For most of the last year, we have been inundated with stories in the media about the utter horror of COVID-19.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor at Stanford University Medical School, suggested on Thursday that Dr. Anthony Fauci is probably the number one anti-vaxxer due to the way he s continued to urge Americans to follow COVID-19 mitigation measures even if they are vaccinated. Dr. Fauci is probably the number one anti-vaxxer in the country in some sense, because he has modeled behavior that has made people think the vaccine won t give you back your life, but it will, Bhattacharya said while appearing on Fox News

Exclusive: Florida Gov. DeSantis Says Lockdowns Were a ‘Huge Mistake’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a statewide stay-at-home order on April 1 last year, locking down the Sunshine State for 30 days amid global panic about the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak. Sitting in his office exactly one year later, he told The Epoch Times that the lockdowns were a “huge mistake,” including in his own state.
“We wanted to mitigate the damage. Now, in hindsight, the 15 days to slow the spread and the 30 it didn’t work,” DeSantis said. “We shouldn’t have gone down that road.”
Florida’s lockdown order was notably less strict than some of the stay-at-home measures imposed in other states. Recreational activities like walking, biking, playing golf, and beachgoing were allowed, while what constituted an “essential business” was broadly defined.
