COVID Lies

I'm quite irritated by all of the COVID lies continually being spewed by the media, doctors, and so called experts.  I understand the media lying, after all they are an arm of the Democrat party.  That's all they know how to do is lie to further their agenda.  And I understand why so called experts lie about COVID, as they are probably paid a lot of money to do so, by the left, and perhaps they relish the fame or a chance to be on TV.  But it surprises me that most doctors comply with, and propagate, the COVID lies and fear mongering.

Every doctor that I have been to since the COVID pandemic started is always in full "hazmat" gear.  My mom's doctors won't even see her in person.  Even in the doctor's office they will only see her virtually.  Yet, if you actually get COVID, they won't treat you with medications that have been proven to be effective against COVID.  Why?  Because the left told them not to and lied about the drugs being unsafe and ineffective.  Which is easily disproven.  They complain about COVID hospitalizations, yet they won't treat people with the safe, effective drugs that would easily keep them out of the hospital.  It makes no sense.

What irritates me the most amongst all these COVID lies is the lie that people who don't wear masks, socially distance, or get the COVID vaccine are selfish.

I've said this before, but, masks don't do much against viruses.  Viruses easily go through masks.  Masks can be effective against bacteria, which are much larger than viruses.  But, you can't do much to stop a virus.  Data shows that lockdowns and mask mandates have no effect against COVID.  There was no significant difference in states with the strictest of lockdowns and mask mandates and states without lockdowns and mandates. In fact, states without lockdowns and mask mandates did slightly better than strict draconian states.

Now we have a surge in a mutated form of the Chinese created coronavirus which they call the Delta variant.  We are back to strict mask mandates indoors and outdoors.  Has it stopped or significantly decreased the spread of the virus?  No.

As a medical student, I did a one-month rotation in infectious disease.  I was exposed to highly communicable diseases.  When we went to see a patient with tuberculosis or meningitis or some other highly contagious disease, it wasn't the patient who wore a mask.  Outside the patient's door would be disposable gowns, gloves, and masks.  Before entering the patient's room, we would don these items to protect ourselves from the infectious disease.  Not to protect anyone else.

When I was in the hospital myself, and had acquired MRSA and VRE (antibiotic resistant bacterial infections), it was the same story.  Everyone who came to visit me had to wear disposable gowns, gloves, and masks to protect themselves.  But I did not.

My point is, that masks are worn to protect the wearer, not others.  The exception being in the OR where surgeons and staff wear masks to prevent bacterial infections in open wounds.

 Another irritating lie that the left is harping on now is that you are selfish if you don't get the COVID vaccine.  This is as ridiculous as wearing masks outside.  Vaccines protect the person who gets them.  Not anyone else.  Yes, herd immunity is a thing.  But no one should rely on herd immunity to protect them from any infectious disease.

If I want to be protected against measles, for instance, I go get the MMR vaccine.  I don't tell all my friends and neighbors to go get the vaccine to protect me.  And call them selfish if they don't.  That's absurd.

If I hear there is a measles outbreak at Disneyland, if I'm up-to-date on my MMR vaccine, should I be worried about going to Disneyland?  No.  Because being vaccinated against measles, my chances of contracting measles from someone at Disneyland are slim to none.

So, why is the left/media demonizing people who choose not to get the COVID vaccine?  If it is effective against the virus, and you're fully vaccinated, what are you worried about?  You are protected.

There is nothing selfish about not being vaccinated.  The unvaccinated are only putting themselves at risk of contracting COVID or any other communicable infectious disease for which there is a vaccine.

The left/media/liberals/democrats are milking this Chinese lab created viral pandemic for all it's worth for their political gain.  They are spewing lie after lie to induce fear, panic and contention in the American people and the world.

Stop believing the COVID lies.  Don't fear an infectious disease very similar to the flu with a similar death rate.  Stop worrying about your neighbor protecting you from COVID -- which they can't and don't.  Make your own health care choices, and let others make theirs.

That's my two cents.
