The scam-demic was the justification for the cheat-by-mail-in ballots.

They had to convince the public that the Black Death was sweeping the country, and you would literally be risking your life if you stood in line to vote.

This is why any doctors who went against those talking points were cancelled.

This is why any talk of ivermectin as a simple treatment were shut down.

This is why vaccine trials were stopped when they saw there was a problem with adverse effects/death.

“The modeling was flawed,...”

in this case there was intentional exaggeration to create fear and panic for the lockdown and future jab agendas of Big Alphabet, Big Med and Big Pharma.

those of us who based our own estimates of infectivity and fatality on the Diamond Princess and available reports of infection rates of military personnel confined on ships got it far closer to right.

Pres. Trump got sandbagged.
Fauci\Blix used Neil Ferguson’s crap modeling and presented it to Pres. Trump.
Ferguson’s modeling history has been so inept thru the years...we screamed about it here.
MSM turned a deaf ear to it.

They probably used the climate model computers.

The 1976 All George Box rule that “All models are wrong, some are useful”, needs an addition: Models touted by academics, bureaucrats and liberals, are never useful.
