If you read my comment I said that they explained everything in detail, I didn't say that I agreed with all of their conclusions.
Very unclear from your words, and everything I've seen you post says otherwise... for example:
On the other hand, Covid has killed more Americans than WWII,
This makes it perfectly clear you are woefully uninformed, and believe and continue to spread their lies.
The vast majority of people they (and you) claim to have been killed by Covid were murdered due to intentionally withholding safe and effective treatments, or only allowing extremely toxic treatments (like Remdesivir).
and I'm not even sure that anybody has yet been able to calculate how it has cost citizens to pay for things like critical care.
None of which would have been necessary had the safe and effective treatments been used.

Again, if you go back and read the actual comment that I made it's very clear that I'm telling somebody that all of the information that they are asking for was given out during those briefings, and that I didn't comment on the restrictions in that comment.
The idea that people who dedicate their entire lives to saving people would deliberately withhold something that might save someone isn't really even worth discussing. It's also worth noting that it's only really been demonstrated to help shorten the length of sickness of people with moderate to serious covid infection. AKA people who would likely survive anyway.
It's specifically not advised to give to people in the most critical conditions as there is no evidence that it would help Link. This is a link from the UK, and is therefore free from partisan politics.
The fact of the matter remains, as per my original comment, the government told everybody what they were doing and explained why they were doing it, and cited their sources. Which is what I was originally saying.

you merely parroted them
And as I have said multiple times, deliberate ignorance is the only true sin - in my opinion.
Yes, and your wording made it clear you were in agreement with their insane, life/economy destroying recommendations.

It's clear that you didn't read my original comment, because if you did then you would know that what I actually said was that the information was in the briefings, so what was it that I am supposed to have "parroted".
I don't know why you bother to respond to my comment when it's clear that you've not read them.
At least you could try to find something that contradicted me, but no, you aren't even taking 10 seconds to Google.
"And as I have said multiple times, deliberate ignorance is the only true sin - in my opinion."
Technically, what you're suggesting would be gross negligence, or professional misconduct.
Do you sincerely believe that hundreds of thousands of highly educated and highly trained professionals are knowingly allowing millions (and yes, it is millions) of people in dozens of countries die?
"Yes, and your wording made it clear you were in agreement with their insane, life/economy destroying recommendations."
Tell me, why didn't you actually quote the bit where I'm supposed to have done that, come on?
Surely you can at least find the original comment, it's like 2 pages back.
If people had bothered to watch those covid briefings made under Trump they would know that there are multiple steps that you can take, and that each step will REDUCE your level of risk. Mask wearing reduces your risk a little, social distancing reduces your risk a little, hand washing reduces your risk a little, ventilating rooms reduces your risk a little. And so on.
Each measure that you take might on it's own only be somewhat effective but when you combine them they make a real difference.
For example, I don't believe that having motion activated lights in my yard will give me 100% protection form a home invader, but that doesn't mean that they're not worth putting up.

However, I don’t know if the science his invalidated this, but there were theories that how many covid particles one came into contact with -the viral load - could determine how severely the virus effected you. Of course the individuals existing health status and other variables are involved, but these would be exacerbated by the size of the ‘viral load’.
If this is indeed the case, then however imperfect, would it not be the case that a mask may indeed somewhat lower that viral load?
Even though covid particles are smaller than the weave of most masks, might they not still catch some of those particles, therefore lowering the viral load, leading to a less severe infection (if viral load is a factor) ?
The point is that perhaps it’s not as binary as masks not being able to prevent infection so they are pointless.

Except that many experts, virologists, immunologists, former bioweapons experts, etc all have a similar message after they have investigated not just the virus itself but the vaccines. The COINTELPRO has been the fight against early and inexpensive treatments, as well as the false claims about the vaccines being able to stop people from getting infected, or from infecting others, or the latests claims that the vaccines stops people from getting worse symptoms, or keeps you from being hospitalized.
If none of this was true then why the disinformation from the start of the "pandemic"? Why has there been a campaign to stop people from using inexpensive treatments that have been proven to work and cause no side effects unlike the COVID-19 vaccines?
