...so that's falsehood #1...but with an efficacy of 95% against the "Wild Type" SARS-CoV-2 virus spread, had everyone gotten vaccinated quickly, the pandemic would have been brought under control with less chance of new variants...it was that good. Sadly that didn't happen, and variants that were more transmissible emerged. Nonetheless the efficacy against hospitalization and death remained strong...again, not perfect, but effective enough that in ICU's the deaths occurred mostly among those who were not vaccinated...often 90+%.

The government mandated vaccinations only for those in "Front Line" positions...e.g. Medical Staff, Police, Military, etc....Private Institutions/Companies made their own decisions (e.g. Cruise Liners) unless they were involved in government funded work...Falsehood #2

Falsehood #3...Masking has been shown to Mitigate...i.e. reduce transmission...by studies at MIT...and in the NEJM...both of which Baron failed to comprehend...kind of weird since he wouldn't think of not wearing a mask during a surgery...if only to keep his job.

Falsehood #4...the "6' Rule" came from the CDC...Dr. Fauci ran the NIAID organization...not at all the same...and only an idiot would waste precious time during a pandemic running a study to assess the 'optimal' social distancing distance...sadly, we had a surplus of such people, and Baron appears to be one of them...one lesson from all of this is to keep people like Baron away from you with a "10 Foot Pole" ;-)

This is getting to be very entertaining...
