Why are we being lied to about Covid 19?

.
Good question, this is something thatvwil be asked over and over.

For political gain.

See "fogcatcher" is still running with the talking head out of the faculty lounge, I'll still go with Dr Fauci and the CDC, the people with skin in the game

An interesting video, thank you. I watched it through.

The gist seems to be that the COVID-19 pandemic is a worldwide hoax perpetrated by governments with the intention of imposing martial law. Also, it may be an attempt to kill off old people who are a drain on resources.

More precisely: the novel coronavirus exists but it kills hardly anyone who wouldn't die anyway. It is being hyped by the media, presumably in the service of governments.

Is that a fair summary, and do you believe it?

When DEMOCRATS deny, DEMOCRATS lie.

Yes, he did.

The Imperial College report was also the basis for the modeling used by the website COVID Act Now, which local and state officials in the U.S. then used to issue “shelter-in-place” mandates. COVID Act Now, which was founded by a handful of DEMOCRAT activists in Silicon Valley, is an online mapping tool that generates models predicting coronavirus hospitalizations, which have also already proved to be wildly inaccurate.

I may predict: if I go out in the rain, I'll get wet. That does not contradict: if I stay in, I'll keep dry. That's what you're comparing.

The high death prediction was if Britain carried on as usual. The low death prediction was if the current lockdown is maintained for long enough. One is not "walking back" on the other.

But you know that; you're just grinding a political ax.

Yes, he did, and a DEMOCRAT-run website spread his ridiculous worst-case scenario projections in the USA.

Actually...many more to come without help from the powers that be but maybe it is due to their greed..

Almost three decades ago, experts began to sound the alarm that climate change could be associated with changes to the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Since then a large body of literature has accumulated on this subject focused primarily on how climate will affect locations of pathogenic microbes and vectors of infectious diseases. In this Viewpoint, I focus on another threat: the strong possibility that new, previously unknown infectious diseases will emerge from warmer climates as microbes adapt to higher global temperatures that can defeat our endothermy thermal barrier.

The field of infectious diseases has the unenviable distinction of being the only subdiscipline of medicine that routinely has to deal with new diseases and where therapies lose their potency and value from drug resistance. New infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microbes not previously known to medicine emerge from acquisition from another species (e.g., species jump), as occurred with HIV, and from increased susceptibility in humans who become immunosuppressed, who are often the source of so-called opportunistic pathogens.

maggot would also like you to think that you're being lied to about global warming.
He would also like you to believe that you're being lied to about the collapse of the stock market, the deficiencies of the Boeing company, the stupidity of Brexit, Izraeli criminality, the end of Empire and the minuteness of his pecker.
maggot lies to you. Surely you know that by now.

Funny how that little tidbit of info was left out of the original announcements of these dire predictions.

Of course it was included in the announcement; you just weren't paying attention. It was reported here and many other parts of the "fake news media":

March 17, 2020
The Imperial College London group reported that if nothing was done by governments and individuals and the pandemic remained uncontrolled, 510,000 would die in Britain and 2.2 million in the United States over the course of the outbreak ...

If the British government quickly went all-out to suppress viral spread — aiming to reverse epidemic growth and reduce the case load to a low level — then the number of dead in the country could drop to below 20,000.

No "walking back" there, just different scenarios.

Looks like they think the lockdown is working. I hope they're right.

If you say so sport, not subscribing to WaPo to find out. You know damn well much of the MSM reported these dire predictions without ever mentioning that caveat. Why would the idiot even make such a stupid prediction? Why didn't he give us the lower numbers in the first place? We all know the answer.
