Idk where the original thread is but I was basically calling it a farce when it was still isolated to China

Same. China was putting fake bodies in body bags. I had my eyes wide open from that point on.

Putting a flimsy piece of plastic in front of the cashier. As if the germs only flow in a straight line.

Also as someone else pointed out, turning a blind eye to the protests, but you couldn't play ball in the park

The. Data from The Diamond Princess made a skeptic of me. Death rate of 1.6% among a cohort with a median age of 59. I did some averaging with data on other age groups and guessed that the death rate would end up. At 0.6%. At the end of 2020 the CDC data showed 0.59%.

Fauci would say we'd reach herd immunity when 70-75% of the population was vaccinated, leaving the already recovered population with natural immunity out of the calculation. It was like natural immunity didn't exist. Very large red flag.

The two showy ones for me were:

When they started discouraging people from outdoor activities when it was blatantly obvious that those living healthy lifestyles were at extremely low risk.

When they started calling people racist who came to the undeniable conclusion that the virus emerged from the Wuhan lab. It was even more infuriating when the lab erased all of their documents about the Coronavirus research going on there.

Bonus for anyone who got thru 5th grade math and could read simple statistics. Acting like we’re all gonna die when an overwhelming majority of the deaths were 70+ and the rest were either gigantic lard asses or were already on the verge of death.

I had a guy from China order 600,000 Kn95 masks
In early November
And then again in January
I didnt think about it again until we had a meeting saying we acquired a company that makes the mask and hand sanitiser ect. That this was going to be big at the middle of January the March hit and the US went stupid.
Also with the shot I don't trust anything that rushed, my skepticism seemed to be correct

Natural immunity doesn’t matter.

This went totally against everything we learned in biology class, from secondary school thru college level.

Followed by: You have to get the shot regardless of whether you had natural immunity or not. Otherwise you couldn’t take off your mask.

Followed by: Even though you followed all the guidelines and were tripled vaxxed, you still needed to wear a mask. WTF???

They believed some people in science but not other scientists bc they had a differing opinion.

To be fair, it wasn’t out of the blue. It was in response to a WaPo article that was discussing a report that had been issued by a think tank on the global readiness for a pandemic. Still crazy timing, but not on his own accord.


Umm it was an article written by a known Democratic rag based on the study published by a Democratic Think Tank to establish an "I told you so" record.

It wasn't "crazy timing"; it was foreshadowing!

2 weeks to slow the curve.
Wear a mask when walking thru a restaurant but it's ok to take it off to eat when sitting. The surgical mask will stop the virus even though you can smell a fart thru it amd it was designed to stop blood and other fluids from getting on your face.
The government waived any and all legal course of action if the Jab hurt you in some way.
That standing 6 feet away will be far enough not to get sick.
The list goes on and on.

The whole "two weeks to flatten the curve" thing was a gigantic red flag. Like the government was going to just back off after making everybody lockdown. That and the whole it was spread from eating a penguin or Chinese platypus or whatever it was. No, it couldn't have come from the virus lab in the same city, that was just a coincidence. And you're a racist for calling it the China Virus. Anyone who bought into the COVID stuff from the beginning is a fricking idiot.

When they showed those trucks in China spraying people who were rolling around in the street around March 15 2020. It looked North Korean fake.

I was just adding context to show it wasn’t like Biden just blurted it out on his own.

I still believe that my post about the planned two week shutdown was the first time it was mentioned on this board and that would have been about February of 20

Everything in medical understanding up to that point in history of handling pandemics were ignored

I never thought it was legit ......ever.

My 1st true WTH moment was early on....driving around Monroe....all restaurants were closed/ convience stores closed.....but Walmart and Home Depot parking lots were packed.

6 feet distance....why not 5 or 7 feet....why 6?

The arrows at the grocery stores to show which way to go.

People in masks alone in their cars.

This ALL was the most rediculous idiotic time in history. I just kept my mouth shut the whole time and tried not to snap.
