re: What is your measuring stick for if a “pandemic” is real or not?

With unserious measures such as masking and staying 6' apart?

Or with real measures such as martial law and field medical services. Things our military actually has planned for real pandemics.

Something novel that spready rapidly through the air and has a mortality rate in the double digits among most demographics and we will probably see it all as far as responses.

“Politicians need fears to control the population. Lawyers need dangers to litigate, and make money. The media need scare stories to capture an audience. Together, these three estates are so compelling that they can go about their business even if the scare is totally groundless. If it has no basis in fact at all. For instance, consider silicon breast implants.”

We will see ...(well hopefully not) but next time we may have the opposite: politicians and media that downplay the need for a response not based on the facts.

Imagine being upset over COVID stuff years later... That might be the measuring stick

If a progressive democrat leader is promoting fascist policies as a "cure", I know it is fake.

Didn't know a single person that died from Covid. Didn't know a single person that struggled with Covid.

Damn right! I don't know anybody that died of Ebola, or for that matter, the Black Plague. Both of those were made up by "the man". Always remember, nothing can be true if it does not affect you.

I don't know anyone who has ever died of Leukemia. It must not exist.

Your extreme skepticism of a “real” pandemic is indicative of your inability to understand complex medical events like COVID-19. Therefore, you will only believe if a pandemic is real or not if you see something more black and white like our government shooting people on sight. This is because your intellectual capacity can’t go past a zombie movie.

The point is that in a true situation where millions of lives are in danger from a communicable airborne disease, the border would not be open and would be militarized.

There are observable events that show whether the narrative being told is true or not.

Leaving the border open while preaching domestic lockdowns is an easily observable conflicting action.

Just like all religions are fake ??

And that could end up being the most costly legacy of the Covid-19 outbreak. Because if we do get hit with something that spreads like covid but is more lethal and we really do need to act fast to contain it...no one will listen

This is the mentality of people who don't prepare for hurricanes because last time the weatherman alerted everyone the storm wasn't bad where they lived.

How many people do you think died from covid-19?

---

Less than 1% of what was reported because the doctors and healthcare facilities had a financial incentive to report cause of death as covid. Most "covid deaths" were from other causes or comorbidities. Die in a car wreck - covid death. Die of cancer - covid. Get struck by lightning - covid, etc. It was the largest scale lie/cover-up I've ever seen in my lifetime. I saw this first hand when my ex wife's grandmother passed away in a nursing home. She was 100 years old and simply died of old age. Her covid test results were negative but the nursing home still listed covid as the cause of death. When we asked why, they told us that they "had to do it" because another patient on her wing tested positive earlier that week. It was all about the money. It always is.
