COVID & MASKS - TRUTHS & FALLACIES

SORTING OUT THE HOKUM:

• The positivity rate as used in practice is statistical garbage.

  - The rates are not based on percentages of the population because they do not know those percentages.

  - They use the percentage of tests with positive results without knowing how many are asymptomatic and how many never had it.

  - Often the asymptomatic were not allowed to 'waste' the tests.

  Abolish the positivity rate.
• Could the vaccines be fooling the virus tests?

  - Do the vaccines cause the body to produce things the tests react to?

  - Are vaccinated people getting the delta variant without symptoms?

  - Are vaccinated people with asymptomatic delta variant spreading it?

  - Are liberal legislators requiring wearing masks to keep the population under their control?

  What do we really know?
• Masks are being totally wasted when they are used where they are not needed.

  - Outdoors away from other people

  - Outdoors doing work in your own yard or garden

  - Driving your own car while alone or with members of your household

  - Inside your own home

  Overzealous legislators often required wearing a mask whenever outside one's own residence.
• People who must wear masks in places where other people are present:

  - People who are not vaccinated or have not finished the vaccination sequence.

  - People who have been fully vaccinated for less than two weeks.

  - People who are in jurisdictions or in businesses where masks are still required to be worn.

• People who should wear masks in places where other people are present:

  - People who do not know the vaccination status of everyone in the area.

  - People who are in areas where many members of the public pass through.

  - People in areas that still require masks.

• The Ad Council did its part in totally confusing people by misstating the necessary prevention procedures.

  - They spread the false idea that people need protection any time they are outdoors.

  - They spread the idea that hands must be washed after every cough or sneeze.

  - They used stupid jingles that made the dangers look ridiculous.

  They oversimplified the requirements, causing people to think they are more stringent.
• Notice how conservatives want to preserve your civil rights while liberals want to take them away.

  - Democrats spread the false idea that people must always be protected from harm (and freedom).

  - Democrats want to control your lives for as long as they can get away with it.

  - Republicans want to take away the force of law and have people voluntarily do what is necessary.

  - Democrats scream that the Republicans want to endanger everyone with freedom.

• Notice how Democrats are lying about what Republicans are saying about the vaccines.

  - Republicans are saying that mandating the vaccines and mask use are wrongdoing.

  - Democrats are equating the protests against mandates to saying not to get the vaccines.

  - Republicans want to take away the force of law and have people voluntarily do what is necessary.

  - Democrats scream that the freedom to choose endangers everyone.
