Also, you are grossly misinformed about Covid spread.
- Covid is most certainly transmissible outside if you are in close proximity talking to someone who is shedding the virus and neither of you are masked. Outside is better than inside due to airflow, but to say that outside spread can't occur is simply not factual.
- Cloth masks, though far from perfect, actually did help with the reduction in the spread of the virus, especially when everyone was masked. The type of cloth, weave of the cloth, design of the mask, and number/type of layers used for the mask contributed to its efficacy. Although it was a bone-headed mistake to not make clear to the public that N95 and KN95 masks needed to be saved for our healthcare workers until production of said masks could be ramped up to create enough for everyone, cloth masks, coupled with social distancing, did help with limiting the spread of the virus.
- The Covid vaccines are safe and they have been tremendously helpful in keeping people out of the hospital and alive. And before you subject me to a rant about the small number of individuals who have been injured by a Covid vaccine or any vaccine, I'll remind you that THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE! There are always some small risks with any vaccine or any medicine for that matter! Have you ever read the "Cautions and Warnings" portion of a prescription medicine insert? Perhaps you ought to just give up on all medical care if you're this uneasy about a vaccine because virtually all medicines, treatments, surgeries and such come with some risks.
Also, never once did I hear it being said that the Covid vaccine would prevent transmission. I heard our medical officials (which, hopefully I don't need to point out, does not include Trump) say that there were HOPES that it would, but it was always with the caveat that only time would tell once enough people were vaccinated.
There was no narrative. There was a learning curve, as there will always be when presented with a new virus. The world I live in is imperfect, but, generally speaking, full of many people who do their best with the tools and knowledge that they have, to help others. I'll stay in this world, thank you very much.
lol omg Jamie — if there was no narrative then why were top level scientists at Stanford, J Hopkins, etc.. silenced on Twitter or pulled from YouTube, etc.. for “challenging” the narrative?
You are in so deep it’s truly shocking. The attempts to silence the Great Barrington Declaration says everything.
But you’re so deep probably even factual history will not get through..
Take care and please mask inside your own car, better safe than sorry right? 😂 ✌️
lol so you respond without even listening to an award-winning journalist (left wing) at NPR for 25 years..and somehow I’m the one who’s misinformed.. sheesh.
Alden,
That is correct. Facts don't LEAN.

Alden,
You did not disappoint as I fully expected ad hominems from you.
Gosh what substance! However will I recover from such well tuned barbs of sarcasm and intelligent thought!
Oops false alarm - just a typical fact-less copout.
🙄
Here’s the bias proof if you can handle it (prob not but since I’m an optimist)..

Alden,
Your optimism aside, you're just simply uninformed on the matter. I'm sorry.
lol so you respond without even listening to an award-winning journalist (left wing) at NPR for 25 years..and somehow I’m the one who’s misinformed.. sheesh.
Jamie, I regret to inform you that you’re actually the one here that’s completely misinformed on this topic.
