I can honestly say, although i know it isn't a hoax, i can see why people dont take it seriously and why they don't believe any of it. The flip flopping manner in which the CDC, Fauci, and the WHO have handled the whole deal has been nothing short of reprehensible. The fact that Fauci can come out and say everyone needs masks, a week later they don't and now they do again because, at the time, it was easier to tell people they didn't need masks rather than admit we as a nation didn't have enough for everyone.
President Trump is doing his job. It's the governors, mayors, and talking heads who need to be cracked down on.
Regardless, there's no excuse for repeating what has been known as bad medicine like it's gospel.
A month into the whole shindig the WHO spread Chinese lies in several news releases. Most reported was that the disease wasn't spread person to person whereas everyone with half a brain seeing how the lockdowns were going could tell shit wasn't adding up. They blamed a single market for the release and yet they were shutting down several cities with multimillion populations without the transmission being person to person. Bullshit. The WHO is so in bed with China it's ridiculous. The fact that the WHO's president, in an interview, refused to answer questions directed at how Taiwan was handling the outbreak by defering and/or refering to it solely as China further shows how deep the rabbit hole goes. To top it off when the interviewer keeps pressing the President he just straight up leaves the call and won't acknowledge the question when he reconnected.
Essentially 3 years of medical training compressed into several months with a focus on battlefield activities, trauma care, environmental hazards, and disease control and prevention. When I got to my unit I learned how to run and interpret all kinds of labs and tests, and for a time I was the senior authority for the medical readiness (including dental/STD testing/Vaccinations/etc) of a few companies and the subject matter expert for triage, quarantine, and hazard material spills in conjunction with CBRN.
I don’t think it’s boomers who are ignoring the evidence. I see all kinds of people acting ignorant. Of course I live in Utah where ignorance should be part of our state motto.
Never doubt human stupidity
