On May 13th, the CDC, out of the blue, announced that if you have been fully vaccinated you don't have to wear a mask. The CDC continues to ignore the millions of people who have already had Covid-19 and do not need a shot. I absolutely think they should toss in if you have had the virus but heck that's just me... Someone who actually follows the science.
People who have had the virus and gotten sick should not be getting vaccinated with an emergency use only vaccine. Furthermore, vaccines typically don't kill hundreds as this vaccine clearly has.
Why haven't we heard more about these deaths?
The narrative that the vaccines side effects and deaths are overstated, just isn't true. The media saying the governments vaccine website is self-reporting and thus unreliable isn't true either. Spend thirty minutes on the VAERS website and you will quickly understand this data can in no way be easily dismissed.
For example, knowingly filing a false VAERS report is a violation of Federal law (18 U.S. Code § 1001) and is punishable by fine and imprisonment. I know this because it's emphatically stated by the website every time you hit the next key to enter more data.
Furthermore, healthcare providers are required by law to report to VAERS any adverse event listed in the VAERS "Table of Reportable Events Following Vaccination."
Follow the media narrative one would have to believe people are risking imprisonment to falsify adverse Covid-19 vaccine reactions and or medical professionals are risking their licences to make false reports. Neither one of these narratives make any sense. Just the effort to complete the online form, coupled with the multiple warnings if fines an imprisonment tells me the mainstream media is lying.
***** Please don't mistake my concern with vaccinating those who have already been sick, are pregnant, are under 30 or are currently feeble as anti vaccination. I'm pro vaccination when the benefits outweigh the risks. I don't know why everyone collectively seemingly has forgotten this vaccine had emergency use only authorization. *****
So, now that our premiere government health agency, who's mission is "To promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability" has spoken, how will we as a nation respond? Will the vaccinated stop wearing masks
Do you think "Karen's" will?
Do you think the large "blue" cities will?
Do you think the Speaker of the House will?
No, No and thus far No.
Me? I never thought any government had the right to mandate masks especially outdoors where it made absolutely no sense whatsoever at any time. Furthermore, essentially quarantining the healthy with lock downs was something beyond the scope of our form of government but that didn't even stop blue mayors in red states.
Should government provide information, data and recommendations to the population?
Absolutely.
Government telling telling businesses to follow new health guidelines?
You betcha.
Telling the healthy to stay home?
What? No!
Creating snitch lines, arresting a mom with excessive force for not wearing a mask while out side practicing social distancing watching her kid play football, hindering the free movement between states? Are you freaking kidding me.
During this pandemic the government sent mixed messages and overstepped it's authority. Be it putting up road blocks at state boarders, shutting down church services while encouraging BLM protests to renewing 30 day emergency orders for 14 months.
The 15 day nation wide shut down to slow the spread will go down in history as one of the biggest lies in history. Treating the entire nation as one homogeneous locality was beyond dumb.
It would take almost a year for the virus to spread into the heartland of America. By the time the virus made it to the interior the heartland no longer had the patience to continue the mitigation tactics even though it was their turn to experience the pandemic. How many more lives could have been saved had the lockdown been applied as needed, if at all, versus the entire nation all at once?
Maine's Governor is not going to change our masking rules until Monday the 24th. Why wait 11 days? What is wrong with our elected officials? How stupid do you have to be to run for office? I've come to the conclusion that democrat leaders think they are smart but aren't while republicans leaders know they are stupid and quietly surrounded themselves with smart people.
Governor Janet Mills hasn't listened to anyone outside her own advisors thus far so why start now? She has not meet with either party for over a year. She cracked down when it wasn't needed and let up when cracking down was needed. When Maine actually started to have spread she was forced to lift some mitigation rules. She hasn't come close to following the science and Maine has missed out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to expose "Vacationland" to thousands of new people fleeing population centers throughout New England and New York.
Clearly our Governor and her administration are claiming victory over Covid-19. It's so sad to point out that only a few places in the state actually followed her edicts. Her impact was essentially limited to Maine's handful of cities and what she could enforce statewide such as the beyond stupid closures of our beaches, parks and other state run agencies. Now all proven to be the opposite of best practice. Being outside in the sun was pretty much the only proven way to beat this virus.
CDC finally admitted their biggest lie that outside spread was "less than 10%" when in fact they absolutely knew it was one thousand times less and likely we'll below .1% for over a year. My guess it's much lower than .1% outside in the sun and that one lie kept millions of people inside and fearful... Which wasn't healthy.
How many people died because of that lie?
Last but not least... They are pushing vaccinations for kids now. Joe Biden himself is urging children 12 and older be vaccinated.
NO!
This is still an experimental use only vaccine. We should not be experimenting with our youth.
Lastly, our Governor is lifting the Facemask and social distancing statewide mandate Monday but still requiring kids in school to continue to wear masks for the rest of the year.
Why? The science science has been clear for over a year that kids aren't at risk of death from this virus. More Maine teens gave committed suicide than died of Covid-19. Covid-19 is less deadly to children than the common flu. As of May 25th no Mainer under 20 has died of Covid-19 and only 23 have been hospitalized as stated by Maine's CDC Communcations Director, Robert Long on May 25, 2021.
Kids in general aren't getting sick and even though the state says it happens, it's clear they don't spread it at school as much as some assume. Couple this with Maine's teachers being among the very first to get vaccinated and you just have to wonder why we aren't back to normal with our public schools?
Watching kids practice outside sports wearing masks is just sad. Just last week I saw a group of local college kids walking on the sidewalk on a warm sunny day wearing masks. This makes absolutely no sense! I'm fearful that our future generations will not be thinking for themselves.
Note: The requirement to wear masks in airports and aboard aircraft continues... Which also continues to muddle the federal government's guidance. Either the vaccination and natural immunity work or they don't... You can't have it both ways.
