Lunacy from the Left!

[Prayer Warrior]

This is what some of America's "health experts" are saying about the violent protests.

"Over 1,000 health experts sign a letter saying protests are 'vital to the public health.'"

"As public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission.... This should not be confused with a permissive stance on all gatherings, particularly protests against stay-home orders."

"Those actions not only oppose public health intervention, but are also rooted in white nationalism and run contrary to respect for Black lives."

NYC Councilman Mark D. Levine tweeted: "Let's be clear about something: if there is a spike in coronavirus cases in the next two weeks, don't blame the protestors. Blame racism."

(quotes on Fox News, Tucker Carlson Tonight)

You can read the letter in one of my posts below (post #18).

Basically, they're saying that the protests by Americans against stay-at-home orders are "rooted in white nationalism" (i.e. racism). What??? Aren't these Americans peacefully protesting because they want to work and provide for their families!

BUT it's "vital to public health" for people to protest police brutality even though many are not wearing masks, and some are killing and looting..........

So...peacefully protesting stay-at-home orders...........BAD!
Violently protesting police brutality................GOOD!

He should really have said "Blame Climate Change". After all Greta believes this, and so does Pope Francis.

It is simply astounding as to the rubbish that is being spouted by the Leftists today. Fairy tales would be the appropriate description.

I'm waiting for them to figure out a way to blame so-called Climate Change for the coronavirus..... Maybe they already have.

Researchers have been working on this for years...to no avail....they are working on a vaccine to cure stupid, but they are afraid that they are too stupid to take it.
Besides that our education system is being run by psychologists that want to play with young minds...curriculums that are designed for cognitive realigning of our young from grade school to collage to support atheism, communism, disrespect for authority, homosexuality, and drug use. Principles and teachers are told not to let the parents know, and this is in their own documented procedures. Christians need to be very aware of what their children are being taught.
There is a sub-culture that fantasies about anarchy and chaos, break down of society, you can see it in the movies....
Society forced to accept lawlessness as respectful behavior.
Disband law enforcement officers and open the gates of the prisons.
These idiots can attack, murder, steal, and destroy, but if one of their's gets killed resisting arrest, he is a martyr. They were just upset...that statement came from Obama regarding the Ferguson riots.
Now we are watching people being murdered....but that is ok....they are just upset.

You said a mouthful! One of these days, I need to start a thread about education, esp. the "cognitive realigning" that schools are doing, and they're planning to use advanced AI (artificial intelligence) to do it.

More like Communists.

 

[historyb]

True. Right now though the rioters and liberals have something in common with the KKK and Nazi's, they all care about race. The rioters want to defund the police and become the brown shirts and SS

I see what you mean.

Correct. Everyone should note that there was essentially no difference between Nazism and Communism. They both included the word "Socialism" which means that the state becomes their god.
Nazi = National SOCIALIST German Workers' Party.

Yes. As a matter of fact they have. I just can recall who said that. It could have been Leftist Pope Francis.

Here's an excerpt from a surprisingly balanced article from Politico:

Suddenly, Public Health Officials Say Social Justice Matters More Than Social Distance
For months, health experts told Americans to stay home. Now, many are encouraging the public to join mass protests.

The experts maintain that their messages are consistent—that they were always flexible on Americans going outside, that they want protesters to take precautions and that they're prioritizing public health by demanding an urgent fix to systemic racism.

But their messages are also confounding to many who spent the spring strictly isolated on the advice of health officials, only to hear that the need might not be so absolute after all. It’s particularly nettlesome to conservative skeptics of the all-or-nothing approach to lockdown, who point out that many of those same public health experts—a group that tends to skew liberal—widely criticized activists who held largely outdoor protests against lockdowns in April and May, accusing demonstrators of posing a public health danger.

They would be more useful if they took a serious look as to why 60% of black children grow up without a father in the home and 80% of incarcerations in prisons are black men. Find the reasons for this and you will solve a lot of problems.

And I read an article that said vegans blame meat-eaters for the rise in temperatures.

The white people are heading down the same derelict path the statistics clearly show.

Anyone destroying another's private property are total degenerates. such should have been totally condemned by all and especially the media out right, sadly this was not the case.
Them peoples property that's being destroyed do not get insurance when riots take place you all know, them peoples livelihood may be totally destroyed.

Any person who was their at all should be made pay for the damages to property and livelihoods of people effected by such out of control madness. that way if anyone wants to be genuine in a protest, they all will make sure that such morons are held totally accountable for their actions.
If they were honest protesters they should of took charge of the situation before it got out of hand, they have to get a licence to protest and if they don't bingo they should be dealt with paying full cost to all damage caused. There is no excuse at all for such wilful madness.

Mob rule is what we seen and such people braking in and stealing should be shot on sight, they are terrorist ! such has noting to do with any protest, that's only wilful criminally insanity.

The Media were clearly aiding and abetting the morons and so is any political person who did not totally outright condemn such riots, they are guilty, they made out that the bloke who died was above everything. what about the people that got killed and bashed due to this rioting madness, 2 wrongs do not make a right.

All people who take part in protests should prove who they are and sign a book with the main organisation that is running such a thing and the different groups should have their own coloured arm band with a number on it, supply by the organisation. this wilful free for all rioting has got to stop. their is no excuse for any such wilful madness. such has to be stop.
Law and order must be totally maintained and never give in to criminal malice intent.
If you let it slide the criminal morons only get more self righteous and brazen out of control year after year.

Nobody today wants the truth about anything. However it is necessary that blacks who know better address their people and expose the hypocrisy and racism of all the black politicians and mayors in the USA. There need to be more black voices raised against the lunacy of the Left, which uses race to promote its evil agenda.

Hey can u please supply a reference to those quotes

This CNN article contains a copy of the letter quoted on Fox News in the OP.

Over 1,000 health professionals sign a letter saying, Don't shut down protests using coronavirus concerns as an excuse - CNN

Here's the letter:

Open letter advocating for an anti-racist public health response to demonstrations against systemic injustice occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic

On April 30, heavily armed and predominantly white protesters entered the State Capitol building in Lansing, Michigan, protesting stay-home orders and calls for widespread public masking to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Infectious disease physicians and public health officials publicly condemned these actions and privately mourned the widening rift between leaders in science and a subset of the communities that they serve. As of May 30, we are witnessing continuing demonstrations in response to ongoing, pervasive, and lethal institutional racism set off by the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, among many other Black lives taken by police. A public health response to these demonstrations is also warranted, but this message must be wholly different from the response to white protesters resisting stay-home orders. Infectious disease and public health narratives adjacent to demonstrations against racism must be consciously anti-racist, and infectious disease experts must be clear and consistent in prioritizing an anti-racist message.

White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19. Black people are twice as likely to be killed by police compared to white people, but the effects of racism are far more pervasive. Black people suffer from dramatic health disparities in life expectancy, maternal and infant mortality, chronic medical conditions, and outcomes from acute illnesses like myocardial infarction and sepsis. Biological determinants are insufficient to explain these disparities. They result from long-standing systems of oppression and bias which have subjected people of color to discrimination in the healthcare setting, decreased access to medical care and healthy food, unsafe working conditions, mass incarceration, exposure to pollution and noise, and the toxic effects of stress. Black people are also more likely to develop COVID-19. Black people with COVID-19 are diagnosed later in the disease course and have a higher rate of hospitalization, mechanical ventilation, and death. COVID-19 among Black patients is yet another lethal manifestation of white supremacy. In addressing demonstrations against white supremacy, our first statement must be one of unwavering support for those who would dismantle, uproot, or reform racist institutions.

Staying at home, social distancing, and public masking are effective at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. To the extent possible, we support the application of these public health best practices during demonstrations that call attention to the pervasive lethal force of white supremacy. However, as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission. We support them as vital to the national public health and to the threatened health specifically of Black people in the United States. We can show that support by facilitating safest protesting practices without detracting from demonstrators' ability to gather and demand change. This should not be confused with a permissive stance on all gatherings, particularly protests against stay-home orders. Those actions not only oppose public health interventions, but are also rooted in white nationalism and run contrary to respect for Black lives. Protests against systemic racism, which fosters the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 on Black communities and also perpetuates police violence, must be supported.

Therefore, we propose the following guidance to support public health:
● Support local and state governments in upholding the right to protest and allow protesters to gather.
● Do not disband protests under the guise of maintaining public health for COVID-19 restrictions.
● Advocate that protesters not be arrested or held in confined spaces, including jails or police vans, which are some of the highest-risk areas for COVID-19 transmission.
● Oppose any use of tear gas, smoke, or other respiratory irritants, which could increase risk for COVID- 19 by making the respiratory tract more susceptible to infection, exacerbating existing inflammation, and inducing coughing.
● Demand that law enforcement officials also respect infection prevention recommendations by maintaining distance from protesters and wearing masks.
● Reject messaging that face coverings are motivated by concealment and instead celebrate face coverings as protective of the public's health in the context of COVID-19.
● Prepare for an increased number of infections in the days following a protest. Provide increased access to testing and care for people in the affected communities, especially when they or their family members put themselves at risk by attending protests.
● Support the health of protesters by encouraging the following:
○ Use of face coverings.
○ Distance of at least 6 feet between protesters, where possible.
○ Demonstrating consistently alongside close contacts and moving together as a group, rather than extensively intermingling with multiple groups.
○ Staying at home when sick, and using other platforms to oppose racism for high-risk individuals, and those unable or uncomfortable to attend in person.
● Encourage allies who may wish to facilitate safe demonstrations through the following:
○ Providing masks, hand-washing stations, or hand sanitizer to demonstrators.
○ Providing eye protection, such as face shields or goggles, for protection against COVID-19 and chemical irritants used to disperse crowds.
○ Bringing wrapped, single-serving food or beverages to sustain people protesting.
○ Providing chalk markings or other designations to encourage appropriate distancing between protesters.
○ Supplying ropes, which can be knotted at 6-foot intervals, to allow people to march together while maintaining spacing.
○ Donating to bail funds for protesters
● Listen, and prioritize the needs of Black people as expressed by Black voices.
These are strategies for harm reduction. It is our sincere hope that all participants will be able to follow these suggestions for safer public demonstrations, assisted by allies where possible and necessary, but we recognize that this may not always be the case. Even so, we continue to support demonstrators who are tackling the paramount public health problem of pervasive racism. We express solidarity and gratitude toward demonstrators who have already taken on enormous personal risk to advocate for their own health, the health of their communities, and the public health of the United States. We pledge our services as allies who share this goal.

This letter is signed by 1,288 public health professionals, infectious diseases professionals, and community stakeholders.
