1. "When researchers at the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center exposed SARS-CoV-2 in simulated saliva to artificial sunlight (equivalent to a sunny day), 90% of viruses were inactivated within seven minutes." https://www.forbes.com/sites/jvchamary/2020/06/29/light-coronavirus/">https://www.forbes.com/sites/jvc...

2. "[The CDC] has reversed an update made to its coronavirus guidance that stated COVID-19 is an airborne virus. The health agency said that update, posted to its website... was made in error."

3. "[The CDC] just released a new scientific brief that says your risk of contracting COVID-19 from a surface is about 1 in 10,000. That means, on average, you have a 0.01% chance of actually picking up the virus from, say, touching a counter." https://news.yahoo.com/risk-getting-covid-19-surface-194600830.html">https://news.yahoo.com/risk-gett...
4. "[A] meta-analysis of 54 studies with 77,758 total participants... found that secondary attack rates were higher for symptomatic people than asymptomatic people â an 18% rate for symptomatic people and a 0.7% rate for asymptomatic people." https://tallahasseereports.com/2020/12/31/asymptomatic-covid-spread-unlikely-but-possible-according-to-study/">https://tallahasseereports.com/2020/12/3...
5. "We did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community."

6. "We in the [WHO] do not advocate lockdowns...

7. "Fauci has been saying that the country needs to vaccinate 70% to 85% of the population to reach herd immunity from Covid-19. But he inexplicably ignores natural immunity.

8. The CDC reports that 251 patients under 17 years old have died with COVID since the pandemic began.
There are 74.2 million Americans under 18. That is a survival rate for that age demographic of about 99.9997%. The survival rate for 18-29 is about 99.997%.

9. The average age of COVID death is 78.6 years old. The average age of life expectancy for those patients was 78.6 years old. Overall survival rate 99.97%.
"CDC data also show that Americans, regardless of age group, are far more likely to die of something other than COVID-19."
