I know you don't think that's what happened because you were one of the ones begging them to do it. It's not trampling if you willingly give them up, right?


Nope, the claim is and always has been that the US and UK's numbers are worse than the rest of the world because they didn't lock down hard enough. Where have you been the last year?



I'm going to assume you are playing dumb again.
So you can’t name any rights you’ve lost. Cool, at least you were long winded in your response.

You’ve stated this many times. Could you please point me to study that says this. I was a history major, no virology.
Is this incorrect? COVID-19 diagnostic testing - Mayo Clinic

Yes, the mayo clinic is posting incorrect information. The PCR test says on it that it's not diagnostic. It's not a matter of "studies", it's a matter of fact. If you aren't just trolling I could explain why it's not diagnostic, or you could take a few minutes reading up on it on your own, rather than scouring the internet for a page with incorrect information that supports your beliefs.

That's funny, seems to me before covid, doctors and scientists were fully aware that PCR tests were inaccurate and had a tendency towards false positives....

Read this 2007 article from the New York Times, and explain to me what you think changed.

Now, as they look back on the episode, epidemiologists and infectious disease specialists say the problem was that they placed too much faith in a quick and highly sensitive molecular test that led them astray.

It’s a problem; we know it’s a problem,” Dr. Perl said. “My guess is that what happened at Dartmouth is going to become more common.”
Many of the new molecular tests are quick but technically demanding, and each laboratory may do them in its own way. But their very sensitivity makes false positives likely, and when hundreds or thousands of people are tested, as occurred at Dartmouth, false positives can make it seem like there is an epidemic.

“You’re in a little bit of no man’s land,” with the new molecular tests, said Dr. Mark Perkins, an infectious disease specialist and chief scientific officer at the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics, a nonprofit foundation supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. “All bets are off on exact performance.”

Of course, that leads to the question of why rely on them at all. “At face value, obviously they shouldn’t be doing it,” Dr. Perl said.

Oh, you were being serious? Ouch. It's worse than I thought. You actually believe what you are saying.

Freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, freedom to travel, being confined to our houses without due process of law, medical privacy and the right to make our own decisions based on our medical conditions, need I continue?

See I knew you were just trolling, you knew all that, unless you've been under a rock for a year.

I haven’t lost any of those rights. What country do you live in where government authorities are restricting those rights?

Yeah, you don't "lose" rights you give up freely, right? It may be more of a state issue, since some governors aren't nearly as tyrannical as others, but several states still have lock down measures in place. I know you understand all this, haven't been living in a cave for a year, and are just trolling, but this game of make believe you are playing no longer interests me.

May I add the right to walk into a store now without a mask, and immediately being asked if I've been vaccinated despite against every hippa law on the books?
 
If they kept putting people on ventilators after the first month, it should be considered murder, since they knew the pressure from ventilators was too high, and very likely killing people by that point.
You had prexisting conditions or you were over 75 they were gonna snake a tube down your throat and kill you and collect that 40k

Included in the right to medical privacy and the right to travel (move freely).

If someone tells you that HIPAA laws don't apply to grocery stores, tell them HIPAA defines who are covered entities. Only those entities are allowed to enquire about your private medical information, and they cannot give it out without your consent. Grocery stores are not covered entities, that doesn't mean HIPAA doesn't apply, it means they are not required to keep your information private, as such, they have no right to enquire. They can ask how you are doing, and that is about it. Imagine if businesses told people they couldn't enter without proof of a negative HIV test. The same people saying it's not illegal to ask about vaccination status would be having an absolute melt down.

Bloomberg columnist: DeSantis is the 'pandemic winner' despite being 'vilified in the media'

"For whatever reason, the virus did not flatten Florida the way it did New York, Rhode Island or Arizona. The nation’s third-most populous state ranks 20th in cases per capita and 27th in deaths per capita. Whether DeSantis was adept or merely lucky, the result has been something to brag about. Which, of course, is exactly what he’s been doing," he wrote.

"There is no question that DeSantis is hoping to capitalize on Florida’s pandemic record to make the case that his policies, which were embraced by the right and scorned by the left, actually worked," Nocera said. "He’ll point to the failure of remote learning in Democratic strongholds, the deaths and hospitalizations in states that insisted that people wear masks outdoors and the closings of thousands of small businesses that resulted from long lockdowns. Like Trump, he wears the criticism from the left like a badge of honor."

I noticed you didn't mention California among those states. Lol . Btw all those states have much lower relative humidity, especially in the winter.
