This document critiques the media’s and public health officials’ handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The author argues that lockdowns, mask mandates, and social distancing measures were ineffective in controlling the virus’s spread, presenting numerous charts and graphs to support this claim. He highlights inconsistencies in the messaging from experts and the media, emphasizing the lack of correlation between these measures and changes in COVID-19 infection rates. Furthermore, the author points to significant negative consequences of these policies, including increased deaths from other causes and economic hardship. The overall argument centers on the idea that the pandemic response was misguided and caused substantial unnecessary harm.
