  1. When will the ‘professionals’ engage with the science and legal system.

    The science does not support their contentions… and the laws clearly do not. Sadly, both science and the judicial system move slower than mainstream news.

    Note: Most doctors do not have lab or research knowledge with immunology or virology… they take directions from big pharma… and so do the public health offices.

    1. Pretty big statements. So what do you do? Are YOU a healthcare professional? A virologist? Immunologist? Or do you just like spouting conjecture?

    1. Yeah, we are just supposed to forget how the narrative keeps changing.

      I thought the shut downs were supposed to allow the hospital’s to get ready for a surge in hospitalizations. They should be ready by now shouldn’t they?

  2. She talks like every Kindergarden teacher everywere. PS dosnt this sound like Invasion of the body snacthers.

    1. @boratilike Sounded genuine enough to me. Who would you prefer to deliver the message? The message remains the same regardless of the person delivering it.

    1. @Dman s and when you click on a youtube video about covid, that is the definition of ‘asking for more’

  3. Feels like she’s talking to infants, all I can hear is her begging to address emotions; suffering, believe, care, a better future…. Sure, sounds cute, but give me numbers, give me facts, this is not kindergarden.

  4. As they went from pandemic to casedemic, they have switched from dark winter, to long winter. This is a bold move cotton, let’s see how it plays out.

    1. I suspect that it’s the message that makes you sick, not the messenger. Personal attacks are completely pointless.

    2. @Ok Karen Comets? Don’t they orbit the sun or something? I think they mostly consist of ice, which is why they leave a visible trail. Okay – the relevance to this?

  5. So they found a doctor who’s ready to sell her soul. how come they never interview doctors with a different opinion? there’s hundreds out there of all branches.

  6. Cleary paid to say whatever was on the paper she is reading from. She sounds like an actor at an audition for a big role.

  7. 281 new cases looks like closing the gyms and restaurants really helped, they enjoy this so much it’s insane.
