Leana S. Wen, a physician and former Public Health Commissioner for the City of Baltimore, wrote a piece in the Washington Post demanding that we put on masks.
Her tone was such that I am sure the S stands for Sister Mary Elephant, the Catholic teacher Cheech and Chong mocked in the 1970s.
She took the kindergarten approach in threatening group punishment because a few people have exercised their right not to be vaccinated.
Wen wrote, "The CDC is trying to urge localities and businesses to reimplement indoor mask requirements given surging coronavirus infections. That’s the right policy, but it’s using the wrong explanation. The vaccinated are not a major source of spread. Even if every vaccinated person puts on a mask, that’s not going to solve things when the vast majority of transmission is by the unvaccinated.
"And that is the actual problem that the CDC is trying to solve: It wants to get the unvaccinated to put on masks in indoor spaces. Without proof of vaccination, the only way to reliably to do this is to ask the vaccinated to also don our masks. Relying on the honor system was a big fail, and the best way to curb the current surge is to get everyone to mask up again.
"That’s what the CDC should have announced: We need a return to indoor mask mandates not because the vaccinated are suddenly a problem, but because we don’t trust the unvaccinated to voluntarily do the right thing. It’s not a commentary about the effectiveness of the vaccine, or even the trickiness of the delta variant, but rather about the failure of unvaccinated Americans to fulfill their societal obligation to act in the interest of everyone’s health."
The "honor system was a big fail"?
What honor system?
Under federal law no one has to tell you if they have been vaccinated.
The only honor system that failed is the public health system that Wen and the rest created.
The very first thing Tony the Traitor Fauci told us was a travel ban won't work.
Then he told "60 Minutes," "There's no reason to be walking around with a mask."
Wen and the rest of the medical bureaucracy know cloth masks don't work. They also know social distancing is a joke.
They demanded to shut down the economy for a couple of weeks to slow the spread of the virus, and that became a permanent situation in California and elsewhere.
All their talk and orders for the past 16 month have failed. We were told if we did everything they said we should do, there would be 200,000 deaths.
More than 3 times as many people died.
Wen, Fauci, and all the rest of them do not know what they are doing. Rather than admit that truth, they insist on masks that don't work and promote an unproven social distancing protocol.
What they lack in knowledge they make up in vanity. Fauci preens on CNN and sneers at the public for daring to ask, doc, why does none of this work?
The only mistake the public has made is in trusting public health officials.
The public owes them nothing. No one should be forced to be vaccinated, and no one should have to tell any government official if he has been vaccinated. It is called freedom.
NBC reported, "At least 125,000 fully vaccinated Americans have tested positive for Covid and 1,400 of those have died, according to data collected by NBC News."
The Washington Post reported, "CDC study shows three-fourths of people infected in Massachusetts covid-19 outbreak were vaccinated."
Wen is blaming the unvaccinated for the failure of her and the rest of the public health administrator industry to handle covid calmly and rationally. Instead we get all sorts of different advice depending in what the politics are that day.
Remember those clap on/clap off light switches?
Public health administrators are doing mask on/mask off.
The unvaccinated are the new Jews, scapegoats for the failure of Faucism to protect the masses. Yes, you probably should get vaccinated. I did. But it is your choice.
The unvaccinated are not the problem. The problem is her and all the other Sisters Mary Elephant who were so cocksure about the virus -- and so dead wrong.
No one should trust them at all.
You forgot to mention that she is wrong about the unvaccinated being the majority of spreaders. Turns out the CDC is now concerned about vaccinated people being the super spreaders, spreading virus to both vaccinated and unvaccinated. Also, the majority of deaths out there now are in the vaccinated group.
ReplyDeleteThey have not come out and said it outright, but they are now afraid of the vaccinated public, and that is the reason for asking them to mask up.
It's turning out the duration of the efficacy of the vaccines is a lot shorter than was originally thought. The companies knew long term efficacy was something the short testing time of the vaccines couldn't reliably predict. It's why Pfizer, the least potent of the vaccines, has been the first to ask for boosters at 6 months. There are some reports coming from "other places" that suggest that people who get covid-19 after their vaccine has worn off are likely to get sicker than the unvaccinated do.
DeleteThe sudden reversal again to demanding masking is a sign of panic. Masks don't work, but they have to "do something". The real panic will come when they no longer can blame unvaccinated people for the outbreaks, and people realize getting the vaccine the first time ties you to needing it every six months for life. Or until another experiment is forced on the public. And you're 12.
“The sudden reversal again to demanding masking is a sign of panic.” Their panic is caused by the realization that if life goes back to “normal,” they will lose their reason for “emergency” changes to voting procedures, like mass mailing of ballots, drive-through voting, unmonitored drop boxes, accepting ballots without postmarks, unmatched signatures, etc. Panic theatre worked so well for them last time, and it’s the only card they can play to steal the 2022 election.
Delete“getting the vaccine the first time ties you to needing it every six months for life.” Just like that first shot of heroin keeps you coming back for more. Except the “pusher” in this case is the federal government. (Not doctors, per se, because Co-vax shots were on “patient demand,” not physician-ordered, and most of the shots were given by a nurse or pharmacy tech.) Getting people addicted to opioids was quite profitable for the opioid manufacturers, just as it will be for the Co-vax manufacturers,
DeleteOur government has become a quackocracy.
ReplyDeleteBravo. Take a bow.
DeleteCross bred with a thugocracy.
DeleteLooks to me like the evil Teachers' Union tail is wagging the inept but equally evil government dog. A partial solution would be for everybody with children in public schools to take them out. If they had no children to indoctrinate the schools would have to shut down.

The only reason that the death toll from the wuflu is so astronomically high is that very few people died from anything else. When our government shells out our grandchildren’s tax dollars for each wuflu death, we shouldn’t be surprised to see the numbers of deaths attributed to wuflu skyrocket.
ReplyDeleteAnecdote:Recently, I was admitted to hospital for tests and had to be tested for wuflu. I’ve never been nor ever will submit to this fake vaccine because other childhood vaccines such as polio and small pox worked so well that I never had to wear a stinking mask, social distance, or concern myself with a “variant.” Anyway, my wuflu test had to have been negative as no one said another word to me. Seems I was right all along. I have lived my life free of fear and as maskless as possible and that has made all the difference.
You’re no fun, Sophie. Room 101 for you!
DeleteSophie (also known as Robert Frost)...maybe we can just go to the usual flu urging: "just stay home if you are sick". Let's!
DeleteIt’s long past time to abolish the CDC. It’s filled with useless bureaucrats who do nothing to improve the lives of regular Americans. I suspect there are other candidates within the government deserving of the same fate. State and local governments also need such a housecleaning.
ReplyDeleteCandidates, Jeffery? The word is agencies and you only want them replaced with a Commie dictatorship that people will want to "protect" them.
DeleteAs for housecleaning, let's start with people like you.
There’s no Jeffery here, edoucher. It’s only the voices in your head, which nobody else can hesr.
DeletePeople hated the lockdowns and the masks and any who did their homework learned it was all a crock.
ReplyDeleteThe Feds and a lot of states miss all that power and want it back. Too bad a lot of states like MI are taking measures the next Ubersturmbannfuhrer wannabe won't have the opportunity.
Why get vaccinated when it offers no sure protection and may result in a serious adverse effect? Why demand a vaccine, when the vaccine does not work with anything near 100% reliability against the delta variant. This makes no sense to me whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteHell Yes You’re Right Don!!!
ReplyDeleteI would call for an uprising but all the American Intelligence Agencies (including the USPS’ Postal Inspection Service) who are searching comments on websites for signs of dissent against the illegitimate Pantload Regime would then possibly put a target.
What did that jack-off Cory Booker say one time when he made a meme of himself?
“I am Spartacus”
We need our Spartacus. While some like to bitch, I think we know who our Spartacus is; and we need to do more to have his back.
Left out of this discussion (as is too common), is how easily treatable and preventable C-19 is. flccc.net

"That by vaccinating them, such risk is curtailed--the risk being primarily to adults. A society that contemplates putting children on the frontline of protecting adults, far less embarks on such a strategy, is a society not worth saving. If we don't put children, the young of the species, first above all others, frankly what's the point of anything? ...Leave the children alone. LEAVE THE CHILDREN ALONE."--Neil Oliver
That is amazing point! Hadn't really thought of it like that before.
DeleteSo to be protected, a P100 particulate mask half is rated at 99.97% efficient at 0.3 micron particle/aerosol diameter. The airborne Covid-19 minimum aerosol particle size is 0.5 microns; more restrictive mask filters are available. N-95 are good down to 0.3 microns, if available, and do have a tight fit to minimize infiltration from around the mask. The store bought masks requires two masks to meet the N-95 filtration criterion, however their leakage around the edges are significant. Obviously neckerchiefs, as masks, are worthless for aerosols.
ReplyDeleteAt one point there was a concern that the aerosols could infect you via your eyes, so if that is still medical science, a full face mask as I wore for years at work, is needed with the P-100 or better filters.
Lot's more bilge in the comments section going to prove none of us really have a clue about the facts. That certainly includes the NYT and the CDC so it's no wonder there are so many untrue statements here in the comments section.
ReplyDeleteOK. And you use the possessive form of the word "lot" why, exactly?
DeleteI have no comment at this time.

ReplyDeleteI find this comical. Does anyone remember what brought about the HIPPA medical privacy laws that are frustrating the left? It was the AIDS pandemic. Gay community wanted a law to protect the medical privacy of AIDS victims. Now that same law is frustrating them at every turn.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest lie of all was and is that we are all at risk from COVID. No, it is less than 1% of us. A lot less than 1%. We don't even know how much less because we don't know how many of us have been exposed, but every time someone tries to find out the result comes back as "much more than we thought." Yes I know it's dangerous for certain people so you can stop screaming. For almost everyone, it isn't dangerous, which is another reason mandatory vaccination is evil and pointless.
