15 Worst Covid Lies That are Now Completely Exposed for All the World to See
These lies went halfway around the world before the truth had a chance to put its mask on.
Big Pharma, tech giants, the mainstream media, “fact checkers,” and public health officials have told innumerable lies during the Covid pandemic.
From “masks work” to “100% safe and effective” to “15 days to slow the spread,” Americans have been bombarded with misinformation from the very beginning.
Even more nefariously, this shadow cabal has insisted that anyone who questioned its narratives were guilty of ‘wrong think’ at best; spreading ‘disinformation’ at worst.
But in the past few months, there have been a number of developments that have proved the critics right regarding many of the most widely spread myths.
Here are 15 of the worst Covid lies that have now been completely exposed for all the world to see.
1. Cloth and surgical masks don't work, time for N95 masks
It has been the prevailing wisdom for nearly two years: Forcing people to wear face coverings for up to 8 hours a day must certainly slow the spread. Right?
The tide has begun to turn on this assessment, however. The Wall Street Journal recently
published a study that shows Covid transmission is only insignificantly impaired by masks worn by the general public.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a Pfizer board member and former FDA Chief,
finally admitted that cloth masks don't work.
“Cloth masks aren’t going to provide a lot of protection, that’s the bottom line,” he said. “This is an airborne illness. We now understand that. And a cloth mask is not going to protect you from a virus that spreads through airborne transmission. It could protect better through droplet transmission, something like the flu, but not this coronavirus.”
When confronted with the data that the cloth masks don't work, one expert, frequent CNN guest Dr. Leana Wen, argued that people be
forced to wear surgical masks.
"Leana Wen, public health professor at George Washington University and an emergency physician,
has urged the public to wear high-quality masks and described cloth masks as, 'little more than facial decorations'," the Hill reported. "She said cloth masks should not be considered an acceptable form of face covering and that the U.S. should require and distribute medical-grade surgical masks."
When Dr. Wen's sage advice was exposed as bogus, however, she moved on without missing a beat to the argument it's now
time for everyone to wear N95 masks.

So there you have it. The cloth and surgical masks are dead, long live the N95 masks!
2. Now, let's force schoolchildren to wear N95 masks
Except N95 masks aren't meant to be worn by the general public for hours a day. Even if we lived in an alternate reality where children were at significant risk from Covid (
they're not — especially from Omicron), the CDC Director Rochelle Walensky last January admitted as such.
Walensky explained why the general public should not wear N95 masks for extended periods of time.
“They’re very hard to breathe in when you wear them properly,” Walensky
said. “They’re very hard to tolerate when you wear them for long periods of time.”
Doctors and nurses have since been turning to social media to show Americans that N95 masks are not appropriate for the general public, particularly for children.

This is what correctly wearing an N95 for 8 hours does to you. Anyone who wants to do this to children is a monster.

Forcing children to wear such masks will not be tolerated by most parents. Especially when entire nations in Europe,
such as Great Britain, refuse to mask healthy children because they are at
miniscule risk from Covid-19.
3. Children exposed to ceaseless Covid hysteria will turn out fine
It now seems that concerned parents in many states are beginning to discover that their virtue-signaling has exacted a steep price. You can detect a sea change among parents, which is conveyed by the mainstream media.

“They will be paying for our generation’s decisions the rest of their lives," Margaret Brennan said about 2021's "most underreported story." Putting aside the fact that she is a journalist on a Sunday morning show, this is what parents have been trying in vain to get across to the 'experts' for two years.
The Surgeon General last month even
issued a warning about the Covid pandemic response exacerbating the childhood mental health crisis. The NY Times dutifully
reported the news, which all normal Americans saw coming.
Masking children's and adults' faces during critical stages of children's social development will have serious long-term effects.
A
study with over 25,000 school-aged children showed that masks are harming schoolchildren "physically, psychologically, and behaviorally," revealing
24 distinct health issues associated with wearing masks for hours each day.
The negative effects were found among 68% of children forced to wear a face covering for even just 4.5 hours per day. The health issues included: increased headaches (53%), difficulty concentrating (50%), drowsiness or fatigue (37%), malaise (42%), and sleep issues (33%).
Adding to their trauma, school administrators have even forced children to sit outside and eat lunch in the cold. Here is a stark example from Fairfax, Virginia of children eating outside in freezing weather.

Here's another example from Portland, Oregon where kids were eating on buckets in chilly temperatures.

There are other examples, such as schools in
Seattle and
New York. The contrast with the daily lives of vaccinated adults, who can still spread Covid-19, is unsettling.
Even New York Times writer Michelle Goldberg was
disturbed by the schools' mistreatment of the children. New York Post writer Karol Markowicz
summed up the 'let them eat cupcakes' attitude.
"Children in New York City public schools eat outdoors, on the ground, because eating around other people indoors can apparently be deadly," she writes. "Their parents are free to take them to a restaurant after school, but that’s totally different because … well, no one really knows, but we have to keep the kids safe. The
truly at-risk population, the elderly, can be seen around the city dining at our best restaurants, not sitting alone on the freezing ground."
Civilized people protect the most vulnerable among us. But in the United States, with Woke liberals in charge, children's needs come last.
4. Hospitalizations of sick children are now through the roof
Blue state governors pounced on the news of a highly contagious omicron variant spreading throughout the country to justify a continuation of their failed Covid response policies. The media dutifully reported there was a surge of child hospitalizations.
It wasn't just ill-informed suburban mothers who fell for the alarming "news" — a sitting Supreme Court Justice even
fueled the hysteria with wildly inaccurate misstatements.
“We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition, and many on ventilators,” Sotomayor claimed.
The actual figure was at least 30 times lower: HHS reported it was 3,342. However, between 40 percent and 70 percent of those were "incidental."
"CDC is reporting increasing pediatric COVID hospitalizations, but critical to break numbers down," Dr. Jeanne Noble pointed out. "Between our 2 pediatric hospitals in SF and Oakland, 30% of COVID+ hospitalizations are for COVID illness, and 70% are incidental. 6 kids hospitalized b/c of COVID today at UCSF."
This squares with what even Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted on live television about the matter.
“But the other important thing is that if you look at the children who are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID,” Fauci said. “And what we mean by that — if a child goes in the hospital, they automatically get tested for COVID. And they get counted as a COVID-hospitalized individual. When in fact, they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that. So it’s over-counting the number of children who are, quote, ‘hospitalized with COVID,’ as opposed to because of COVID.”
New York's acting health commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett revealed at a governor’s
press conference that she exaggerated child hospitalizations in order to frighten parents into “seeking the protection of vaccination.”
“The numbers that we gave on pediatric admissions weren’t intended to make it seem children were having a – you know, having an epidemic of infection,” Dr. Bassett said. “These were
small numbers that we reported in our health alert. That was based on 50 hospitalizations. And I’ve now given you some larger numbers, but
they’re still small numbers.”
“It really is to motivate pediatricians and families to seek the protection of vaccination,” she admitted.
This is all just a cynical game to these "public health" officials with one end-goal in mind:
Get jabbed. If that means lying or exaggerating or misleading people, so be it. Free citizens do not tolerate this kind of disrespect. They demand to "live in truth."
5. Natural immunity is not as good as vaccinated immunity
It is one of the worst-kept secrets of the entire pandemic: Those individuals who are exposed to Covid-19 develop natural immunity from prior infections.
The media's blackout of the known scientific phenomenon is designed with only one aim in mind: Pressure people who don't need the mRNA shots to get them anyway.
Independent medical researchers have found that this type of redundancy is completely unnecessary, however. Indeed, why get exposed to potential adverse reactions from an mRNA shot when one already has natural protection?
"Study findings reveal that individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection do not get additional benefits from vaccination, indicating that COVID-19 vaccines should be prioritized to individuals without prior infection," a
Cleveland Clinic study found in 2021.
But what about the Omicron variant? Even three Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech shots do not stop infection or slow transmission of the mutated virus. Prior infection from the "generally mild" variant, on the other hand, is believed to confer immunity to other variants, such as Delta.
A recent
study on natural immunity published in the
European Journal of Immunology showed that prior infection from Omicron was both durable and long-lasting.
“Most subjects develop antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 following infection,” the study states. “In order to estimate the duration of immunity induced by SARS-CoV-2 it is important to understand for how long antibodies persist after infection in humans... We found that NAb [natural antibodies] against the WT virus [B-lineage variants] persisted in
89% and S-IgG in 97% of subjects for at least 13 months after infection.”
The CDC reports that there have been 65.5 million infections to one Covid variant or another in the United States. In September, there were a reported
146.6 million prior infections. The CDC estimated that there were four (4.0) infections for every "case." The number of Americans with natural immunity from prior infection following the massive Omicron wave thus may exceed 200 million.
In the
Washington Post, Dr. Marty Makary, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, pointed to 15 studies on natural immunity resulting from prior infections to Covid-19. A famous article from Brownstone listed
30 such scientific studies on the benefit of Covid-19 natural immunity, in addition to adding four more to its comprehensive list of
140 scientific studies on natural immunity.
Nonetheless, millions of Americans, particularly Democrats, don't believe in "natural immunity." A Rasmussen survey conducted a survey on the issue at the urging of Becker News and
shared the results.

“Those who have previously been infected with COVID-19 acquire natural immunity, providing ‘robust protection against COVID-19 for at least six to eight months after infection,’ according to the World Health Organization,” Rasmussen states in its analysis of the results. “The same is true of vaccines. However,
most Democrats (61%) believe vaccines are more effective than natural immunity in protecting against COVID-19, while just
17% think natural immunity offers more protection, and
only 13% correctly believe vaccines and natural immunity are equally effective.”
But the bubble may have burst on this natural immunity denial this week, when the NCAA announced that it would recognize it for the purpose of in-game attendance.
“A person who has had a documented COVID-19 infection in the past 90 days is considered the equivalent of ‘fully vaccinated’,” the NCAA
announced.
