The small increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations is prompting officials to consider the reintroduction of mask and vaccine mandates.
The move disregards the lack of thorough evidence for the effectiveness of the mandates.
According to research published in the Clinical Infectious Diseases journal, an estimated 19 in 20 Americans have natural immunity to COVID-19.
“If a tiny bump in the rate of new weekly Covid hospital admissions—that still is among the lowest rates over the last three years—relates to a surge, then what is an actual large rise called?” wrote science journalist David Zweig in an essay.
“The use of this hyperbolic language by so many media outlets that over-dramatizes risk skirts very close to misinformation.”
Biden recently stated that he “signed off” on a plan to ask Congress for funding for a new vaccine “that works” against the virus, admitting that the current vaccines have not performed well.
According to University of California San Francisco epidemiologist Vinay Prasad, masking has not had “good data in community settings in the past” and “is literally incoherent now.”
Reporting from Just the News:
Bivalent-booster rates have barely budged since January, when the feds claimed children risked "COVID's worst outcomes" if they didn't get the newly authorized jabs. Cleveland Clinic research suggests more jabs correlate with more susceptibility to reinfection, Yale University epidemiologist Harvey Risch recently told Just the News. More than 90 colleges are still mandating either primary-series vaccines or boosters, according to ongoing tracking of written policies by the advocacy group No College Mandates.
