Why So Many Covid Predictions Were Wrong

Some of the predictions were made to support "Non pharmaceutical interventions" which served purposes completely other than "public health." Lockdowns and masks are purely theater and ineffective against an airborne virus that transmits between rodents and humans easily. Saying so 2 years ago was not "misinformation" or "attempted murder, nor is it today.

  The word “pharmaceutical” doesn’t appear anywhere in the article and it’s clearly about financial predictions when you’re focusing on masks and lockdowns. So uh, get lost troll?

The winter of death never quite showed up eh? Fully vax in my jurisdiction is 85%. I like many people did the right thing and got the shots before they started coercing and removing human rights. How many went for a booster? 47%. They aren't even providing 4th booster stats because I bet those numbers are really low. In fact, vaccination over the last month is really low for any shots. I can't wait until they redefine fully vax to be more than 2 shots. It has to happen right? Imagine another chinese virus lab leaks another experiment and this time it's literally going to kill 1/3rd of the planet unless we get vaccinated, wear masks, and properly sanitize our hands. 1/3rd of the planet will die. Politicians lying to us and removing our human rights means nobody will be lining up to go get a shot this time. I very much doubt the government could bring a mask mandate back without another protest immediately driving over to the government buildings and informing the politicians they will need to use force, again. Despite the hypothetical being an extremely dead virus. If the politicians would like a different result, perhaps they should find a time machine and not do what they did.
