Not amazing vs truly amazing
Via Eurekalert, an amazing and unprecedented study from UCSD.
What's not amazing is the result. Before 2020 nobody even needed to say:
Public disclosure of COVID-19 cases is more effective than lockdowns
Before Feb 2020, NOBODY thought that lockdowns had any CONNECTION with public health. Everybody knew that SIEGES were a weapon of war, designed to kill everyone. Nobody considered substituting bullets for pills or substituting violence for vaccines.
Also unamazing, and
as I've been tiresomely repeating, we were better able to deal with epidemics before HIPPA or whatever, because we could publicly identify immigrants or travelers who were bringing in an unfamiliar pathogen. We could warn the people who had been contacted by the spreader, because we could NAME the spreader. The real but hidden purpose** of HIIPA or whatever was to ruin normal public health procedures.
It succeeded.
What's truly amazing?
1. Academics admitting the truth about lockdowns.
2. Academics admitting the truth about normal public health.
3. Academics admitting the truth about HIPAA or whatever.
4. Academics IN CALIFORNIA admitting the truth about anything.

** Remember that HIIPPAAAA was passed in the '80s by HIV activists who wanted to stop normal public health tracing techniques. They extended the rule to all medical procedures to hide their real purpose. Now our "legal" inability to trace a handful of contacts through public information is leading to the "inevitable" use of iPhones to trace the inevitable MILLIONS of contacts. This is a rare case of UNANTICIPATED consequence. Nearly all consequences in DC circles are fully intended.
The HIV activists couldn't have anticipated iPhones. They just wanted to keep team membership secret so they could continue blackmailing their secret teammates in Congress.
Blackmail is the only source of power, and retaining power requires retaining secrets.Labels: Fucking constants and fucking variables, Jackboot stomping forever
