,’ Dr. Benigno Agbayani declared. ‘It’s one of the safest drugs in the world.’

QUEZON, Philippines, April 29, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A doctor from the Philippines strongly defended the use of ivermectin for preventing and treating COVID-19, pointing to “80 clinical studies” which support his arguments, and alluding to “bias” and conflicts of interest, which have led medical bodies to be reluctant about promoting the drug.

Appearing on Philippine television channel ABS–CBN, Dr. Benigno Agbayani answered a range of questions about the efficacy and safety of the drug, as well as the peculiar reticence to recommend it for treating COVID-19.

Agbayani, the president of Concerned Doctors and Citizens of the Philippines, revealed that since last year, he had spent over five hours a day studying scientific literature on all things pertaining to COVID-19, including the non-effectiveness of lockdowns. “I think I’ve read more than anyone on COVID-19,” he stated.

However, Agbayani did not spend long defending his medical credentials, but instead advocated the use of ivermectin by referring to the wealth of scientific studies with which he was by now very familiar. He already prescribed ivermectin to over 300 of his own patients, but despite the success he has experienced so far, Agbayani stated that he looks “at the success rate of studies, rather than my personal experience, because that’s where I base my recommendations.”

“As much as anecdotal [pieces of evidence] are good, and we have many, I really prefer that we stick to the science,” he said. “People are trying to scare us from taking ivermectin. It’s one of the safest drugs in the world.”

Mentioning a study from September 2020, Agbayani stated that ivermectin had been shown to actually block “the receptor sites of the virus onto our cells, therefore blocking it from ever getting to the cell.”

“You have over 26, as of today, randomized control trials showing effectiveness, even as high as 89% for prevention, and as high as 80% for treatment. So I think regardless of what the other groups are doing, you have so much science behind it, I do not see why we have to be so concerned.”

do you realize that anit-vaxx sentiment has FALLEN since the vaccines were approved?
do you realize that "herd immunity" was never supposed to be achieved through vaccines until last year when they changed the definition?
