Social distancing, specifically,6,ft had zero to do with science, at least medical science. It was the maximum that behavior scientists figured they could get the maximum amount of people to accept.
Masks, are a joke. If you actually believe in science, the size of the virus vs the gaps in fiber weaves is all you need.
The vaccine was somewhat effective in the original strain, subsequent strains evolved away from vaccine effectiveness.
Reality is, the pandemic ended because the virus luckily was created(yup, again, if you believe in science, there is no other answer)to not be extremely virulent, and like most virus, they evolve to become more contagious and less deadly. Simple science, if the virus kills the host, it too dies, leaving the virus that doesn't kill as the dominant strain. So in short the real saving grace, wasnt vaccines, it was mutations and evolution.
Now, and I say it with 2 shots in me, but as someone who wouldn't allow my kids near a needle. There is undeniable science around myocarditis and the vaccine increasing rates of it, especially in young men. The same young men, are seemingly having heart issues long term, exemplified by numerous high level athletes and heart issues.
Second, there were ZERO long term studies on an mRNA vaccine. I knew, when I got the shot(only way I could get to Hawaii at the time), that I was the guinea pig. I obviously HOPE that long term, it's nothing, but, we all will see together.
The conspiracy theories were fueled 200% by a small group of political scientists. The heads of the 3 letter science agencies got away from science and data, and into politics and behavioral control. Had they been honest and simply presented facts and data, there would be no conspiracy. Instead, especially fauci, they did the opposite. Which is terrible, because there will be a next time, and next time, few will listen
