Suppression of Free Speech on Covid

[SkepticThinker]

The real problem is the money trail between big pharma and government regulators.

Which government regulators? Where? Which big pharma? Where?

Which government regulators? Where? Which big pharma? Where?

In the United States.

 

[SkepticThinker]

In the United States.

The problem there is that this was a global pandemic and most every country in the world besides the US has a completely different healthcare system because we all have universal healthcare, for the most part. The US is the outlier.

On average, seatbelts save way more lives than they take.

It reminds me of an argument I heard back in the
day that seatbelts kill because if one's car stalled
on railroad tracks, & a train is coming, & one
can't undo your seatbelt, then one dies.
Therefore seatbelts are dangerous.
It astonishly mimics the anti-vax arguments.

The problem there is that this was a global pandemic

While it was reasonable to think so in the early days, with the benefit of hindsight that no longer applies.

The US is the outlier.

No, Fauci was at the epicenter of it all.

Do you claim it never was a global pandemic,
or just that it no longer is?

These teachers that do these things are in private religious schools too, remember. There was a Christian elementary school teacher and pastor who passed a background check but was arrested for having, and making, child pornography. This scourge of predators crosses all demographics. People who want to blame the public schools for what also happens in private schools need to be aware that private schools will not necessarily protect their children.

Can't deny that. - But there are far greater issues in the public schools

Trust in the "authorities" still plays a significant role in human behaviour. It takes some inner discipline to put the majority opinion aside for a bit and look at the facts objectively.

But the public schools have to accept whoever walks in, whereas parochial and charter schools don't. Also, the public schools have to offer a variety of programs because of the diversity of the children coming in whereas the parochial and charter schools don't. Also, if the public schools want to dismiss an unruly student, the family of that student can take the board to court, whereas the parochial and charter schools don't. Also, the public schools legally have to put students of different backgrounds together whereas the private schools don't. Etc. Etc.

Yes... public schools have lost their capacity to control right and wrong, whereas private and religious schools still can control.

that is why public schools have to deal with:

Controversial teacher with Z-cup prosthetic breasts returns to the classroom at new school

The Canadian teacher who sparked controversy after photos showed her in class wearing Z-size prosthetic breasts last year has landed a new teaching gig.

On a side note... the Christian school we use to be part of, took in the public school rejects and got turned around. We believe it is the God factor!

So, what's the point? afraid of big boobs, are ya?

And public schools do try and control right and wrong, so your stereotype is just that-- a stereotype. And racists LOVE private schools, and the proof of that is what quickly happen after Brown v Board of Education.

BTW, I am not accusing you of being racist, just for the record.

Um no, it was a global pandemic.

No, Fauci was at the epicenter of it all.

Maybe in the US. But there's a great big world out there that some Americans don't seem to know exists.

Anyway, Fauci is/was more than qualified to handle it.

That doesn't seem to be an answer to the question.

"Um no, it was a global pandemic"

It became a global pandemic. At first, in the early days it wasn't.

Every epidemic & pandemic starts out highly localized,
often with a "patient zero". Pandemics aren't global
until the disease spreads that far.

Perhaps that's to verbose.
I should'a said....
Duh!

Kinda weird that needs to be pointed out, isn't it?

Which is why some didn't take it serious at first. If it had been taken seriously it wouldn't have been as bad. But like we humans are prone to doing, we don't take many things seriously until its getting out of hand.. Global warming is a good example of that.

I know many who don't take Covid seriously....except
as a nefarious government plot using a bogus disease
to take away our freedom.
One nurse I talked to said she had patients dying of
Covid, denying that it's a serious disease. Go figure.
