I heard hospital bills but honestly everything they tell us is a lie so who knows.
great comment, thanks for the insights!
The thinking is that we don't know the long term effects of covid, so we need to continue protecting people. But won't we not know the long term effects for a very long time? Are we going to continue these restrictions for 20 years? No clear answer to that.
I asked about the cab mask mandate. I was told we need to protect people. I asked until when? Forever? No answer. I asked point blank, People think it's forever. Is it forever? No answer.
This person was desperate for the under-5 vaccine, & was happy toddlers continued to be masked. Don't you know dozens of vaccinated people who got covid, I asked. She did. So why are you so desperate for this vaccine? She told me the vaccine reduces chances of long covid. What?
But the pediatric vaccine efficacy was so low, I said. I told her that there were 0 hospitalizations in the control arm of the ped vaccine trials. She didn't know that. Wtf. This person works in public health and didn't know the ped vaccine reduced deaths from 0 to 0?
There is a continued sense of aggrievement, that we'd be in a different & better place if we had all acted properly. If we had focused on getting comfortable masks and normalized masking. According to her, wearing a mask wasn't a big deal, why couldn't more people do it?
This was actually shocking to me. We live in NYC. Everyone wore masks everywhere, even outdoors, for a year!! And now no one does, because masks suck. But according to PH, if we had just done a little better at "normalizing" masks, we'd all still be voluntarily wearing them.
But that wasn't even the most shocking part. This person was telling me, over and over again, that it was so interesting talking to me because she hadn't met a single other person with my views. She admitted she was in an echo chamber. This is a huge problem.
People in PH still think they are doing god's work, protecting people who are too dumb to make their own decisions, & if we had all just acted a little better the pandemic would be over. And they think that everyone agrees with them. It is completely divorced from reality.
And after I typed this out I read this amazing article by @VPrasadMDMPH, in which he makes the point I'm making but way more eloquently. It's normal people vs experts and the experts are really screwing this up.

I see a lot of weasel words: "generally reject", "convincing evidence" means some DON'T reject this, and there IS evidence (that's not "convincing" o_O).
I'm not an expert on this subject. but where there's smoke...
the "peak oil" thing always smacked of "muh climate change" control via memes.
I don't give af what you do. most shills are NPCs not feds btw.
that's what I was asking, and I was nuked for my troubles.
stick around, I may need you in the future if they ever get me. I doubt they will, but JUST in case. I still get nasty PMs from TMOR types saying they're coming for me in tWo MoRe WeEkS.
sandy hook was staged to demonize conspiracy theorists and to prevent ppl from questioning future staged events.
look up "abiotic" oil, we've been on this for years:

Decline this, faggots.
Incorporating a larger sample and longer period showed no significant relationship between mask mandates and case rates. These results persisted when using regression methods to control for differences across districts.
Interpretation: School districts that choose to mandate masks are likely to be systematically different from those that do not in multiple, often unobserved, ways.
We failed to establish a relationship between school masking and pediatric cases using the same methods but a larger, more nationally diverse population over a longer interval.
Our study demonstrates that observational studies of interventions with small to moderate effect sizes are prone to bias caused by selection and omitted variables. Randomized studies can more reliably inform public health policy.
you should check "howbadsmybatch" if you're so concerned about getting the clot shot.
I stickied an "Italygate" thread not because I believed it, but because the shill's reaction to it was unprecedented in my 10+ years of time on /r/conspiracy.
where there's shilly smoke, there's almost always fire.
she has a whole team currently finding devastating things about the covid jab, I'm not surprised. they can't keep the dam from bursting much longer.
ITALYGATE: Obama and Renzi (former PM of Italy) orchestrated the theft of the U.S. election from President Trump. Stephan Serafini coordinated with General Claudio Graziano, a board member of Leonardo aerospace. Italian intelligence provided the U.S. w/ documents, calls/photos of CIA Agents.
Here's the ITALYGATE video banned by youtube...More intel coming in about Italy’s role in our elections
I may have been banned from reddit for my pinned Italygate thread
it was an operation
you spent time on voat and still have thin skin?
at least one "grieving father" wearing sunglasses was worse than Robby Parker.

Speaking of unalterable facts that will never go away, this is one of the NYT's clearest statements yet about what was, far and away, the media's biggest story of Trump era, a vast conspiracy theory that resulted in no charges on that core claim.
