Interestingly, when this 6-foot thing was first proposed in British Columbia, Dr. Bonny Henry actually SAID that there was no science behind it.

That's probably one of the few hard truths she's uttered

Sometimes, they speak the quiet part loudly!

In 2020 I watched a video of a person in a lab talking with and without mask. He spit a whole lot more when without. Even though that didn’t explain the aerosolized aspect, it gave a powerful visual.

Needless to say, I wore masks for the next 6 months after that.

Thanks, Ana. They did a remarkable job scaring us into submission, huh?

Meanwhile, they frightened most folks into wearing masks but neglected to tell us that masks are as ineffective as standing six feet apart!

I like the dentist to wear one. I don't care much about a doctor wearing one. And yes, some people should wear one !

Also, it was known very early on that the Dreaded Plague spread like other respiratory viruses, through aerosols that can float around for hours or even days. So the 6 foot rule, plastic barriers, one-way arrows, and masks made absolutely no sense.

Scientism is powerful stuff and the perception management industry knows how to exploit it. This has been a good social litmus test. A depressing one too...

Maybe what people eat reduces immune response.

I rarely take any pills or isolated supplements, but yes, you are right. The sick people who blame everything but the food they eat are highly probably wrong.

Pop another bag of chips, rip apart another package of sweets, crack another beer!

6 feet apart was a joke! They are spraying these pathogens on us. They’ve been testing things on us for decades. I refused to go to grocery stores due to the masks and 6’ apart floor stickers! Instacart was a wonderful alternative to that madness.

It was psycholigical conditioning. Six ft apart / six ft deep. Subconsciously make people think of death when near others.

Yes, Joel! In fact, my previous post on this topic was titled "6 feet apart/6 feet under"!

That's okay, you're basically caught up by reading today's "throwback" post.

I assumed it was because the WEF wants us all six feet under ground.

It is actually WAY weirder than that, my friend. The 6 foot distance was actually a school science project proposed by 14 year old Laura Glass.

https://www.rt.com/op-ed/489710-social-distancing-bush-lockdown-covid/

"Laura, with some guidance from her dad, devised a computer simulation that showed how people – family members, co-workers, students in schools, people in social situations – interact. What she discovered was that school kids come in contact with about 140 people a day, more than any other group. Based on that finding, her program showed that in a hypothetical town of 10,000 people, 5,000 would be infected during a pandemic if no measures were taken, but only 500 would be infected if the schools were closed."

She is listed as an author, along with her dad and two others, on a paper actually put out by the CDC in 2006! "The primary author of this paper was Robert J. Glass, a complex-systems analyst with Sandia National Laboratories. He had no medical training, much less an expertise in immunology or epidemiology. "

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/12/11/06-0255_article

"In other words, it was a high-school science experiment that eventually became law of the land, and through a circuitous route propelled not by science but politics."

The original article was here:

The Science also said zero distancing was safe if done during Mostly Peaceful Protests.
