THE WAY I SEE IT by Don Polson Red Bluff Daily News 6/29/2021
Gaslighting
over masks, China, Fauci
Please indulge anecdotes
with a point. Maybe it’s the inner rebel accompanying my growing locks now
covering my neck and below, but I won’t wear a mask outside of actual medical
facilities, visited numerous times in the last month or so. A painful lumbar
condition and urology-related issues will remain private.
The freedom to not breath
smelly, unsanitary paper or cloth masks was rediscovered after the science of
vaccinations set in, late April. After the objectionable, silly recycling of my
own breath in the snowy outdoors at ski locations, as well as the obligatory,
marginally useful retail rules, we took the immunity personally and just
started walking in, past and through the signage and nagging (Costco was the
worst). Given the number of like-minded customers, we won.
A “gear fix” shop was
the first to insist; I refused and simply demanded to know if my ski boots were
fixed. Their designated hulky “enforcer” was dispatched to make demands; I made
my own demands; he said he would call the cops; I said “you can go through all
that, or you can simply look up my name and tell me if my boots are done.” He
relented, but lied that they hadn’t accepted boot repairs for 6 months; ok,
buh-bye.
The Costco pharmacy,
unlike the Walmart pharmacy, was adamant that I not pick up my prescription unmasked;
I refused and demanded my drug order; the manager got another manager who got
the top guy. I’m a rebel with common sense and pulled up my t-shirt, saying
“you can’t see my mouth or nose, now get me my med; I’m handicapped and have rights.”
They relented.
For 15 months of
badgering, guilt-tripping, accusations of wanting to murder fellow citizens,
demands that the unmasked be reeducated and all but wear a “wrong think” patch—I’ve
said masks were benign, a minor inconvenience. The “it’s the science” folks
remain oblivious to the scientific fact that the virus is 1000x smaller than
the mask materials, making them useless.
There has been no
discernible difference in Covid illness or death rates between mask-mandated
states and schools and those without, a massive pool of scientific data that
defies refutation. “Wake up, people: Science shows mask zealots were very, very
wrong,” by Trevor Thomas, says it all. Will they admit it? It remains an issue
as the spreading “Delta variant” (from India’s delta—but mustn’t name Covid-19
for Wuhan, China) is feeding the “anxiety-and-fear” narrative.
Not only is the World
Health Organization reverting to “mask mandates for all, everywhere,” even the
vaccinated; but places like Australia are imposing “lock downs” on millions, in
spite of the now-undeniable evidence of futility. Will “news” outlets report
the fairly benign effect of “Delta” in the U.K. and U.S.? “New Study Delivers
Kill Shot to the Leftist COVID Panic Lockdown Regime,” by Matt Vespa; end of
debate.
Thank God we were
blessed with a system whereby the states have considerable autonomy from the
central government. It’s nearly lost on the miseducated, media-persuaded and
ideology-addled that our Constitutional Framers were determined that, by states
forming the national government (not the other way around), there must be tools
for the states to retain their power against inevitable federal despotism.
Canada lacks those protections and preachers are jailed; we should protect our
independent rights.
It's fine with me if
some cling to the illusion of credibility for compromised and duplicitous
“authorities” like Dr. Fauci. Apparently besotted with his own self-reverence
and sycophantic fans, he pronounced his own ever-shifting medical opinions to
be “Science” itself. He lied to the public, and to Congress, by feigning ignorance
of the $1 million+ in American tax money that went to knowingly fund
“gain-of-function” bat research at Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). He lied
to Congress, insisting ignorance that President Trump ordered a stop to “gain
of function” funding to WIV through EcoHealth Alliance, falsely making him
blameless and Trump culpable.
He knowingly assisted
Communist Chinese researchers (party hacks with lab coats) in dismissing and
downplaying that lab’s role as the source of the COVID-19 virus. He and his
agency have no excuse or defense against charges of misleading this nation and
covering for China’s perfidy. As early as late fall, over 10,000 military
athletes went to the Wuhan area for sporting events; that city of millions was
a “ghost town” while athletes returned home with symptoms.
Honest virological scientists
(including Fauci) knew that China had flu-like infections showing up among the
WIV staff. Early analysis could reasonably have suspected a “cross species”
transfer of the “bat” virus, but not past spring, 2020. And yet, Fauci insisted
no evidence pointed to the WIV, as recently as months ago, in spite of detailed
microscopic deconstruction of the virus showing not only a humanly engineered
virus, but also reverse engineering to misdirect researchers to the “bat
market” source.
“China Lied About COVID
Again: Outbreak Might Have Begun Months Earlier,” by Stephen Green; “New
Research Shows Extent of China’s Cover-Up of COVID-19’s Origins,” by Anthony
Ruggiero; and, in an article that almost implicates Dr. Fauci in the deception,
“Early Covid Data From China (was) Removed by NIH After Request From Chinese
Researchers,” by Rick Moran. How could Fauci not have known?
Unsurprisingly, “Dr.
Fauci Is In An All Out Media Blitz To Rescue His Image,” by Dylan Housman; he’s
“on the defensive after emails were leaked revealing he downplayed the lab-leak
theory of the novel coronavirus origin.” Fauci accuses opponents of
“distortion” and, of course, taking his emails “out of context.”
I bear no negativity to
those forming different opinions; just spare me attacks on my veracity and
informed analysis.
