Unsurprisingly, with exchanges like the one Jacobs described above in mind, millions of Americans won’t be trusting health officials, “experts,” or anyone claiming to speak on behalf of science in the near future.
These people insisted we wear masks. In fact, they demanded it.
But a January 2023 study entitled “Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses” found that “wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza-like illness (ILI)/COVID-19 like illness compared to not wearing masks.”
They demanded we social distance, but Fauci, when questioned by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on his measure of keeping people 6 feet apart stated, “It sort of just appeared.”
“I don’t recall, like, a discussion of whether it should be 5 or 6 or whatever.”
Committee Staff Director Mitch Benzine asked, “Did you see any studies that supported 6 feet?” Fauci replied, “I was not aware of studies that — in fact, that would be a very difficult study to do,” per a report from PolitiFact.
The American people endured tyranny.
We were the victims of power-hungry bureaucrats who fawned over themselves as they ruled with an iron fist.
What they did was evil.
