That's trite. The spider and fly are different animals, humans are the same, therefore a modicum of "normalcy" is both reasonable and expected. It's why we have strong revulsion to specific behaviors in people when we see them.

Fauci was pardoned to prevent the same lawfare the left used against Trump, even though he isn't guilty they could harass him for decades. I have nothing against RFKj wanting to improve health with his changes to regulation and emphasis on clean living. I oppose his anti-vaccine positions as the foolishness they are. It's almost like these issues have nuance to them, something Lifesite and Petey McCullough obfuscate to take their patsies' money.

The truth has a way of always coming out.......... We "Conspiracy Theorist" have been vindicated!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biden's vax-focused COVID-19 website obliterated by White House, replaced with 'true origins' virus guide
'This administration prioritizes transparency over all else,' a senior admin official says

The Trump administration rolled out a revamped COVID.gov website Friday showing the "true origins" of the coronavirus, while admonishing Democrats and the media for discrediting the theory that the virus leaked from a lab and alternative health treatments, and for imposing strict mandates.

"This administration prioritizes transparency over all else," a senior administration official told Fox News Digital Friday. "The American people deserve to know the truth about the COVID pandemic, and we will always find ways to reach communities with that message."

The website, which previously had focused on promoting the coronavirus vaccine to Americans, now walks readers through evidence supporting the lab leak theory, how former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci promoted the idea that COVID-19 originated naturally, former President Joe Biden pardoning Fauci for "any offenses against" the U.S. he may have committed, and providing details on the origin of the "social distancing" rules and mask mandates.

It's not controversial to say that the virus leaked out of a lab. 
But you cross the line if you say China did that on purpose. No country was harmed more by the pandemic than China was. It may have been a lab leak, but if it was, it was an accident.

As for the rest of it, the lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccines all saved lives.  They all had downsides also.  "Was it the right thing to do" is a value judgement.  "How much is a life worth" is a value judgement. "When should the government leave me alone to let me make my own value judgements, and when should the government step in and enforce their value judgement" is yet another value judgement.  Science can't answer any of those questions.

The initial leak may have been an accident however you are naive as hell if you be believe China did not weaponize the use of the virus after it escaped.

It would seem that in this case that you're the fly..... I'm just doing what's been my normal for my entire life, and it's causing CHAOS in your mind, (That if you even have 2 brain cells to rub together) and has been for a while judging from your past postings directed at me..........

SHOCKING Revelation Leads to Potentially Thousands More COVID Deaths Linked to Former NY Governor ‘Killer Cuomo’s’ Policies

We learned on Tuesday, that former New York Governor “Killer Cuomo” was referred to the DOJ for criminal prosecution related to his actions during the COVID crisis.

Governor Cuomo, for months, desperately tried every trick in the book to hide the actual number of New York seniors who died under his March 25 Department of Health nursing home mandate. His own Attorney General, Letitia James, now herself under a criminal referral to Pam Bondi’s DOJ for mortgage fraud, issued a report in January 2021, which stated Cuomo had under-counted the nursing home deaths by as much as 50 percent.

“An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato

I read something today that referenced how people back in 2020-21 were spending so much time outside, especially in national parks. They couldn't go to work so friends and families spent time together outside.

One of the few positive things that came out the lockdowns was people who weren't essential employees and working their [BLEEP] off (my husband being one of them) spent quality time together. Nothing changed for us in that regard but it was nice seeing neighbors out walking the neighborhood and parents playing with their kids.

That was the positive portion of the event. I live on a cul-de-sac. and in the afternoon we would each gather at the end of our driveways. People would have a few adult beverages, play music, watch the kids play hopscotch of all things. etc. All 20-30 feet apart.

I was quite annoyed my in-laws would invite us over but we all had to stay outside at 6' or more apart. None of us were going anywhere in 2020 to be infected by covid or anything else. It was hot as hell and we were all sweating our butts off and I was like, this is ridiculous. 

I didn't get it until summer of 2021 when my husband brought it home from work. His shift partner came in not feeling well but had a negative test result until the following day. In fact, both times I got it my husband brought it home. He's such a giver. Lol. 

I especially liked the lack of traffic when I did go out and about. Gas was cheap as heck, $1.42/gal for most of 2020, so I'd fill up the tank of my Silverado and just drive around.

When they kept liquor stores open at the beginning of the pandemic, it was to ensure that alcoholics wouldn’t overflow the hospitals even more by suffering from alcohol withdrawals.

Almost like they made rules to keep people out of the hospitals. Weird how they would do that in a pandemic.

Pandemic School Closures: “Abundance of Caution” Reveals the Bad Science

...Still, something didn’t feel right. Zweig watched his two elementary-school-age children “slowly wilting in the gray light of their school-issued Chromebooks.” How long would they be cut off from the touch of a playmate or face-to-face contact with a teacher? Concerned and curious, Zweig set aside a book he was working on and began calling experts and asking questions. Did closing schools really slow the progress of the virus? Why did all U.S. schools shut down in a single week in March, even in regions with virtually no Covid cases? What science supported the CDC’s heartless recommendation that even two-year-olds in day care must wear masks?

The deeper Zweig dug, the more his sense of astonishment—and then of outrage—grew. As early as March 2020, it was clear that Covid, unlike influenza, posed little threat to children. Nor were schools major centers of virus transmission, studies showed. In other words, the scientific evidence supporting long-term school shutdowns was weak, the author discovered, while the policy’s negative impacts were potentially devastating.

Zweig pitched his editors at the New York Times: How about an article detailing the scientific case for reopening schools? They weren’t interested. Nor were several other outlets he had worked with. Eventually, the article ran in the tech magazine Wired. The piece had little impact on the national debate over school closures, not because it wasn’t persuasive but because there was no national debate over school closures.

As in other elite communities, Zweig’s neighbors posted “In this House We Believe” signs in their yards stating, “Science Is Real.” Government officials, including New York governor Andrew Cuomo, relentlessly insisted that their policies were based on “data.” But when Zweig and a handful of other researchers convincingly challenged the scientific case for school closings, the blue-state voters and policymakers took little notice. The media, which normally prides itself on curiosity and skepticism, refused to question the overnight consensus. “The narrative was set,” Zweig writes.

In contrast, European policymakers took the research involving Covid and children seriously. By May, most European countries were beginning to reopen their schools. Liberal Americans usually think European nations are more enlightened on issues of social policy. But U.S. media and public health leaders mostly ignored the European example. When pressed, they waved away the disparity, insisting that European countries had “controlled” the virus prior to reopening schools, unlike the U.S. under the erratic President Trump. It wasn’t true, but it fit the narrative. American schools stayed closed.

Most U.S. schoolchildren wouldn’t return to full-time, in-person school for more than a year. That interregnum, we now know, seriously degraded their social development, educational attainment, and mental and physical health. All too predictably, disadvantaged children suffered the worst declines.

You’d think these facts would have put liberal America in an uproar. Yet, even today, this policy disaster rarely comes up in those circles. When it does, Zweig writes, “Many on the left argue that the prolonged school closures were a fog-of-war decision made on the best available information at the time.” That’s a comforting claim. But, again, it’s simply not true, he argues. The best available information at the start of the pandemic militated against prolonged school closures. The evidence supporting that conclusion only grew stronger as the months went by. So, Zweig wants to know, “What led the U.S. to be if not uniquely, then certainly exceptionally dysfunctional?”...

CDC removes COVID vaccine recommendation for healthy children and pregnant women
Health officials cite 'common sense and good science' in major policy reversal

The COVID-19 vaccine is no longer recommended for healthy children or pregnant women, according to new guidance from health officials.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a video on X Tuesday announcing that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has removed the vaccines from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for those groups.

"Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children," said Kennedy in the video, in which he appears alongside FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya.

"That ends today — it's common sense and it's good science," Bhattacharya added.

As a reminder, the FDA and CDC have both ALWAYS said that the numbers shown in those systems are not valid for statistical analysis. You might as well be posting the CBO projections on the Trump Tax Cuts for all the good they do.

"VAERS accepts reports of adverse events that occur following vaccination. [b]Anyone, including healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public, can submit reports to the system. While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness.[/b] Vaccine providers are encouraged to report any clinically significant health problem following vaccination to VAERS even if they are not sure if the vaccine was the cause. In some situations, reporting to VAERS is required of healthcare providers and vaccine manufacturers.

[b]VAERS reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable.[/b] Reports to VAERS can also be biased. As a result, there are limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind."

So quit using their stats in the way the SPECIFICALLY tell you not to.

The very second the government tells me to quit using their information in certain way and to use it in another way tells me that I'm on the right track....... All those alphabet soup agencies in DC are always in CYA mode so...... I have ABSOLUTELY no trust in them
