In California This Weekend, We Saw, Again, How Easy It Is to Panic Americans I am writing this column on a beautiful sunny day in Southern California. It is a Monday in mid-August, so it is not a national holiday, yet in Los Angeles County, where I live, all schools and all government offices are closed Why? Because, for the past week, the National Weather Service, state and local authorities, and national and local media have been ceaselessly warning that a tropical storm would hit Southern California on Sunday night and Monday with a “life-threatening” intensity not seen since the last tropical storm hit California in 1939, 84 years ago. On Saturday, CNN reported, “California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday proclaimed a state of emergency Saturday for a large portion of Southern California, as the state prepares for a historic hurricane expected to cause extreme rain and flooding.” {snip} The reason my wife and I drove to Simi Valley on Sunday night was to attend a friend’s wedding. How much people panicked was made sadly evident there. During the meal, the groom mentioned to me that 40 expected guests had cancelled at the last moment. I was stunned, and to be honest, angry — maybe even angrier than the groom, who, at least on the outside, good-naturedly shrugged it off. There is no more important event in people’s lives than their wedding. Yet 40 people, about one in every four guests, didn’t show up to a wedding they had committed to attend. And for no good reason. No schools open, no government offices open, dire emergency warnings — all about almost nothing, certainly in Los Angeles County. Apparently, many Americans learned nothing from the 2020-2021 lockdowns. All the lockdowns did, as Sweden, without lockdowns or closed schools (for students under the age of 17), proved, was inflict terrible damage on the nation’s economy, the world’s economy, and the education and psyches of vast numbers of young people, and lead to the loss of a vast number of middle-class businesses. It also seems clear that many Americans continue to trust their well-being to “experts” and to the government. Apparently, it is impossible for the government to cry “wolf” too often. The sheeplike behavior of many Americans is something entirely new in our nation’s history. A people that thought of its country as “The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” no longer does. The government knows this. As we may learn again this fall. https://hotair.com/dennis-prager/2023/08/23/in-california-this-weekend-we-saw-again-how-easy-it-is-to-panic-americans-n572959 2

BillsFanNC Posted August 23, 2023 Posted August 23, 2023 The most prudent way to approach all of this... If the media, government, social media are all telling you the same thing in unison while ALSO suppressing voices that merely question or point to valid data to the contrary, then it's very safe to assume that you're being lied to.....again. 1

B-Man Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 Here's What the Media Don't Want You to Know About Rising COVID Numbers By Leah Barkoukis FTA: "President Biden declared COVID over last year but the media is begging for a comeback tour," he said, before cutting to a clip of NBC News highlighting the rising case numbers. "NBC News is deceiving you by denying you the real reason there’s a tiny uptick in cases," he said. "COVID follows seasonal and regional patterns. Every year there's three waves," Watters explained. "One starts in New England in the spring, the second travels north from Mexico in the summer, and the third wave travels in all directions from the Dakotas in the fall. "Deaths and hospitalizations are dramatically down from last year," the host continued. "There are more people hospitalized for falling down than are hospitalized for COVID right now. Six-thousand more people are in the hospital because they tripped and fell than got COVID. NBC News isn’t telling everybody to start buying walkers and canes. But real data is the enemy of politicians seeking total control. The less you know, the easier you are to subjugate." https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2023/08/24/jesse-watters-breaks-down-media-lies-about-covid-cases-n2627470#google_vignette 1
BillsFanNC Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 While people are certainly free to wear masks if they wish, I'm also perfectly free to mock them for doing so. And I absolutely will this time around.
B-Man Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 No Sh*t ! Secret Letter To CDC: Top Epidemiologist Suggests Agency Misrepresented Scientific Data To Support Mask Narrative Documents recently obtained from the National Institutes of Health suggest public health officials used inaccurate information and misrepresented medical research to advance their policy objective that masks prevent severe COVID-19 and virus transmission—despite opposing scientific evidence received from experts. https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2023/08/21/id5477758-Letter-on-deadly-risks-on-CDC-IDSA-website-1.pdf The authors urged the IDSA to remove the suggestion that masking prevents severe disease from its website and asked the CDC to reconsider its statements about the “efficacy of masks and face coverings for preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/secret-letter-cdc-top-epidemiologist-suggests-agency-misrepresented-scientific-data 1 1
B-Man Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 What exactly is the point of a mask mandate, anyway? DAVID STROM First things first: if you want to wear a mask, go ahead. Nobody is stopping you. If you believe they work, have at it. Obviously, people who wear masks think they provide protection from infection. And it is hard to imagine that anybody wearing masks to protect against COVID in 2023 isn’t vaxxed to the max. A new booster is coming out soon, too. You have your COVID armor, right? So why the push to reinstate mask mandates? It literally makes no sense if you believe that masks and vaccines work. And if you don’t believe they work, why push a mask mandate at all? If they work, you are protected. If they don’t, shut up about them. It is annoying and I am not wearing a mask to make you feel better. Once the vaccines became available the rather thin argument for mask mandates evaporated. Before everybody who got pushed vaccines on us in government and public health started announcing they were once again infected with COVID they had been assuring us that it was impossible to get infected once you had the vaccine. They always knew that was a lie, but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were mistaken. Mask mandates were still in effect for months or, in some cases, over a year once the vaccines rolled out. So Fauci and the COVID crowd were wearing masks, surrounded by people wearing masks, and were vaccinated. Yet they still contracted COVID. Still, let’s give them the presumption that COVID-19 vaccines work and that masks work. Then what? Then you are confronted by the obvious question: if you are protected, why do you care whether other people are? If that COVID vax and your mask work so well, then my COVID means nothing to you. You are in your protected bubble, and I am no more a danger to you than a person in Africa with Ebola. Right? Mask and vaccine mandates are implicit admission that neither masks nor vaccines work as advertised. It seems counterintuitive, but they truly are. If masks work and vaccines work then people who want protection already have access to it. What anybody else does is irrelevant, right? That whole “You won’t get seriously ill if you take the vaccine” applies to you, right? If so, my action puts you in no greater danger. If not, neither your actions nor mine places us in any less danger. A rational policy is much simpler: ask people with symptoms of illness–the cold, the flu, COVID, or anything else communicable to stay home, rest, and get better. We don’t want your crud. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/08/25/what-exactly-is-the-point-of-a-mask-mandate-anyway-n573513 . 1
BillsFanNC Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 FWIW I asked my friend who is pretty high up in TSA about returning mask mandates and while he hasn't heard anything yet, he said if they do come back air travel is going to get way uglier than it already is. Which of course will be the exact outcome the idiots who will bring this back desire.
BillsFanNC Posted August 26, 2023 Posted August 26, 2023 Don't go this far King. Just wear your mask and you'll be fine! 1
