SF: More Deaths from Drug Overdose Than COVID-19

Israel Scraps Vaccine Passport System

Though it sounds good, to me this is mixed news, because Israel is not outright outlawing mask-wearing.  Apparently, the authorities are attributing the low COVID death count to--you guessed it--a great vaccination program.  

Israel owes its success in curtailing the spread of the deadly respiratory virus to a world-beating vaccination campaign, that he seen the vast majority of its adult population fully inoculated. 
Israel makes the right decision, scraps vaccine passport system. All restrictions lifted June 1. https://t.co/LpnKRjGU2X

New York April Concert That Defied Lockdown Protocols

Writes a friend:

Lew,

A month ago some New York City “hardcore” bands performed in Tompkins Square Park for an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 people.  A packed together crowd, little masks, some in the crowd bouncing up against each other, etc.  A “narrative” would be that only stereotypical “rednecks” and such would participate in such an event at the time, but this shows otherwise, and also apparently looks like a relatively safe event weeks later.   Alas, it hasn’t got much coverage, but perhaps your readers would find it interesting, irregardless of their musical tastes.

Masks: "they do more harm than good and the decision to mandate them for healthy people in the community was introduced as a psychological control method"

In addition to their recognition of the ethically dubious nature of covert ‘nudges’, a SAGE insider, Dr. Gavin Morgan, also offered support to HART’s view on masks: that is, that they do more harm than good and the decision to mandate them for healthy people in the community was introduced as a psychological control method rather than a means of reducing viral transmission. The UCL educational psychologist was energetically opposed to masks from the outset of the crisis, describing them as ‘dehumanizing,’ but ultimately his view didn’t count as some SPI-B members liked masks because they conveyed a message of ‘solidarity.'
