My man, I don't know where to start with you. Lockdowns worked. Look no further than Southeast Asia. Look no further than Spain or Italy. It was only when the lockdown measures are removed that the virus crept up again.The articles you linked... the first is from October (5 months ago) and is written by Andrew Mark Miller. Check out his background a second, and then try to take the guy seriously. He writes some of the most biased articles for the most biased rag in DC. Furthermore, he quoted a guy from the WHO... and we ALL KNOW how you feel about the WHO based on your posting history... but now they matter? Examine why you feel this way now. Furthermore, that gentleman says his comment was taken out of context. He goes on to explain that lockdowns shouldn't have been the PRIMARY measure for tackling the virus. He never said that they don't work.The second article is from September (6 months ago) and is an opinion piece authored by a big bank guy who idolizes John Galt. He also was among the deadest wrong about the financial collapse in 2008.And you see neither of these articles as problematic? Seriously?

Italy is on wave 3 now and Europe is a sh!tshow. SE Asia, yes. Europe, not so much.
there is tons of data and stories from many different authors from many different publications. the differences between lockdown and non lockdown are not that stark. meaning, is/was it worth it? this one from december 2020https://www.aier.org/article/lockdowns-do-not-control-the-coronavirus-the-evidence/newsweek january 14, 2021"Astudy evaluating COVID-19 responses around the world found that mandatory lockdown orders early in the pandemic may not provide significantly more benefits to slowing the spread of the disease than other voluntary measures, such as social distancing or travel reduction."https://www.newsweek.com/covid-lockdowns-have-no-clear-benefit-vs-other-voluntary-measures-international-study-shows-1561656
I think part of Europe's problem these days is poor vaccine distribution and vaccine reluctance around the negative reports over AZ. If I am reading the data correctly, the US has vaccinated three times as many per capita, and the UK four times.
It's the internet. You can find a bunch of shills who will say anything, and someone who will publish it. Who is writing the article, where it is published, and why they are pushing their information is very important to the validity of the article. Just because someone put something on the internet doesn't mean it is valuable.

Check his twitter for his credentials, and a ton of insanity.As for the second article, you included the first paragraph, but the last two paragraphs are very important to the article. "The study was conducted by researchers affiliated with Stanford University, and was co-authored by Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of medicine and economics who has been a vocal opponent of coronavirus lockdowns since March.Bhattacharya was also among a group of scientists who wrote The Great Barrington Declaration, a controversial statement that encouraged governments to lift lockdown restrictions to achieve herd immunity among young and healthy people, while focusing protections on the elderly."Res ipsa loquitur

i think we need to scrutinize some of these so called "guru's" and/or "experts" a little more. just because they've been around for so long doesn't necessarily equate to being right. as a matter to the contraire, my fear is they develop agendas or fall behind the research. one interesting matchup had the late dr kary mullis discuss his concerns about dr anthony fauci BEFORE the pandemic. dr kary mullis received a nobel prize in chemistry for the development of the pcr testhttps://roundtablereport.com/?p=6582
I’m just glad the anti-govt folks are back to criticizing the govt instead of setting policy in the middle of the pandemic.
"It was Fauci, Your Honor, he's the one that did it!"Fauci has becomes the right's Emmanual Goldstein, someone they can focus all the anger and blame on to distract from the disaster the was Drumpf's months and months failure of a response to COVID. What simpletons.
Anytime your news source has not been updated in 3 months (literally the site has not been updated in months, and all the articles written by the same guy), plus use the person referenced believes there is no connection between HIV and AIDs ya might be on a bit of thin ice.
tell me what "your news source" you are referring to? i have multiple, but that's ok, most of the "other" news sources are keeping the unwashed right where they want them. hopefully many of us will be able to look back on this as a learning experience. those who have not learned, well, God help them and us
Other than discouraging mask use (let the record show that it was Fauci who announced initially that masks were of no value), having Fauci and Birx as the face of covid was the greatest error Trump made in handling the pandemic, hey?
