Fascinating that big pharma board members are now an arm of US/Davos dictatorship, without evidence urge crackdown on bars and restaurants due to Covid. Thousands join bar and restaurant owners protesting lockdowns in Marseille, France, Nov. 27, 2020

Added: Pharma board members say it’s “known” that bars and restaurants must be closed. “Does Science Really Demand that Bars and Restaurants Close?”

11/17/20, “”It’s Now Up to Governors to Slow the Spread,” says a Wall Street Journal article — written by [Drs. Gottlieb and McClellan] board members of pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and Illumina, Johnson and Johnson and Cigna. It encourages states and governors to band together and implement restrictions “focus[ed] on known sources of spread, such as bars and nightclubs.”…

But [now well into Nov.] there’s just one small problem: ‘the science’ isn’t really there. In fact, the only evidence we have is circumstantial: all we have are data simulations (in other words, predictions), case studies followed up with contact tracing, and…that’s it....Certainly if you are recommending that an entire industry be slowly strangled to death in the name of public health, you need some science behind you. Media coverage continues to use ‘science’ to remind us that restaurants, gyms and hotels are a high-Covid risk and are potential superspreader events. Last month articles loved to cite a Stanford computer model which uses cell phone data to simulate Covid spread in 10 major US cities and “map the hourly movements of 98 million people from neighborhoods…to points of interest (POIs) such as restaurants and religious establishments.” While tracking mobile phones Big-Brother style gives an indication of density, the study is heavily limited by data used in 1-hour blocks. Someone can spend 5 minutes in a grocery store to buy milk, and 50 minutes later someone else can also spend 5 minutes in the store to buy bread….As Jeffrey Tucker wrote, even the CDC has been misappropriated in support of a war on restaurants and bars. This study restricted analysis of their sample of positive cases “to case patients with close contact to anyone with confirmed COVID-19.” Unless Covid was caught in domestic settings, these case patients would perceive themselves as encountering it in a social setting —such as a bar or restaurant— thereby making them more likely to report having visited a bar/coffee shop…What’s more, this study forgot to ask people whether they dined inside or outside, making the results meaningless, especially given that the survey was about summertime dining.”
