Anthony Fauci's Superior at the NIH Admits That the "Six Foot Rule" of Social Distancing Was Never Based on Any Science At All

I'll never forget Dr. Guy P. Benson, Ph.D., screaming at Trump on twitter for failing to mention "social distancing," which trended on Twitter as thousands of Monkey-See, Monkey-Do liberals heard the words and immediately began repeating them as if they were all degreed Doctors of Social Distancing Science.

Liberals are faux intellectual magpies -- like the birds, they have tiny brains but are attracted by new shiny objects, and steal them to put in their nests to make them more appealing to potential mates.

Twitter NPCs are not smart, they're not educated, but they're part of a cult which (claims to) worship intelligence and education.

So whenever they hear a bit of jargon from a learned profession, they all start repeating it like five-year-olds. "Kompromat." "Social distancing." "Problematic." "Performative."

They don't know what these words mean, and often use them wrong, but they know these are the Power Words of the High Priests of Intellect, and by cargo cult logic, that means if they speak the same Power Words, they will become smart too.

Be careful when you hear all the Twitter NPCs like Guy Benson repeating words they just learned five minutes ago.

That means they're ginning up a pretext for heavy-handed government coersion. If they say the right Magic Power Words, it will transform the unconstitutional into the absolutely necessary.

The left is always attempting, and often succeeding, and stampeding people with their many tales of Looming Catastrophe. To stampede a herd of horses, you don't spook the brave, stable horses. No, you only need to spook the most panicky, most neurotic, most fear-loving horses. You start them panicking, and then the rest of the herd will follow, figuring the stampeding horses must have seen something to warrant such extreme alarm.

The GOP will always have panicky idiots like Dr. Guy P. Benson, Ph.D., who desperately want to show themselves as worth of liberals' love. When they tell this kind of weak simp to panic, they ask "How insanely should we panic, sir?!"

We have to marginalize these people. We need to kick them out of the herd. They are bad for our survival.

But instead of marginalizing such hazardous cowards and simps, the GOPe elevates them and gives them their own radio show. They want us all to follow the example of Dr. Guy P. Benson, Esq.'s exquisitely-calibrated "moderation."

Francis Collins just admitted that Dr. Guy P. Benson, Ph. D., badly erred in his application of Twitter Science.

Dr. Francis Collins, the former NIH Director, testified Wednesday that the widely-promoted social distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic lacked any scientific basis.

* Dr. Francis Collins admitted that the "6 feet apart" social distancing recommendation was not grounded in scientific evidence.
* Dr. Anthony Fauci echoed this sentiment, revealing further systemic failures in America's public health response during his testimony.
* The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic continues to uncover critical failings in pandemic-era policies.

In testimony before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, Dr. Francis Collins, the former Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), admitted that the federal guideline to maintain six feet of social distancing was not based on any science or data. This admission casts doubt on one of the most widely promoted measures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Dr. Collins agreed with Dr. Fauci that the '6 feet apart' social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any science or data," noted Select Subcommittee Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio). Collins, who led the NIH's pandemic response, acknowledged that the recommendation lacked empirical support.

Collins was also asked about his Very Scientific Public Relations Smear Campaign against the (completely vindicated) epidemiologists who wrote the Great Barrington Declaration, which said that at-risk people should be isolated, but healthy people should not.

The testimony also highlighted Collins' stance on the Great Barrington Declaration, a publication advocating for focused protection of vulnerable populations while allowing minimal restrictions for the young and healthy. Collins reaffirmed his previous criticisms, referencing a 2020 email to Dr. Fauci in which he called for a "quick and devastating published takedown" of the declaration.

Then he played the same perjurious games with the term "gain-of-function" that his good Pal Fauci is so fond of.

Further, Collins engaged in semantic arguments over the definition of gain-of-function research, attempting to obscure the NIH's involvement in funding such research in Wuhan, China. This approach mirrored Dr. Fauci's defense in prior Congressional testimonies where he denied NIH's funding of potentially dangerous research.

He was also forced to admit that he and Fauci co-produced the infamous "Proximal Origins" screed, a thoroughly political and unscientific document the pair ordered their grant-receiving cronies to type up to discedit any notion that the Wuhan Novel Bat Respiratory Virus came from the Wuhan Novel Bat Respiratory Virus laboratory they were funding.

Science Itself -- I mean Anthony Fauci -- proved that, like Albert Einstein, our most brilliant scientific minds are often terrible scatterbrains.

In separate 14-hour transcribed testimony with the Select Subcommittee, Dr. Fauci further exposed systemic failures within America's public health systems. Fauci claimed he "did not recall" key COVID-19 information over 100 times and admitted that the social distancing guidance "sort of just appeared." He also defended his testimony regarding NIH's funding of gain-of-function research in Wuhan, despite evidence suggesting otherwise.

BREAKING.🚨@COVIDSelect releases testimony of Dr. Francis Collins, former NIH director who ran America's Covid response.

Highlights:
• 6-feet social distancing made up
• Wuhan lab leak not 'conspiracy theory'
• Fauci had agenda to discredit lab leak
• Fauci lied
• NIH… pic.twitter.com/ycFSZKrTQr

Some kid's science project was the source for the drinking straw panic. The kid was like 8 or 10. I'm guessing there wasn't a lot of scientific rigor there, either.

(Which is fine, honestly-- gradeschool science fair projects have much lower standards than, say, college work. The problem is them being used for fascist policies.)

83 Anthony Fauci's Superior at the NIH Admits That the "Six Foot Rule" of Social Distancing Was Never Based on Any Science At All

Yeah, we all knew this 4 years ago when they first announced the BS policy. It was rumored to be from some stupid High School science project from years ago or something and was said to be stupid at the time. Yet, just like every single other policy forced on the public during the Plandemic, it was always BS and never based on anything scientific. It was purely "political science".

85 Wasn't there some group of "scientists" that changed the definition of "gain of function?" I vaguely remember Fauci had a hand in guiding that group into their change of "science."

Then Fauci got to shake his head incredulously at Rand Paul and tell Rand he had no idea what he was talking about as Rand said Fauci funded "gain of function."

86 In separate 14-hour transcribed testimony with the Select Subcommittee, Dr. Fauci further exposed systemic failures within America's public health systems. Fauci claimed he "did not recall" key COVID-19 information over 100 times and admitted that the social distancing guidance "sort of just appeared." He also defended his testimony regarding NIH's funding of gain-of-function research in Wuhan, despite evidence suggesting otherwise.

20 Fuck you, Tony.

30 Even if it *did* "just sort of appear" and wasn't manufactured by Party-affiliated people and agencies, it was your damned *duty* as the Leading Light of American Science to wade in and say, "whoa, whoa, whoa, let's pump the brakes because there's no evidence that any of this true." But you didn't. You used your position and the subordinate power of other agencies like the CDC to go enforce every last bit of it, and used people's jobs and the police as cudgels to ensure compliance.

100 "Airborne" was another one they changed the definition of in order to insist that COVID could somehow travel across the Walmart and murder everyone.

IIRC the WHO was one of the holdouts because they were not convinced that globs of mucus being shot out of the nose or mouth and then landing on surfaces after gravity took over qualified as "airborne." They quickly came to their senses, though, and globs of spit and mucus were "airborne" the same way a thrown rock is "airborne"

The Walmart by us did that as well. The Sams in Sherman TX had a person at the front door counting people and they would only let so many people in at one go. If you were over 50 you got to go to the head of the line before 10 AM. They had no idea how many people were leaving the store though because they didn't have anyone at the exit door counting.

I was happy to mask up, obey the lines and and social distance for the first 2 months.

It didn't *cost* me anything (except the price of masks).

It was something Whitmer did in May 2020 that tore it for me.

However, for 2 more years I was always properly masked up at a job site.

All of that shit was so stupid. So was limited hours for supermarkets. It guaranteed an increase in density - exactly what you *shouldn't* want during an outbreak.

If a supermarket sees, say, 5,000 customer per day with a quarter of them before 08:00, 10% of them after 20:00 and the other 65% throughout the day, then:
06:00-08:00: 625 customers per hour
08:00-20:00: 271 customers per hour
20:00-22:00: 875 customers per hour
All Day: 312 customers per hour

Now restrict business hours from 08:00-19:00, which happened in a lot of localities. Now the all-day average - assuming no increase, which is unreasonable when the supermarket is the only thing open - is 385 customers per hour. More density.

The whole thing was patently stupid from the start. I bet it was appealing to the supermarkets, though - they got to cut hours (and likely reduce personnel costs) without any blame or market response because they hid behind the local governments' skirts.

Actually, as a real scientist, he is something of an incompetent. The late Kary Mullis thought so, and Kary had received the Nobel Prize for developing the PCR technique (which was a research too, and Mullis himself said it was bad for use as a diagnostic tool).
There used to be a funny You Tube video of Kary disparaging Fauci's abilities and intelligence, that he made back in the 1990's (and then someone put it on You Tube). I think it has since been taken down.

I was put at a separate table for Christmas dinner 2020 because my niece was afraid. She got COVID (not from me) 2 months later.

But it hurt especially because at that time I was 1600 miles away and only saw them once a year.

236 Cohen admitted to committing federal tax evasion and making false statements related to a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) application from 2012-2017. However, the bombshell dropped when defense attorney Blanche questioned him about his 2018 guilty plea. Initially, Cohen had maintained that his plea was free of external pressures.

Today, however, he confessed that this was a lie crafted under duress—duress that involved direct threats to indict his wife if he refused to “flip” on Trump.

I found it curious how quickly the mask became a fashion statement because you could get masks printed with whatever design you fancied (people made a lot of money off this, I'm sure).

So it became part of one's ensemble when they walked out the door. "What mask should I wear that goes nicely with my sweater today?"

263 We can print money responsibly to fulfill all our progressive policy requirements. We have been indoctrinated to transfer our income and wealth to the top continuously. The fact is, we can print money responsibly without borrowing money from the oligarchy. The notion that a sovereign nation like the United States should refrain from printing its own money to fund deficit spending is a flawed and outdated economic perspective.

Critics of printing money often invoke fears of hyperinflation, drawing misguided parallels to historical examples like Weimar Germany or Zimbabwe. However, these instances of hyperinflation were caused by unique circumstances, such as reparations in Germany and a collapse in productive capacity in Zimbabwe, which do not apply to the current U.S. economic context...as long as there is slack in the economy—underutilized labor and capital resources—additional government spending can be absorbed without leading to significant inflation.

Current inflation is not driven by excessive government spending but by corporate greed and supply chain disruptions.

I only got lectured once, and it was by a male Karen - the worst kind.

I was in line to pick up a pizza. It was pre-mandate, but masking was "encouraged" by the CO health department. I didn't wear one. I was one of a few renegades in line.

This male Karen with his ill-fitting mask floating on top of a beard stopped by and said, "you know that we're supposed to, like, shame people who aren't wearing masks, right?"

I turned to him and very calmly said, "No, I didn't. I cordially invite you to take your shame and cram it up your ass. Now step away from me. Now."

He blinked silently for a second and then wandered off.

I suspect that if more people had done that, it might have short-circuited the entire damn year-long mess. I dunno, though. So many people enforcing this crap just expected compliance and could not respond at *all* when they didn't get it. That they got it initially was, I think, key to the whole thing.

There is a strange man on the internet who explains this such:
Only one strain of flu is active at a time
The main way of determining the difference between a general upper respiratory infection and the flu is with a flu test.
Flu tests for the Avian flu was removed from the market prior to 2020 due to contamination and never reissued until recently
COVID PCR was run so many cycles to guarantee any viral infection would come up COVID
Covid had a low fatality rate in tracked cases, but in general it was pretty nasty in how many it killed

His conclusion is that COVID was a cover for a release of an "improved" avian influenza, which was hidden by removing the tests from the market and the warnings from the public health system

370 I work at a supermarket. We stayed open during covid but operated under corporate and government "guidelines" regarding the 6 foot rule. We received signs to mark aisles as one-way and put them up. The signs were regularly ignored by employees and customers. Nobody was punished. Signs were occasionally accidentally knocked down (quit laughing!) but never replaced. Eventually there were zero signs so if an order came to take them down, which might have happened but i never saw or heard of it, it was ignored. We recently remodeled and found a dusty case of those signs and tossed them in the dumpster.

371 In the earliest days of covid, when even Fauci was saying no masks except in medical settings...Someone asked about distancing, the actual Practicing Doctors said..."Arms length" just to be safe, and wash your hands, keep a clean house/workplace, nothing Drastic is indicated.(But if you were sick? Don't spread it, don't cough/sneeze on people...usual common sense, common courtesy practices)
As the result Govt people decided to "Double that, Just to be safe", hence the 6ft rule, initially just for Govt locations, then expanded to all locations receiving Govt funds...finally made mandatory EVERYWHERE.
The earliest doctors facing/treating Covid learned right away that the best test was BloodOx, quick drop....you have it. Cheeeep easy, non invasive, and 100% determinative. If your blood oxygen is normal...no need to do anything different than you normally do...though a bit of responsibility about following the basic hygiene rules taught in every preschool were always/still a good idea.
