Science! Four US states are 3+ weeks removed from lifting their statewide or county level mask mandates…What’s the results?

Remember that time liberals were right about something they forced on people? Yeah… me neither.

For the sake of idiots, the TOTAL number of deaths graph continues to go up, naturally.

The Trump-incited panic on the part of the Left is subsiding, but a new lower level fear is still being propagated as it is the best way to force Americans to “Show Me Your Papers!”

The U.S. fatality count will soon exceed 550,000. Over 100,000,000 adults have been vaccinated, with a new goal of 200,000,000 in another 40 days. All the numbers were looking much, much better. And then people began blowing off masks and social distancing measures, started traveling, and many decided there’s really no need to be vaccinated…

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, on Monday:

“I’m going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom … We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are and so much reason for hope. But right now, I’m scared.”

I’m reminded of the movie Jaws, where they’ve successfully killed some random shark and jubilant city officials decide it’s safe to immediately reopen the beaches.

I turned on the FOX News channel an hour or so ago. They were running President Biden’s live COVID-19 update where he was pleading for people to be patient just a little while longer, but without the audio. FOX News nitwits were talking over him, essentially telling viewers the pandemic was all over and extolling the resumption of normal activities. Later, no doubt, there will be the predictable snarky Twitter and forum posts about how inept and confused Biden seemed, eagerly read by people who didn’t hear a word he said.

This woman is nothing more than a political hack who is not following science but following the agenda of her handlers. First she says in the beginning of February it is safe to open the schools
“There is increasing data to suggest that schools can safely reopen and that safe reopening does not suggest that teachers need to be vaccinated.”

OK, so she is following the “data” but only to change her mind two weeks later claiming
“”I think we need a lot more resources in order to get the schools safe.”

So which is it? Did she have the “data” or not, did the “data” change and if so, which data is she linking her opinion to?

I’m reminded of the movie Jaws,

Of course you are. You live in the world of fantasy. There is NO giant shark going to jump in a boat and eat the crew and the NPR portal shows the BLUE states are the ones with the spikes, not the red states who have decided that enough with the socialist bullshit. Open our nation now.

Dr. Walensky has degrees in biochemistry and molecular biology from Washington University, a Masters Degree in public health from Harvard, and an M.D. from John Hopkins. She has been a professor at Harvard Medical School for 8 years and has served as Chief of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Massachusetts for 3 years. She’s considered to be an expert on AIDS and HIV.

She was quick to point out that how successful COVID-19 vaccine would be at stopping the pandemic depend as much upon the speed and effectiveness with which it could be widely distributed and utilized as on the effectiveness of the vaccine itself. Her understanding of that likely had something to do with her appointment.

I suppose you could consider that somehow political, since the Trump administration had developed no national strategy for rapid deployment and mass vaccinations, deciding instead to leave that all up to individual states.

The right idiotically made essential public health responses like mask wearing and social distancing into political issues, promoting childish defiance of common sense behavior. Thousands of people have died unnecessarily because of such stupidity. We’ll never know the full extent of the damage that did, either in lost lives or enormous economic costs.

@Greg:

One thing we can always count on; give you a couple of hours and you will edit your original post.

Nothing you said does anything to eliminate the fact that Rochelle Walensky is nothing more than a(n educated) political hack.
