    When you refuse to accept reality. You just ramble along…

    LOL!

    We knew before the pandemic. During the pandemic. And now after the pandemic.

    Masks do not work to slow the spread of an airborne disease like Covid. Every doctor knew this and learned this in medical school. It is why the second their hospitals removed the requirement they removed the mask.

    The great virtue experiment was a complete failure!

    Try refuting the info. I see you can't so you've resorted to this feeble attempt. Swing and a miss! This is awesome to watch! Thanks for the laughs.

    I agree. Some of these Karen's that think school closures were a good idea are so obtuse. It's quite annoying.

    All you have to do is follow the money and you will see why certain steps were put in place. It all comes down to the money!!!! And the intellectuals on here that do research will disagree, but I have had enough research done on agricultural products that if you follow the money the research gives the result you pay for!!

    Not only does it show unvaxxed consistently dying at higher rates, look at the rapid decline of death rates late in 2021. Let's see . . . . what was the event that coincided with the vast reduction in deaths? :emoji_thinking:

    Exactly. AZcat even wonders in writing why he keeps arguing with Q, then continues to argue with Q. All one has to do is observe the posting pattern to recognize when a person is merely seeking attention.

    Yep! It is sad. But money can buy a “peer reviewed” study all day long. Not saying all are bad studies. Just saying those who control the narrative can absolutely create a narrative.

    This is why the hard numbers mattered so much when applied to the narrative. It was clear something was not right.

    LOL!

    When you can’t argue you attack the opponent. The strategy of a loser who can’t win with their own arguments.

    Well done again.

    You admitted yourself that you thought school closures were good at first. I have to ask, who here do you think believes schools should still be closed because that feels like the debate you’re engaging in. No one here is arguing that. I think you’re closer to agreeing with the majority of the board than either you realize or will admit. Not sure if it’s ignorance that won’t allow you to see it or childish trolling.

    I did and still do believe schools needed to be closed until we had more data and then needed to understand the data we had. I was never comfortable with, “kids don’t spread this thing, but we don’t know why”. My son went back as soon as Georgia reopened schools, even when given the option of virtual learning for an additional semester. So I’m really not sure what you think you’re arguing with me about. Schools that stayed closed over a year was too much, I agree with that. I’ve never once argued any other stance, you’ve just never bother to actually attempt to understand who you’re arguing with or why. Everyone that doesn’t agree with you 100% is the enemy.

    And just like clockwork, you have proven my point. This is exhibit 5,423 folks. Hint: I set it up and you walked right into it.

    Schools should have opened in fall of 2020 like they did in FL. You can see for yourself who on here thought that was wrong. Well, they were proven to be wrong. Germany apologized for keeping schools closed. The CDC and Fauci should've done the same. When they do then we can move on.

    You have yet to engage in the thread except for ad hominem and straw man/red herring comments.

    Par for the course. And what you do when you do not have an argument…

    No, she means the ones who can't form a coherent thought and post memes when she doesn't have anything intelligent to say.
