White House coronavirus adviser stumbles, struggles to explain similar virus numbers despite differing lockdown approaches

Sweden was right.

But the failed, despotic Democrats have dug in and now want to make multiple masks mandatory.

White House coronavirus adviser struggles to explain similar virus numbers despite differing lockdown approaches

White House COVID-19 adviser Andy Slavitt appeared not to be able to explain why some states that don’t have strict responses to the pandemic, such as Florida, seemingly fare no worse than largely locked-down states like California.

By: Michael Lee, Washington Examiner, February 18, 2021:

“There’s so much of this virus that we think we understand, and we think we can predict, that’s just a little beyond our explanation,” Slavitt said when asked by MSNBC why Florida and California have similar COVID-19 numbers despite differences in policy responses. “What we do know is the more careful people are, the more they mask and social distance, and the quicker we vaccinate, the quicker it goes away and the less it spreads.”

Slavitt noted that variants make the virus hard to predict and warned that the country needs to remain vigilant.

“We’ve got to get better visibility into variants. We don’t know what role they play,” Slavitt said. “As we all have learned by this time, this is a virus that continues to surprise us. It’s very hard to predict, and, all around the country, we’ve got to continue to do a better job, and I think we are, but we’re not done yet.”

California has implemented the strictest lockdown policies in the country, according to a Wallet Hub analysis, while Florida remains one of the least restrictive states.

Despite frequent criticism of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s approach, the governor has shown little sign he plans on backing down. In a fiery speech Monday, DeSantis slammed updated CDC guidance that called for some schools to remain closed to in-person instruction and vowed to keep the doors to Florida’s schools open.

“What the CDC put out, 5 p.m. on a Friday afternoon, I wonder why they would do it then, was quite frankly a disgrace. It would require, if you actually follow that, closing 90% of schools in the United States,” DeSantis said. “We are open, we remain open, and we are not turning back.”

A mask can reduce the chance of spreading the virus from the wearer to others but not prevent it. The reduction is very small. Considering the risk of becoming seriously ill from the disease is also very small for the vast majority of people, masking is just silly.

These Mrna vaccine shots are killing off the old people and those in compromised health situations. Guess not enough are dead yet so a third shot it needed… Take the Trump drug if you are nervous about the Chinese virus. You can now get it online and there are doctors that do prescribe it.

Bill Gates:
Third Shot May Be Needed To Combat Coronavirus Variants

February 18, 2021
By Megan Redshaw, J.D

Gates told CBS News we might need a third shot of a currently available vaccine, or a “modified” vaccine as the virus mutates, but CHD’s RFK, Jr. asks why we haven’t focused instead on non-vaccine strategies, including therapeutic drugs.

Even the corrupt World Health Organization and vaccine companies have conceded that the vaccines do not prevent people from being infected with COVID or from transmitting it, but are only effective at reducing symptoms or killing you off if you are older and have a compromised health condition.

When asked whether the coronavirus vaccine would be similar to the flu vaccine, which requires yearly boosters, Gates couldn’t rule that out.

Until the virus is eradicated from all humans, Gates said, additional shots may be needed in the future.

( I can hardly believe I agree with JFK Jr.)

“Gates continues to move the goalposts,” said Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., chairman and chief legal counsel of Children’s Health Defense.

“Meanwhile the strategies he and others have promoted are obliterating the global economy, demolishing the middle class, making the rich richer and censoring vaccine safety advocates, like me.”

Kennedy said that the exclusive focus on vaccines has prevented the kind of progress required to actually address and recover from the pandemic:

“From the pandemic’s outset, clear-headed people familiar with the challenges inherent in the vaccine model have understood that the path out of crisis would require multiple steps.”

“Those steps would need to include the development and/or identification of therapeutic drugs, the sharing of information among doctors to hone improved treatment models that reduce infection mortality rates below those for flu, and the kind of broad-spectrum long-term herd immunity that protects against mutant strains and that only derives from natural infection.”

Instead, Gates and vaccine makers are proposing a lifetime of boosters, supporting insufficient testing to determine safety and failing to address the inadequate monitoring of vaccine injuries, Kennedy said.

I just said something similar to a friend.
The greatest disappointment of the Left is that so few actually died from covid. This was supposed to significantly reduce the population and it didn’t. Now what? They’re keeping us locked down until they work it out. That’s what.

ABSOLUTELY! Hydroxychloroquine plus Azithromycin and Zinc were the ideal medication cocktail all along, as a treatment, for this viral disease! It just needed to be administered in low-enough milligram levels, in order to be safe, and to do the trick. But the powers-that-be didn’t want a viable treatment to spring up: they instead wanted the China virus crisis to seem much more hopeless & frightening that it actually was! They secretly reveled in the panic & alarmism! It gave them the golden opportunity to wield huge levels of autocratic, “emergency” dictatorial power! They sure didn’t want all that to end, last year’s spring & summer! The Democrat-Left got into full gear, preparing to pervert the rules and steal the next federal election!

But think about it: this was a viral illness with an over-99% chance of survival, for those under the high-elderly-age groups. A virus that is just a tad bit worse & just a bit more severe than the regular, seasonal Flu. Which it closely resembles in symptoms. It basically is just a heavier Influenza strain! Our entire economies, industries, commerce, & financial foundations were needlessly put into a gigantic self-destruct mode, and crashing downward spiral, by national health authorities & other leaders. It was so hyperbolic and over-the-top! It was an unreasonable, mega-hysterical reaction to a semi-accidentally unbottled, uncorked Chinese lab, bio-experiment stash! It was over-reaction put into overdrive.

The Liberal-Left in particular, exploited the widespread fear, to elicit unfair, crooked political advantages! China knew exactly how the outside world, particularly the western nations, were going to react. The devastation-toll that their Wuhan virus illness caused, were all byproducts of the sheer panic & alarmism by governments, that did far more damage to the common people, than the sickness itself! All completely unnecessary, had some level-headed-ness & sober composure prevailed, instead, among the men in power.

China & its totalitarian rulers are squarely to blame for this worldwide calamity, as far as the origins of it go! It was their incompetency at that microbiology laboratory in the city of Wuhan, in properly containing the Covid microbe, that doomed the entire planet to this giant epidemic siege! But the outgrowth of this hideous, global panic, that is totally out of proportion to dealing with the level of crisis that in fact is, needlessly has brought on its own self-fulfilling Armaggedon! And our so-called ‘leaders’ & ‘experts’ STILL are not done, with pressing the self-destruct buttons! SCAM-DEMIC, PLANNED-DEMIC indeed!

Agreed. After all the bloated statistics, perverted research, and political opportunism, they can kiss my ass and call me Charlie.

I shake hands, don’t wear a mask, and am not going to avail myself to the VA’s vaccination program. I’ll be alive next week.

And still no one is addressing the fact that the “number of deaths” was manipulated by the CDC when they changed instructions on how to fill out a death certificate. As it stands CV has nearly cured cancer, heart disease, stroke, pneumonia and a plethora of other diseases.

Let us not forget Dr. Birx’s comment “There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust.”

I have been watching this over the past few days. Usually, when the series (free) is finished, they play the whole thing over again at the weekend (free). I hope they do, I missed a few episodes. It is very well produced and informative. If you have some time, the last episode (9) is airing again today (free), I highly recommended it. This is what the Left don’t want you to know about covid. These experts are banned by the media and social networks. (I got censored by FB just for sharing this link.)

Two things I learned watching the series Covid Revealed:

1. You cannot patent something that occurs naturally, like rain, grass, colds, the flu.
2. Bill Gates owns the patent on Covid 19.

Interesting….

From the start, this preposterous hoax (covid pandemic) has been an exercise in stumble-bum-osity. You can tell it was co-ordinated by ultra arrogant brain-dead elitists who couldn’t organize a twiddly wink tournament. Every phase of this conflobberation has been suspect right up to and including the fake vaccines.The real problem is that so many people are afraid to think beyond what they hear in the news and from pretend experts (Mengele Fauci, for one). Trust nothing until you can verify it for yourself by doing some down and dirty investigation. That means going outside the mainstream BS. But most are too busy or lazy to think beyond the box they inhabit.
