COVID Scare 2.0 draws more counterattacks

The government’s COVID Scare 2.0 plan is already drawing counterattacks, after journalist Tracy Beanz launched her preemptive strike last week.

COVID Scare 2.0 derided as nonsense

Joseph Ladapo, Surgeon General of Florida, already has signaled his intention to refuse to enforce renewed mask mandates or lockdowns. He flat-out encouraged people to “refuse to participate,” according to Just the News. Some colleges are already notifying students on Move-in Day to prepare to mask up and stay in their rooms. But the top doctor in Florida heaps scorn on the idea.

Becker News has more detail. Recall that the Lionsgate studio announced mask mandates for their offices and started promoting lockdowns.

We now learn that Lionsgate has revoked that policy. In a statement, they said the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health ordered them to require masks. Now, they say, the county changed its mind. According to The Wrap, some Lionsgate staff had come down with the disease. None have died, and now Lionsgate says they have the “outbreak” under control, according to Deadline. (The L.A. County Health Department has published a mask mandate rule. But an engine search turns up no independent references to a direct order from LACDPH to Lionsgate regarding mask mandates or staff outbreaks.)

COVID Scare 2.0 has another problem: no one believes the federal authorities anymore. Just the News reported yesterday that many fewer people believe either that vaccines (or masks) are effective, or that the public has anything to worry about. David Zweig, writing in Silent Lunch, roundly criticized legacy media for, as he sees it, exaggerating the threat. “Complete nonsense,” says Peter LaBarbera at WorldNetDaily.

An example of scaremongering

That hasn’t stopped several public health authorities and senior academic medical officers from trying to promote COVID Scare 2.0. Consider this thread:

Zweig accuses Dr. Wachter of misinformation – meaning, lying. “The empirical reality is that pretty much every major facet of society has been operating without restrictions for a year or more,” he says, citing many examples. The point: one cannot correlate slacking-off of infection rates with lockdowns, voluntary or otherwise.
