Covid ‘Expert’ Francis Collins Finally Admits There Was No Science For Six-Foot Social Distancing; Former Top Public Health Official Admits Covid Origins Not Settled, No Science to Back Social-Distance Guidance, and other C-Virus related stories

Covid ‘Expert’ Francis Collins Finally Admits There Was No Science For Six-Foot Social Distancing:

In the Covid soap opera, the lockdowners, the ‘follow the science’ preachers, took years from our lives on a foundation of bad science.

My wife is a wonderful woman, but she has horrible taste in television. She, at times, will acknowledge this shortcoming as “guilty pleasures.”

One of her favorite streaming “programs” is the hospital drama “New Amsterdam.” It’s god-awful. More unreal than reality TV. This woke piece of soap opera pabulum is utterly unwatchable. Every once in a while, perhaps to punish me for crimes I am not aware I have committed, she will turn “New Amsterdam” on the bedroom TV before we go to sleep. When the latest overwrought episode mercifully comes to an end, I ask the love of my life the same two questions: Why do you hate me, and where do I go to get the last hour of my life back?

At least it’s just an hour.

In the Covid soap opera, the lockdowners, the “follow the science” preachers, took years from our lives on a foundation of bad science. Some of us knew that while we were in the throes of the endless Covid Red Alert; the rest are learning it these days from the same charlatans who ran the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Testifying earlier this year in a closed-door interview before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, a transcript of which was released this week, former NIH Director Francis Collins confessed that the government’s sweeping social-distancing guidance wasn’t backed by the science we were all supposed to be following.

‘I Did Not See Evidence’

On March 22, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued what amounted to placebo guidance advising Americans to avoid mass gatherings and remain at least six feet apart from each other. The warnings were stark. One research paper published in the NIH’s National Library of Medicine was titled, “Six feet apart or six feet under: The impact of COVID-19 on the Black Community.” Just beneath the report is another on “LGBTQ+ Loss and Grief in a Cis-Heteronormative Pandemic: A Qualitative Evidence Synthesis of the COVID-19 Literature.” Your tax dollars at work.

The businesses the government deemed essential — the supermarkets, the pharmacies, the big-box retailers — marked the dividing lines, two yards between life and death, on the floors and in checkout lines.

But Collins and crew, including the smug and self-righteous Dr. Anthony Fauci, the immunologist who ran the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for a dangerously long time, made a very good living segregating a society at an unprecedented level. The damage done from the scientists’ sign-off on a long and cruel isolation experiment will take a long time to fully measure.

“The six feet of separation recommendation had real life consequences. This guideline made it nearly impossible for schools nationwide to re-open due to the pressure from teachers unions to follow this guideline. In addition, businesses had to adapt at great cost or risk complete closure,” states a Thursday subcommittee staff memo on the Collins interview. —>READ MORE HERE

Exclusive: Former Top Public Health Official Admits Covid Origins Not Settled, No Science to Back Social-Distance Guidance

The nation’s top public health official during the Covid-19 pandemic admitted that the origins of the coronavirus remain up for debate, the lab-leak theory is not a conspiracy, and that there was no scientific evidence to support the government’s social-distancing guidance.

Former National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins testified behind closed-doors earlier this year and made those admissions to the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, according to a transcript and accompanying subcommittee memo provided to National Review.

“Do you recall science or evidence that supported the six-foot distance?” a staffer asked Collins abouty the Centers for Disease Control’s social distancing guidance during the pandemic.

“I do not,” Collins said.

“Is that I do not recall or I do not see any evidence supporting six-feet?” the staffer replied.

“I did not see evidence, but I’m not sure I would have been shown evidence at that point,” Collins said, according to the transcript, adding that he has not seen evidence since then to support the CDC’s six-feet guidance.

Collins was the boss of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases during the pandemic. And his testimony is similar to Fauci’s, who admitted to the subcommittee that the six-foot guidance just appeared.

Fauci invited Collins to the February 2020 call that set in motion the publication of the “Proximal Origin” paper in Nature that attempted to discredit the lab-leak hypothesis at the start of the pandemic, Collins testified. Before the phone call, Collins said he had not expressed an opinion on whether the virus came from a lab. —>READ MORE HERE
