I've been shoving the historical year over year weekly influenza death stats down every throat I can.
Watching the cognitive dissonance kick in when they see the truth in the numbers but don't want to admit the whole thing was a charade is something to behold.
It is one of their deities, as they are very much a polytheistic cult, bent on the violent destruction of all who do not follow their ways, and even go so far as to sacrifice children to their gods of wealth, comfort, and convenience.
Don't lock anyone into the corner of defending their own egos in light of their having been suckered and looking like fools. Many people would prefer to stay wrong than admit that they were fools and suckers.
Don't involve the person that your speaking to as an inferior position.
Instead, convey the presumption that they're learn-ed .. like you (and everone else who's not an idiot), .. present a good gloss of the facts for them, and then wrap up with derision and/or appall for the people who bought into the scam.
Towards the end of the encounter this leaves the person pliable for not wanting to be 'one of those idiot people', and later, on their own, they'll adapt towards your position as if they 'knew it all along'.
The IT guy where I work tried using the zero flu cases as a pro mask argument and I laughed in his face. He’s also says cases are rising for Covid. So Covid cases rising while wearing masks but zero flu cases? Seems logical.
Now a lot of people are too attached to the idea it's real. They would feel dumb for doing this for a year for no reason. Subconsciously their mind fights anything that would change that idea.
I was talking to a co-worker from Canada. She was legitimately panicked that she and her husband may have been exposed to covid, they’re both young and healthy.
I told her that I had it and it was just a mild flu and her reaction was like she had never heard this before. Seriously she deeply believed that getting covid was basically a death sentence. After talking to me for 5 minutes she said she was very relieved. She had never spoken to someone that had covid before.
Yeah I love brainstorming weird conspiracy scenarios and had the thought that Covid doesn't actually exist. It's just the flu and the Globalists are just using it to push lockdowns and the Great Reset.
Yep, it’s the common cold... and old people die of colds, some years more than others. But turn on the TV, and it’s like the elderly are now fallen immortals.
Even if the virus was as deadly as the plague and as contagious as laughter...
The government has no right to decide what risks a free people ought to be able to subject themselves to.
People always have a right to take their own precautions based on an evaluation of risk but not to force those changes on others.
I was masking up and staying inside when I saw folks collapsing in Wuhan before and as the government told us they didn’t do any good because it made sense in the face of so many unknowns.
But as the picture became clearer it became obvious that such precautions were unnecessary while the government started mandating these liberty killing measures and lockdowns.
My body my choice. The root of morality lies in consent.
Hello from Houston. 99% of people are still wearing the masks inside shops. I don't and have no problem. Some morons are still driving alone with their masks on and the complete Medical Center is in state of paranoia and their staff members are walking around with masks and gloves, from their buildings to their fcuking garage
I was at REI in Dallas this last weekend, maskless, and needed help in the bike section. An employee walked up and asked if we had masks and we all said no. He stood his distance and continued to awkwardly help us. He went to look in the back for what we needed then suddenly the manager walks up to us. He was all super chipper and told us while we aren’t required to wear masks by law, the employees have the right to refuse to help customers who refuse to wear a mask. We told him we’d already been helped and he repeated himself again, reiterating how employees have the right to refuse service. Again, we told him thank you and that we had already been helped. It was just a very awkward experience.
Yet, I walk in Home Depot and the grocery store in my suburb and it feels somewhat normal. Home Depot especially. Masks to no mask was about 50:50 ratio.
Thanks - yeah let's start a pastebin or something and get a list going starting with the D-FW area? If it grows we can do something more serious. Every time I want to go buy something I have to do that drill finding a place that doesn't require masks or wondering if I really need something so badly to don one.
I ride bikes casually which tends to be perceived as more "lefty" and I got reamed at a local Trek shop for a lvl 1 tuneup + new chain. I walked in the shop and the guy says "do you have a mask" and I was like, dammit I really need a new chain etc. and put one on. But I think he remembered that, and I was wearing my 5.11 hat too so I could just hear him thinking some faggy liberal shit in his head. Total prissy snot. Come back in and some chick with blue hair and hairy arms closes me out... just completely crap service and overpriced work.
So I found a local place in Denton that is way more chill (no mask) and cheaper. Problem solved.
If we're all smart about this and patronize zero places which require masks while spending all our money on those that don't, we'll be sending a strong message.
Depends on where you are - the Conservative areas do not wear masks - most restaurants don't have the mask sign and those that do, it is ignored - most places are open 100% occupancy. The Waters / staff wear masks, but that's it.
I'd say that wherever the voting map is blue, people are still blindly wearing their masks.
Amazing how many "conservative" ducks are in Texas, talk big game, and are still scared to take of their damn mask when out shopping or doing whatever. Texans, this is as easy of civil disobedience as it gets, who cares if the stores has a face muzzle policy. Walk in and take back your freedom. Literally nothing will happen.
Except the flu is influenza and Covid is a coronavirus.
Look, it's all being manipulated and overblown, but these types of statements aren't factual. If we're going to show they're lying by using facts, we can't just go making up facts.
"The Flu" technically refers to Influenza virus infections, sure. When someone says they have "the flu" they are referring to fever and upper respiratory symptoms, which is often caused by a coronavirus infection, even before covid-19. Technically what they have is "a cold" caused by coronavirus, but rhinovirus "colds" and coronavirus "colds" are are different.
It's not unusual to have flu like symptoms from a coronavirus "cold". What most people do is call a fever a flu and no fever a cold. But a cold from coronavirus often causes fever.
So my point to YOU is what is going around is an "ordinary flu", in colloquial terms. Most people don't go and get a laboratory test to determine exactly what they have, because it's minor. And I would most definitely call my symptoms from covid "minor".
“Correlation is still not causation. This is not to argue masks do or don’t work, but rather it’s to reiterate that mask tyrants and politicians drunk on emergency powers do not care about science or data, or even flat curves and ICU beds. Their arguments are based on fear and control.”
Masks is just the government signaling they're doing something about covid not because of it's use but because of that impression. When there was mask shortages people followed the social distancing and the washing your hand constantly rules (I prefer the keep your hands to yourself over the frequently wash your hands). So what do we get after "masks" have been pushed as the key to lowering the curve, 4-5 people standing in circles yelling at each face to face. People touching everything again like children. The idiots who act like masks make them invincible is the reason the curve was never flattened, the person without a mask is most likely more conscientious of all of these facts than the masked npc
They're running out of methods to artificially prop up the stock market and economy with the passing of the final "stimulus".
They also couldn't do it to sooner or it would look totally unnatural, but things are at the point that even a minor economic crisis could severely topple the house of cards, and few tools are left to alleviate another downturn with interest rates at such low levels.
That and all the people that went to get tested everytime they stepped outside are now furiously obsessing over getting a vaccine, they want whatever talisman is available to go back to "normal".
I wouldn't be surprised if we see the CDC come out in the next few months backtracking everything at the direction of the Fed and Biden's handlers.
this SCAM is now drilled into every half wits mind... they attack us free thinkers every chance they get.. speaking truth is now the same as babbling insanity
Wait when all the Covid infested “immigrants” cause a huge spike in the numbers. I bet that faggot in office shits everything down again. Seems fitting????
Woah, just like they wanted. Look at how the cuck lifter the mask mandate after the election just to make it seem like the biden admin is doing a great job.
About a year ago before we got mask mandate in Germany I noticed that people totally obeyed the 6 feet distancing rule, but once they started to wear masks nobody cared anymore. That made me guess distancing works better than those stupid masks.
As of last Tuesday, Texas had administered more than 9.3 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine. More than 6 million people have received at least one dose, and more than 3 million have been fully vaccinated, according to state health officials.
Texas population is 29 million. Add vaccinations to number of recovered COVID cases and you nearly have herd immunity.
Its almost as if covid was inflated this entire time and since Trump said it'd all go away after nov3 they waited to make it all go away until he was gone just to continue making him look bad
Yeah, well, we still have the biden immigration camps that are yet to be released upon us. I'm pretty sure when the hordes of infecteds are released, that they'll blame the covid spike on conservatives.
In my liberal shithole state of Massachusetts they claim that cases are skyrocketing and that people under thirty who are perfectly healthy should stay indoors.
I think they’re losing control and trying to consolidate power
Huh almost like it follows the seasonal flu chart.
EDIT: Don’t take my word for it
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/weeklyarchives2020-2021/ILI01.html
hmmmmmmmmmmm
I've been saying that for a year.
I've been shoving the historical year over year weekly influenza death stats down every throat I can.
Watching the cognitive dissonance kick in when they see the truth in the numbers but don't want to admit the whole thing was a charade is something to behold.
Covid is the lefts religion.
Really is. It’s become a cult
The branch covidians
The COVID Lords
It is one of their deities, as they are very much a polytheistic cult, bent on the violent destruction of all who do not follow their ways, and even go so far as to sacrifice children to their gods of wealth, comfort, and convenience.
I do this, but get told flu cases are down cause of masking a social distancing...
Don't lock anyone into the corner of defending their own egos in light of their having been suckered and looking like fools. Many people would prefer to stay wrong than admit that they were fools and suckers.

Only literal brainless retards ever believed COVID was anything but an enormous psy-op and power-grab.
I love asking retards where the flu went. It's always a highly contradictory answer
Masks and social distancing stopped the flu bigot
Magically even in states without mask mandates somehow.
The IT guy where I work tried using the zero flu cases as a pro mask argument and I laughed in his face. He’s also says cases are rising for Covid. So Covid cases rising while wearing masks but zero flu cases? Seems logical.
Yep. I heard the "it's masking that's eliminating flu" answer. Fucking rock bottom IQ
Lol masks and lockdown can't do jack shit to stop surging covid cases, but they really work well to stop the flu
Nevermind how it basically mirrors flu season on the graphs
I get completely blown off when I bring it up. Absolutely not one person has attempted to even make anything up to answer me
People don’t want to even talk about it. They look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them it’s fake.
Now a lot of people are too attached to the idea it's real. They would feel dumb for doing this for a year for no reason. Subconsciously their mind fights anything that would change that idea.

After talking to me for 5 minutes she said she was very relieved. She had never spoken to someone that had covid before.
It's being sold as the bubonic plague in Canada for sure.
I've gotten "because people stay home, and also because everyone wore their mask" pretty often
they revamped it as covid so they could make a shitton of money with the new vaccine
And destroy the western world
Hahaha lound eyes think fru is covid. Hahaha, Amellican suckas. Rockup in you house hahahaaaaaa
But you don't understand our prevention methods stopped the flu
Anyways we gotta stay at home for the flu
Fuck that graphic (I'm colorblind).
It’s the best graphic that tax money can buy.
Fuck that graphic. And I'm not colorblind. That graph just really sucks.
Yeah I love brainstorming weird conspiracy scenarios and had the thought that Covid doesn't actually exist. It's just the flu and the Globalists are just using it to push lockdowns and the Great Reset.
It's the flu with a marketing campaign.
Extremely accurate
I’m sure covid exists. I’m also sure it’s just another virus in the Petri dish that is the seasonal cycle of illnesses.
Yep, it’s the common cold... and old people die of colds, some years more than others. But turn on the TV, and it’s like the elderly are now fallen immortals.
Don't cloud the issue with logic.
As a nurse.
Covid is bullshit.
Also my opinion doesn't reflect my employer (already got written up twice)....also BS.
for what?
Wrong opinions are becoming a fireable offense.
It’s the flu.
Guess where all the disposable masks are coming from? China...
This. Un fucking believable. We shipped in millions of masks from China after they hoisted this bullshit on us.
PCR = Politically correct results
Even if the tests were accurate..,,
Even if the virus was as deadly as the plague and as contagious as laughter...
The government has no right to decide what risks a free people ought to be able to subject themselves to.
People always have a right to take their own precautions based on an evaluation of risk but not to force those changes on others.
I was masking up and staying inside when I saw folks collapsing in Wuhan before and as the government told us they didn’t do any good because it made sense in the face of so many unknowns.
But as the picture became clearer it became obvious that such precautions were unnecessary while the government started mandating these liberty killing measures and lockdowns.
My body my choice. The root of morality lies in consent.
I love when people typo that to “PRC test”, which is far more appropriate for the Chyna virus
Yeah this is common and hilarious. I don’t correct people when they do that.
Same with Texas. And the CDC changed the social distance rules to 3 feet but the schools have yet to adjust. Seems like such an easy thing to do, too.
Glad my kids aren't in public.
Child abuse
By the state and school yes
That’s exactly what I meant hahaha, I get people thought I meant homeschool though oops. I am 10000% for homeschooling
Hello from Houston. 99% of people are still wearing the masks inside shops. I don't and have no problem. Some morons are still driving alone with their masks on and the complete Medical Center is in state of paranoia and their staff members are walking around with masks and gloves, from their buildings to their fcuking garage
But can stores refuse you service? If so then that’s the same as a mandate.
Maybe, but they never tried. I just walk in, and don't care. Don't look at people, not waiting, not explaining. Just doing my business
I was at REI in Dallas this last weekend, maskless, and needed help in the bike section. An employee walked up and asked if we had masks and we all said no. He stood his distance and continued to awkwardly help us. He went to look in the back for what we needed then suddenly the manager walks up to us.

I'm in Dallas, hello fren!
Check out Panevino off the DNT and Belt Line, no masks and delicious, reasonable food: https://www.panevinoosteria.com/
I've decided this is one of the few things we can all do...support the businesses that behave reasonably and be very vocal about where they are.
Thanks - yeah let's start a pastebin or something and get a list going starting with the D-FW area? If it grows we can do something more serious. Every time I want to go buy something I have to do that drill finding a place that doesn't require masks or wondering if I really need something so badly to don one.

I'm in the Chicago burbs. You will not be serviced/allowed to purchase without a mask. Been like that for awhile.
My wife and I visited the Knoxville area a week ago and went into a walmart...
50/50 mask no mask with no one batting an eye either way. It was surreal.
Yes, places of business can. King Abbott traded a statewide mandate for a business mandate.
If we're all smart about this and patronize zero places which require masks while spending all our money on those that don't, we'll be sending a strong message.
They can, though I think a lot of them won't bother if you go in without.
Which is also a reason that a mandate was never needed except to trying to pander to scared liberals who might make noise if you don't.
Private companies can do whatever they want.
So they can discriminate indiscriminately? Same thing as your rights being trampled
Depends on where you are - the Conservative areas do not wear masks - most restaurants don't have the mask sign and those that do, it is ignored - most places are open 100% occupancy. The Waters / staff wear masks, but that's it.

Don't worry, America is open. Millions of third world migrants who hate whites are currently flooding into the country.
Fuck masks and fuck CNN.
Yep, ordinary flu.
Except the flu is influenza and Covid is a coronavirus.
Look, it's all being manipulated and overblown, but these types of statements aren't factual. If we're going to show they're lying by using facts, we can't just go making up facts.

So maybe you should relax your "ackshuallys"?
There's no need to be rude, and I disagree.
“Correlation is still not causation. This is not to argue masks do or don’t work, but rather it’s to reiterate that mask tyrants and politicians drunk on emergency powers do not care about science or data, or even flat curves and ICU beds. Their arguments are based on fear and control.”
Huh almost like we should have stayed open the entire time
Covid cases are at 0 and always have been.
THey turned the PCR machines to 25.
PCR machine - Dominion machine. "They're the same thing" -Pam
Covid 19.....aka bacterial pneumonia
Damn Neanderthals!
It was never about health, it was about compliance.
Masks is just the government signaling they're doing something about covid not because of it's use but because of that impression. When there was mask shortages people followed the social distancing and the washing your hand constantly rules (I prefer the keep your hands to yourself over the frequently wash your hands).

Don't worry, Democrats will be releasing COVID positive illegals to invade Texas and combat this.
They're running out of methods to artificially prop up the stock market and economy with the passing of the final "stimulus".
They also couldn't do it to sooner or it would look totally unnatural, but things are at the point that even a minor economic crisis could severely topple the house of cards, and few tools are left to alleviate another downturn with interest rates at such low levels.

Some friends wanted me to go do some stuff with them in Austin this weekend... LOL NOPE. I ain't going to that place. Keep your weird away from me.
China virus is just a virus that is out there. It will ebb and flow.
the '' cure '' was actually freedom, not confinement, the latter '' caused '' '' increases '' in '' infected ''
Woah, just like they wanted. Look at how the cuck lifter the mask mandate after the election just to make it seem like the biden admin is doing a great job.
Just wait until the 5th wave! We are DOOMED!
Hm... I had my wager on the 17th.
About a year ago before we got mask mandate in Germany I noticed that people totally obeyed the 6 feet distancing rule, but once they started to wear masks nobody cared anymore. That made me guess distancing works better than those stupid masks.
Hasn't all the new flus of this millenia come from China?
Haven't they been trying to create a flu pandemic for decades?
It's almost as if it's outlived it's usefulness
As of last Tuesday, Texas had administered more than 9.3 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine. More than 6 million people have received at least one dose, and more than 3 million have been fully vaccinated, according to state health officials.
Texas population is 29 million. Add vaccinations to number of recovered COVID cases and you nearly have herd immunity.
I'm pretty sure Biden is trying to sabotage this
Its almost as if covid was inflated this entire time and since Trump said it'd all go away after nov3 they waited to make it all go away until he was gone just to continue making him look bad
But wait two weeks reeeeeee!
Yeah, well, we still have the biden immigration camps that are yet to be released upon us. I'm pretty sure when the hordes of infecteds are released, that they'll blame the covid spike on conservatives.
In my liberal shithole state of Massachusetts they claim that cases are skyrocketing and that people under thirty who are perfectly healthy should stay indoors.
I think they’re losing control and trying to consolidate power
Despite the Biden Occupations efforts to flood the state with illegals infected with the Chinese Virus
WTF, it's called SARS MODIFIED CHINA VIRUS
Learn what it is before you start taking about it
I was wondering if anyone was going to point out this two weeks thing because that's the incubation period. Glad the Federalist did it!
Didn't see a date on the chart.
Also, do ILIs include covid and the regular flu?
thanks
HAPPY TO BE IN TEXAS. MASK FREE !!!!!!!!!!
Stop saying fuckin COVIID!
This is going to be downvoted to hell, but why the heck not?
It's because of the vaccine.
The vaccine that supposedly lessens symptoms but doesn't stop transmission?
That's fake news spread by leftists
Studies in Israel showed that even the first dose of the vaccine provided like 70% protection
And it's really effective against all these "variants" too
Oooh, a funded study with a pre outcome and made up facts to support it.
Do you believe Q anon is real too?
This sub is getting so shitty
Go look at who funded that study. You'll see it's made up. Typical jewish propaganda.
But we already know you're not too smart based upon your prior question so I'll be patient with your slow learning.
In the Pfizer clinical trial, 8 vaccinated patients got covid versus 162 placebo patients.
No, it’s because they reduced PCR sensitivity on January 21st.
They did that in China in April last year.
Source? Would like to research
It’s going to be downvoted because you’re wrong and retardedz
That must be why mass sickness ends around the same time every year.
Wrong it’s because face diapers are 100% effective and we’re all wearing them!
