A combination of immunity across the population effectively ended the pandemic. It had nothing to do with any pandemic policies from governments. The fact that this is up for debate is a testament to the power of media misinformation.
Among the fearless media columnist set, there's a desperation to return to the glory days of pandemic restrictions.
Even the extremist public health agencies such as the one that dictated their edicts to the city of Los Angeles have acknowledged that summer surges have happened every year since 2020.
Sure enough, that's exactly what the data shows, summer increases in Covid spread, decreasing over time as population immunity grows and testing decreases.
"Mask mandates, social distancing guidelines and restrictions on large gatherings have all but disappeared. This return to normalcy, while massively psychologically and economically beneficial, has provided the virus with ample opportunities to spread.".
Solomon then advocates for the return of pandemic restrictions and a "Commitment to public health" to combat the summer 2020 surge.
Beyond the absurdity of demanding restrictions that have already failed, Solomon is ignoring that there was effectively no "Surge" in summer 2020, in any meaningful metric.
Those massive peaks though? Those came with the strictest restrictions of the pandemic, the restrictions Solomon wants to return.
