- There was decades of pandemic planning before Covid. The consensus was that school and workplace closures, restrictions on gathering sizes, mask mandates, social distancing measures, etc., were NOT effective and that the cost of doing so would be very high.
- Measures NOT recommended by the WHO in their 2019 pandemic planning documents included contact tracing, quarantine of exposed individuals, entry/exit screenings, border closings, and school closures.
Johns Hopkins said essentially the same thing just months before Covid started and made the point that the overbearing measures might be used for political reasons. I’ve said it for years that Covid kicked off 2020 e!ection theft season.
- In 2008, the ACLU said (in relation to Bush-era pandemic preparedness planning) that fear of diseases has justified abuses of state power, that coercion and brute force breeds pubic distrust, strategies that rely on voluntary participation do work as long as public health officials are working to help people not punish them, and that minorities bear the brunt of tough public safety measures.
The ACLU said noting during Covid which tells us something since they have been co-opted by Democracy Inc.
