Are we still pretending the measures they took actually worked? I mean really guys, if you think that we needed more intervention to stop the covid then I dont really know what to tell you.
Well, we took a ton of half measures and performed a lot of safety theater. Big shocker, it didn't work well. Either way, the point wasn't to stop the disease entirely, but spread out the cases to "flatten the curve" and reduce load on hospitals, which it did do.
The thing is, even now we could totally wipe out COVID and other airborne diseases if we just handed out N95 masks to everyone and they actually wore the fucking things. But counting on voluntary participation is a pipe dream, since people will inevitably take their masks off at home and whatnot.
No, it didnt work at all. We literally knew lockdowns didnt work in spring of 2020, it was all a steaming pile of bullshit including flattening the curve.
Strange, because the countries where they did implement those measures came out better than the ones that didn't.
I'm sorry, but you can't argue with history.
Apples and oranges. There was a study in spring of 2020 by JP morgan chase that showed the exact thing that anyone that was looking at the data would see, the lockdowns did absolutely nothing. Literally nothing.
Man, a massive corporation whose bottom line would be hugely impacted from a proper lock down said a proper lockdown wouldn't work? That's craaaaaaaaazy ๐
Gotcha, we are just going to do science denial now.
Bruh you're the science denier
Oh yeah, referencing a study and actual data from the CDC is science denial when it disagrees with what you want...
What is it you people say, "follow the money" or something?
How does that relate to this discussion?
Because of who funded the study, Chase Bank. No offense, but does your head contain a brain?
Sigh, fine lets trace the money... Lockdowns caused the largest transfer in wealth to the rich and large corporations in the history of the world. Would a large corporation want lockdowns or not?
But...my whole point was that we didn't do a proper lockdown...
Your comments dont make sense, and you are a douche, bye.
lol
