Public health officials' endless quest for zero COVID has had dire costs they refuse to acknowledge

Public health is about health in general, not just ending COVID in particular

How public health experts ignored public health: A thread 🧵
Lockdowns, constant doomsday media reports led to increased drinking & unhealthy habits
Those habits didn't just include drinking, but unhealthy eating and weight gain, when, as we now know, obesity leads to worse COVID outcomes
Lockdowns closed hospitals and limited procedures to emergencies only. Many did not receive critical preventative care
Lockdowns also harmed some of the most vulnerable Americans we have a duty to protect: Children
The effects of lockdowns didn't just affect American children but children and people all over the world
And it wasn't just children who were affected. The mental health crisis caused by public health experts dogged focus on COVID extended to adult Americans as well
Perhaps some costs are justified if lockdowns worked. But the reality is they had no clear benefit

No wonder Americans do not trust the public health experts who ignored public health
If we did poorly at work we'd lose our jobs. The expert class pays zero price for getting it wrong.

Fauci is the highest-paid bureaucrat in gov. No one shut him down. He hasn't lost a cent. NatGeo made a movie lauding him.

2022 is just around the corner, don't forget!

Power drunk politicians are needlessly forcing small businesses to close and forcing Americans to suffer.

The science does not support the draconian lockdowns we are seeing across the country. 🧵👇🏻
HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Adm. Brett Giroir: 'Outdoor dining, with appropriate separation, is not a risk factor,' no outbreaks have been traced to it.
“The data are clear that outdoor dining, with appropriate separation, is not a risk factor, same thing with outdoor bars with appropriate separation. I even went back to the CDC and said, ‘Have there been any outbreaks traced to outdoor dining with appropriate separation?’

College students across America are being intimidated and bullied into submitting to liberal indoctrination.

Here's the shocking evidence. 🧵👇🏻
A recent survey of nearly 20,000 students at 55 colleges regarding free speech on campus was commissioned by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).
When asked “Have you personally ever felt you could not express your opinion on a subject because of how students, a professor, or the administration would respond?” a whopping 60% said yes.

If elected, @JoeBiden has promised to sign the #EqualityAct in his first 100 days. The Equality Act would eliminate religious liberty as we know it.

Under the Equality Act:

- Schools, churches, health care providers are redefined as “public accommodations”
- Tax-exempt status could be removed if a religious school refused to provide unisex locker rooms, showers or changing areas for transgender students

- Force biological men to be allowed to take part in women’s sports
- Punitive damages for violating the “Equality Act” range from $50,000 to $300,000

- Religious institutions and individuals abiding by their church teachings would face persecution

Will Big Tech, liberal media and Democratic politicians apologize to the @nypost?

@DNI_Ratcliffe announced this week that the information on Hunter Biden's laptop is NOT "Russian disinformation". The @FBI and concur with Ratcliffe's assessment.
Citing policies on the spread of hacked or illegally obtained documents, @Twitter has locked the @nypost out of their account. Forcing them to either delete the Hunter Biden story, or remain locked out.
It appears #BigTech have no problem circulating false stories about @realDonaldTrump, such as his taxes, which as we all know were illegally obtained and completely based on rumors.

The ACLU has been waging all out war on Catholic Hospitals.

Their goal is not to ensure that proper care is given to patients.

It’s to coerce these institutions into replacing their faith-based medical practices with secular moral standards that deny the sanctity of life. 🧵👇🏻
The ACLU claims that Catholic Hospitals discriminate against transgender individuals.

This assertion is a lie – and here’s why:
A transgendered patient sued a Catholic Hospital after being refused for a hysterectomy for the purpose of sex reassignment.

The refusal had nothing to do with the patient being transgender.

Here are a few thoughts from me in the @washingtonpost on the Democrat's support for 🚨 crime and disorder
[A Thread]

washingtonpost.com/opinions/local…
Let's look at a recent bill from the state of Virginia.

Passed in the Senate, this law would lessen penalties for assaults against police officers and first responders, while retaining penalties for assaults based on race or gender identity. 🤦‍♀️
If an individual was to assault a law enforcement officer 👮‍♀️, the bill would eliminate the six-month mandatory minimum sentence and lower the crime to a class-1 misdemeanor when it was previously a class-6 felony. ⚖️
