Just a reminder that your decisions have an impact on the country. Refusing to follow CDC recommendations will result in the deaths of thousands, trillions of lost economic activity and suffering through the nation.
Your actions are not free of consequences.
Sorry, but you have this backwards.
The CDC is the one who has it wrong.
Easy to prove.
First, has any entrenched epidemic ever been ended by anything other than herd immunity?
The answer is no.
Has "flattening the curve" with masks ever stopped any entrenched epidemic?
The answer is no.
In fact, with the 1918 Spanish flu, the 2 month long epidemic was stretched out to 2 year by people wearing masks, killing 12 times as many people as it would have otherwise.
Why is it the CDC is not pushing herd immunity instead of the ridiculous masks?
It is because they were idiots when collecting data, and since the vast majority of those infected were asymptomatic, they did not get tested, were not counted, so the CDC told people covid-19 was at least 10 times more lethal than it really was.
The CDC also claimed ten times as many people would have to get infected to get herd immunity as it really takes as well, because they falsely claimed there was no inherent immunity.
And the asymptomatic prove that is wrong.
