ILK: Not free thinkers

Elaine Pierce, you and your ilk are the problem here in North Idaho! You refer to science as if you know something about it when in-depth scientific analysis has repeatedly debunked your power-grabbing half measures.

For example, your ilk said to wear masks and social distance. When in fact the science bears out that at best, masks have an efficacy rate of less than 50%. Anyone who ever went to school knows that 50% of anything is an epic failure. Lest we even discuss the numerous respiratory issues related to elevated carbon dioxide intake into the lungs.

As for 6 feet apart, anyone who has done even the smallest amount of due diligence knows that the respiratory particles in which the COVID-19 virus travels can spread much farther than 6 feet.

As for the vaccine, which isn’t a vaccine but rather a therapeutic (check the U.S. Patent Office); your ilk first told us that getting vaccinated would prevent us from getting or spreading the COVID-19 virus. That was yet another lie!

So if all of us North Idaho free thinkers are to go to hell, I suppose we will see you and your ilk there doing the devil’s work!
