    That guy ignores why areas of the population that are LESS dense and people have LESS contact with each other...they had LESS Covid infections.
    • Why? = Social Distancing
    He also ignores University studies by curious students involving the petri dish testing of Covid infected people without face masks in one closed room versus the petri dish testing of Covid infected people with face masks on in another closed room...the latter room with petri dish had LESS to no Covid. :D

    It's the same petri dish testing that my immunology & microbiology classes did in college as a class assignment for the FLU. It is one of the easiest ways to test the effectiveness of social distancing and face mask wearing...testing which face mask is better than a different type of face masks too. :cool:

    It's a very simple test that the average citizen can do at home on their own if they know how to order petri dishes online from Amazon. Heck, one of my teens did the same petri dish test at home for a classroom project with a friend that had the FLU.

    The ironic aspect, some governments (e.g. the United States) had to allow fired healthcare workers to return to work...

    The same Doctors & Nurses that stated Covid was a hoax, face masks do not work, blahblahblah...

    They're back at work wearing face masks during their surgical procedures...helping to protect their patients from any type of infections including using sterilized surgical tools that have been the norm since the 1880s. :sneaky:

    Last of all, the hypocrisy with these bullshitters, the former Pfizer VP Dr. Mike Yeadon is vaccinated against Covid but not boosted and vaccinated against other diseases due to his age. :banghead:

    Charles Hoffe is a anti-vax clown that is about to lose his medical license for all the anti-vax fabrications he spewed. "The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC) has cited Hoffe for alleged misconduct, including inaccurate statements about vaccination, and he will face a hearing in February 2023."

    His many false claims include trying to claim that Covid-19 vaccines cause turbo cancer, falsely attempting to link MRNA vaccines to blood clots using completely fake data, laughably stating that nearly all the vaccinated would die within three years... plus many other debunked fabrications.

    After the WHO had declared the Pandemic is essentially an Endemic...highly vaccinated countries and/or countries with strict restrictions are now transitioning to normal lives again.

    The below is important news for me because I lived in South Korea for a few years and have many close friends that live there. I can now visit South Korea again because South Korea has now removed strict restrictions about certain areas of the country even for vaccinated tourists that involved crazy quarantine rules for tourists.

    The world is leaving behind the anti-Pandemic, anti-covid, and anti-vaccine people that are stuck in their illusions of mass death for those that protected their communities and themself.

    In addition, countries like Sweden that did not lockdown while still being a highly vaccinated country is enjoying the removal of their strict restrictions in some cities that had restrictions. :D

    Further, highly vaccinated sports like NBA, NHL, WTA, MLB, FIFA, college sports are back to normal...what happened to the pending mass deaths of athletes that were vaccinated ???

    Regardless, South Korea...see you soon. :sneaky:

    South Korea to lift quarantine mandate for COVID-19 and end testing recommendation for travelers

    SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea will drop its COVID-19 quarantine requirements and end testing recommendations for international arrivals starting next month after the World Health Organization declared the end of the global health emergency.

    In lowering the coronavirus alert level from “critical” to plainly “alert” starting June 1, health authorities will also lift mask mandates in pharmacies and small clinics but will continue require mask wearing in large hospitals and long-term care facilities and other medical venues with high infection risks.

    The decision was announced during a meeting attended by President Yoon Suk Yeol, where he thanked the country’s medical workers and said it was “delightful that people are getting their normal lives back after three and a half years.”

    He said his government will take steps to improve the country’s capacity to deal with future pandemics, including providing stronger support for vaccine developments and expanding international cooperation.

    South Korea has been requiring seven-day quarantines for virus carriers. While the mandate will be lifted from June 1, health officials will continue to recommend people to isolate for five days if they test positive for the virus, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said. Travelers had been advised to take PCR tests within three days after arriving in the country, but that recommendation will also be lifted.

    Youngmee Jee, KDCA’s commissioner, downplayed worries that virus measures were being loosened too quickly, saying that the country’s COVID-19 situation was stabilizing, partially because of high vaccination rates and immunity gained through infections during previous waves of the virus.

    The fatality rate of COVID-19 after a steady decline is now at a similar level with influenza and there are enough medical resources to deal with a modest rise in infections, with about half of the country’s 700 hospital beds designated to treat serious cases currently vacant, Jee said.

    She said officials will maintain preventive measures to protect vulnerable groups, including senior citizens and people with medical conditions, and continue financial support to lower the costs of tests and hospitalizations for virus carriers.

    “The risk of COVID-19 is not yet over, but considering the decline in cases, improved medical response capacities and high levels of immunity, we have reached a point where we need to step out of an international emergency state and transition toward a long-term management phase,” Jee said during a briefing.

    The announcement came as health workers reported 20,574 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, which represented a slight increase from last week’s level. Lee Sang-won, KDCA’s chief of epidemiological investigations, said the pace of the country’s COVID-19 infections has moderately increased in recent weeks because of the spread of XBB, a new omicron variant. He said it was unlikely that the spread would develop into another huge wave of the virus.

    There are concerns that the lifting of the quarantine mandate will result in people showing up to work when sick, considering the country’s notoriously harsh work culture.

    Lim Sook-young, another KDCA official, said the government, for the time being, will continue to provide subsidies to COVID-19 patients in low-income brackets and to small companies when they offer paid leave to sick employees, so that infected people could be encouraged to isolate and recover.

    She said government agencies were debating further plans to “institutionalize a culture of resting when sick,” including pushing employers to establish consistent guidelines over paid and sick leave and provide employees expanded options for working at home.

    South Korea had maintained a stringent COVID-19 response based on aggressive testing, contact tracing and quarantines during the earlier part of the pandemic, but has eased most of its virus controls since last year as the omicron variant’s surge rendered those containment strategies irrelevant.

    WHO had declared an end to the COVID-19 emergency last week, though Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus noted the viral disease remained a global health threat.

    This may not be 100% accurate (who knows?) but the problem is no one knows for sure the long-term harm mRNA can do.

    This guy, Sucharit Bhakdi, is so cuckoo. How cuckoo do you ask? He has his own Wikipedia entry documenting his insanity. Let's take a closer look...

    Sucharit Bhakdi
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucharit_Bhakdi

    Sucharit Bhakdi is a retired Thai-German microbiologist. In 2020 and 2021 Bhakdi became a prominent source of misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming that the pandemic was "fake" and that COVID-19 vaccines were going to decimate the world's population.[4][3]

    He was a professor at the University of Mainz, where he was head of the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene. The university has disassociated itself from Bhakdi's views on the Coronavirus pandemic.[5] In 2021 Bhakdi's publisher broke off relations following the appearance of an online video in which Bhakdi made antisemitic comments.[6]
