The COVID protocols are over. Sorry, after this last study, it only makes sense for two things to happen. The teachers have to get back to school and work, and the nation has to reopen. The last shred of credibility regarding masks and social distancing was torched by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
It pretty much shows that the main tenets to curb the spread were worthless and that we locked everything down for nothing. Now, hindsight is 20/20, but this probably offers zero comfort to the millions of working families who saw their livelihoods torched by Dr. Anthony Fauci and his band of COVID panic peddlers.
Look, at the start, I was on the cautious side. I was wrong. And as more information came out regarding COVID’s survivability rate, which is 90+ percent, the more the lockdown regime looked absurd. Contracting the virus via surfaces has been debunked. The experts have said masks work. I wore a mask and still got COVID last year. California saw nearly a million cases in six weeks over the holidays last December, and that state has a near-universal mask compliance rate. Denmark’s study on masks also shreds the fake sense of security the liberal media and the experts have peddled about masks. Oh, and remember when Fauci said don’t wear them?
Yet, let’s go into the nuts and bolts of this MIT study that delivers a headshot to the remaining vestiges of the lockdown regime. It destroyed the "six-feet apart" rule. Researchers found that you're no safer from infection at 60 feet than you are at six feet, even if you’re wearing a mask. Also, you don’t need expensive air filtration systems. Keeping the windows open, the fans going, and a constant stream of fresh air is just as effective. That means teachers need to get back to work. Summer vacation from 2020…is over.
It’s a peer-reviewed study, and the science says Fauci and his clown show act is over. The study also revealed why nursing homes are man-made graveyards for this virus (via CNBC):
The risk of being exposed to Covid-19 indoors can be as great at 60 feet as it is at 6 feet in a room where the air is mixed — even when wearing a mask, according to a new study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers who challenge social distancing guidelines adopted across the world.
MIT professors Martin Z. Bazant, who teaches chemical engineering and applied mathematics, and John W.M. Bush, who teaches applied mathematics, developed a method of calculating exposure risk to Covid-19 in an indoor setting that factors in a variety of issues that could affect transmission, including the amount of time spent inside, air filtration and circulation, immunization, variant strains, mask use, and even respiratory activity such as breathing, eating, speaking or singing.
Bazant and Bush question long-held Covid-19 guidelines that recommend 6 feet of distance between people from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a peer-reviewed study published earlier this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science of the United States of America. They say staying 6 feet away from another person may not be enough when people are inside for prolonged periods of time.
“We argue there really isn’t much of a benefit to the 6-foot rule, especially when people are wearing masks” since everyone in the room is breathing the same air, Bazant said in an interview. “It really has almost no physical basis because the air a person is breathing while wearing a mask tends to rise and comes down elsewhere in the room so you’re more exposed to the average background than you are to a person at a distance.”

Opening windows or installing new fans to keep the air moving could also be just as effective or more effective than spending large amounts of money on a new filtration system, he said.
Bazant also says that guidelines enforcing indoor occupancy caps are flawed. He said 20 people gathered inside for one minute is probably fine, but not over the course of several hours, he said.
Small, poorly ventilated spaces where a lot of people spend a lot of time together places people at the most risk, he said.
“Unfortunately, the nursing home is one of those cases. If Covid patients are living together 24/7, in some cases even in the same room, that is the absolute worst-case scenario, especially given the vulnerability of that population,” Bazant added.
Now, did we need a study to know that a virus spreads like a brushfire in facilities where the eldest, weakest, and infirmed Americans live? No. You don’t need a medical degree to know that once a contagious pathogen, any pathogen, gets inside a nursing home chaos will erupt. That’s the science, fellas. The Democrats didn’t follow it.
I mean, watching the NCAA basketball tournament this year was also a crock regarding masks. Players had to practice social distancing and wear masks sitting on the bench, but that gets tossed when they’re on the court? So, COVID knows not to possibly infect players while they’re playing, but once they sit down, they’re at risk. That’s science fiction.
And now, as the undue panic subsides, we’re seeing a host of nonsense being exposed as just that. Wearing masks after vaccination because you can still spread it is science fiction. Re-infection from COVID is also immensely rare. And yet, we’re told by Fauci and his crew that we need to stay locked in our homes and that the variants are out to get us.
Are we in a fourth COVID wave? No. Michigan is being wrecked, and Gov. Whitmer’s lockdown nonsense is probably making it worse. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said there was "impending doom" regarding COVID during spring break. The apocalypse never happened. Texas nixed its mask mandate and reopened fully over a month ago. No spike.
The experts are wrong and not following the science, especially when it comes to vaccines. Why are they so afraid to say that herd immunity is on the horizon? It is near. Even as we freak out about the 8-10 percent of Americans who have missed their second COVID shot, they’re still offered solid protection from just one. After four weeks, a subject with just one dose of the Pfizer vaccine is virtually bulletproof, according to a study conducted by Israel’s Ministry of Health.
For months, legions of Americans have noted how none of the COVID protocols make sense. And now we have an MIT study that’s peer-reviewed that delivers a haymaker to the entire lockdown regime. We wasted trillions on a Biden-backed "COVID relief package" that really didn’t address the virus at all, especially those pinched by the lockdowns. Again, the best relief effort Biden could have done was reopen the country. Now, he says that the Fourth of July might be canceled again. I guess we're all Neanderthals then because I can assure you no one will listen, and they shouldn’t.
The CDC and Fauci don’t have the power to dictate how we live our lives. Ignore them. Get the vaccine if you want, but herd immunity is near even if these experts refuse to say so, which is almost as bad as the media manufacturing fake narratives about Russian collusion.
