The political editor for Euronews, who is based in Brussels, penned a piece last week urging Europeans to “comply” with government restrictions in order to fight the spread of COVID and blamed – in part – young people for “flouting the rules” and contributing to the spread because they know the virus is “highly unlikely to kill them.”
Absent in his call to bow down and obey government orders are the facts that their previous lockdown policies were ineffective. And rather than take measures to protect those most vulnerable from the virus, they imposed rules and regulations that have destroyed the lives and livelihoods of millions.
Masked Madness
As we have written about in detail, the effectiveness of mask-wearing to stop the virus is unproven, and exactly what qualifies as “social distancing” depends on the country, state, and cities imposing it.
On the mask front, it should also be noted that the Mayo Clinic’s most recent update said, “At this time, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved any type of surgical mask specifically for protection against coronavirus, but these masks may provide some protection when N95 masks are not available.”
As for what is the proper “social distance,” Colin Axon, a senior lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at Brunel University London, wrote in the Spectator that there are many unknowns about social distancing. “The risk of infection transmission is governed by the (very low) likelihood of encountering an infected person and further limited by the dynamics of air and the natural boundaries that humans maintain in most contexts and social relationships,” he wrote. “Introducing other elements, like face coverings, merely creates confusion and potential resentment.”
TRENDPOST: The Euronews’ McCaffrey supports the unscientific, ineffective lockdown measures by declaring political rulers have to make up rules that require sacrificing the economy for public health. “Essentially, governments can’t just let the virus rip through our society. It is a morally bankrupt position to take. But the balance between protecting lives and livelihoods is impossible to get right all of the time,” he wrote.
As with our article in this Trends Journal, “URGENT NOTICE TO READERS”, indeed, censorship has become the New ABnormal. We note Euronews to illustrate both the expanding extent of censorship and how Presstitutes sell what their corporate whoremasters and government pimps pay them to put out.
