      Valid point, is BS only putting out certain content. You would have thought US study would be of more importance.

    3. Micko

      Well that’s all good then

      Masks were generally useless and the vaccines were generally harmless.

      A Win-Win for us all.

      Good stuff

        @SOQ – ’34 000 cases of myocarditis in the US CDC data system alone.
        If the CoVid-19 vaccines are not causing this, then what is? ‘

        Its probably Covid itself. The risk of Myocarditis is higher with getting covid than with vaccination.

    Sorry folks but this is INCORRECT

    Muzzling kids had a VERY MEANINGFUL EFFECT and exactly the EFFECT INTENDED

    This FORCEFUL APPROPRIATION of the our capacity to THINK INDEPENDENTLY, CRITICALLY ASSESS and MAKE OWN CHOICES what exactly what was intended

    And YES it appears to have WORKED just dandy

      1. Piotr

        I respectfully disagree

        Given what has happened over the last 2 years – THE GREATEST CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY THAT CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY AND UNFOLD – there is EVERY need to shout

        Worry less about the method of my delivery and more about what is happening around you

          Caps luv caps- use sparingly and only for an important emphasis- otherwise they lose all impact.

          They also infer you may be a little unhinged- there is a full quota of such around here already.

          Do you not feel some guilt or remorse for pushing people away and ruining a popular site that actually brought some joy to people?

      1. Commenter #1

        Yeah; who knew posting photos of nebulae and expensive cars was so critical to the vibe of this place? Don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone I guess

    Masks are one of those debates which goes around in circles except, if they worked then surely someone somewhere would have produced hard evidence by now- real data analysis showing a reduction in infection rates. But despise the evangelical zeal there has been none because quite simply- they do not.

    And now, you have the likes of Ron DeSantis in the US really going in for the kill- not just on masks but lockdowns too- cracking jokes that Fauci is in the witness protection program etc.

    As for children being forced to wear them- it was child abuse- and it is child abuse. The psychological harm done will take time to access, but it most definately did occur.

    That the lowest risk group in the country were still forced to wear them while their parents slobbered all over each other in the pub, proves the point that they were nothing to do with health.

        Not right in the HEART more like

        They are not MAD. Do not make that mistake. They know EXACTLY what they are doing.

          ..how do you say white trash in NY without saying it-Mcdonalds has good coffee,no it does really it does,…..eh no not in New York,try Des Moines honey.
          or
          have you seen the Post?
          the post what post,the New York Post eh no never,oh my god who post’s on here like really.

          “Mr. Adams said that he would also eventually remove the mask mandate for younger children once he can be assured that cases do not start rising for older students.”

          Johnny confirming that they ARE indeed currently forcing 2-4 year olds to continue to wear masks in New York.

          Thanks Johnny for affirming my point in your usual coherent and salient way, without going off on a completely unrelated topic like where I sometimes purchase coffee.

          As have CBS;
          https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/live-updates/mayor-adams-to-announce-decision-on-nycs-school-mask-policy-indoor-vaccine-requirement/

          “The mayor also lifted mask mandates for hundreds of thousands of New York City public school students. Kept in place are mask mandates for 2 to 4-year-olds, because they are not vaccinated. ”

          Strange that CBS didn’t cover your coffee angle Johnny?

          ;P

            For the kids.
            The kids.

            Look pal I don’t know anyone who has set foot in a greasy disgusting fast food joint like Mickey d in forever,it’s just not New York.

            Last time I checked he was the elected Mayor,ya know recently in a landslide,but carry on with your fast food diet and junk papers.

          3. johnny

            nothing,nothing say’s thick paddy,with no papers in NY like a luv for Mickey D’s nothing.
            i’m a vegan have been forever.

          4. Micko

            “with no papers”

            You guys are mad into your papers. “Ze papers for this, papers for zat”

            “i’m a vegan have been forever.”

            No wonder you’re so angry…

          5. johnny

            ‘You guys”
            how old are you?
            What guys,where.
            YOU GUYS
            eh no,who where what

            an absolute idiotic Qanon followers, comment equating ‘child abuse” with mask mandates(about be lifted) is now hijacked by big Micko ,into questions about my diet choices,per big Micko and SOQ all New Yorkers,are now complicit in this child abuse.

            What are you so obsessed with me Micko and what i eat and do,feel inferior much ?

          6. Micko

            “are you so obsessed with me Micko”

            You literally replied to me above first ya numpty.

            Ha ha ha!

    2. Johnny

      Ron is the governor of a US state,Florida who also try’s smear any opposition to his latest anti LBGTQ bill as pedos or groomers,Why do you feel the need to shoehorn a second rate yank governor into another rant on child abuse.
      Whatever points you have to make on here,are based on a diet of extreme yank right wing media,why are you so obsessed with the states and republicans,a gay man from Belfast ?

      Does your yank news feed cover the Don’t Say Gay,bill ?

      ..,press sectary.

      “The bill that liberals inaccurately call ‘Don’t Say Gay’ would be more accurately described as an Anti-Grooming Bill,” Pushaw wrote. “If you’re against the Anti-Grooming Bill, you are probably a groomer or at least you don’t denounce the grooming of 4-8 year-old children. Silence is complicity. This is how it works, Democrats, and I didn’t make the rules.”

      Regarding jokes.

      “DeSantis yelled at students behind him at an indoor event to take off their masks saying ‘stop with this COVID theater.’ And there’s nothing more on brand for conservatives than dads screaming at boys to give up theater,”
