New research confirms 66% of Danish adults caught COVID despite extreme mandates
It wasn’t that long ago when health experts and government officials told us that we had proven, clear-cut tools to stop the spread of COVID. Force everyone to wear a mask, and get everybody vaccinated.
Anthony Fauci, in a White House briefing in early 2022, said, “We believe we can get there because we have the tools with vaccines, with boosts, with masks, with tests, and with antivirals.”
Rochelle Walensky, then head of the CDC, said something similar in 2021: “What I really want to emphasize in this moment is that we have the tools we need to address the Omicron variant. And those tools include what we have been saying…”You really do need to get vaccinated…you need to practice all of those prevention measures, including wearing a mask in public indoor settings.”
During a Senate hearing in 2022, she repeated that phrasing: “Our ability to manage this virus today is in large part due to the tools we have, vaccines, tests, treatments, and masks.”
There was, of course, no proof that masks or vaccine uptake would prevent COVID infection or transmission, and plenty of data demonstrating the opposite. But politicians and their public health advisors committed down the path of masks and vaccinations because backing down would mean admitting they were wrong.
Common sense will show you that mask wearing people are more at risk to disease than non mask wearing people.
