Freedom and Truth or Slave to Fear

A Comprehensive Look at The Cost of Lockdowns

WHO Official: Stop Using Lockdowns As Primary Virus Control Method
COVID-Cultists love the World Health Organization. Except when they don’t. The same can be said of every medical journal or association. When the output matches the preferred narrative, it’s true love. If not, well, kicked to the curb; that’s fake news. So, what do we make of this?
Gretchen Whitmer Says … The “Devil” Made Her Do It
Gretchen Whitmer says the devil made her do it. MmmmmHmmmmm, that’s right. Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer says her strict lockdown orders are Trump’s fault. The devil made her do these evil things. But they are for your own good.
Michigan’s Whitmer Announces Three Week Lockdown (Is Your State Next?)

COVID Vaccine Claims 90% Protection But – But… No Vaccine Provides More!
This song is not a rebel song, says BONO as do I; this is not an anti-vaxxer post. It’s just the damn truth. Klan COVID has a prophylactic it claims will protect you from THE VIRUS 90% of the time. That might be great for people who are at high risk from this flu, but for most of us, “nothing” has better odds.
Vehicle Insurance Might Be Invalid For Non-Essential Driving During COVID19 Lockdowns

COVID19 “Spikes” Prove Lockdowns Were Unnecessary and a Complete Waste of Time
Confining healthy people who have nothing to fear from an infection caused massive economic and human damage to millions for nothing. Real harm. Once allowed to emerge from hibernation, their reward might be to find themselves infected anyway and to no bothersome end. Certainly not a mortal one.
Governor Sununu, You Have Some Splainin’ To Do!
Just as when Ricky Riccardo told Lucy she had some splainin to do when she made a mess of things (way back when in the “I Love Lucy” TV series), Governor Sununu also has some splainin to do (as well as his advisors) for the mess they have put NH in. Their policies are killing … Read more
Does NH Need This? Ohio Asks Employers to Report Employees Who Don’t Come Back to Work

Notable Quote – Orrin J. H. Johnson
On Nevada about to open up: emphasis mine: These shutdowns were always meant to be temporary, emergency measures, like a donut spare tire you can only use until you get to the shop.
