A patently false statement. Very few businesses were closed in any state. I was still traveling on public transit to work and I was not alone.
My apologies. The second half of March and all of April. And why don't you tell me what businesses were open in my town after March 16th.
And yet it was widely known in February that community spread was only a matter of time. Look at the Messonier quote from page 2 of this thread before she was iced for speaking inconvenient truths.
I don't know where you live. Almost all restaurants were doing carryout in my state. Hospitals, grocery, convenience, meat packing, correctional facilities were all open. Public transit was operating. Flights were operating.
Not deflecting, just saying we all do it.
C'mon now...he's pro-choice and for safe vaccines but that always gets vilified as the ad nuseam characterization of "anti-vaxer."

I know you asked Nomad and not myself, but isn't that essentially what mass vaccination will accomplish if it doesn't prevent transmission?
Australia's lockdowns started about then (March 23). But they worked until the state of Victoria screwed up. Thankfully that disaster is now cleaned up too. Cold comfort for the families of over 800 people and destroyed businesses.
While he is quoting an older article when the FDA was under pressure from the WH for good news (of course they were spinning); it was also at a time when cooler heads were emphasizing the need for transparency in research so people would be comfortable getting vaccinated. But, of course you only need to follow a little down Kennedy's twitter feed to see (the Garrison cartoon says it all):C'mon now...he's pro-choice and for safe vaccines but that always gets vilified as the ad nuseam characterization of "anti-vaxer."
It's funny because he has sued the EPA for unethical practices with their collaboration with big oil & gas and since you mentioned "polluted air & water," I'm sure this is okay with you? He's also sued pharma on some medical drug side-effect issues and most people don't seem to be upset with that either. But when he goes after pharma on the vaccines then he becomes ostracized & condemned as an evil "anti-vaxer."
On the these Covid vaccines his primary concern is the rushing of the vaccines without long-term safety data, the fact that the vaccines won't stop transmission, the bias study design, and concern that the FDA is ignoring warnings about the safety of the vaccines:

FDA Whitewashes Warnings About Coronavirus Vaccine Trials
FDA officials ignored input from outside experts, including one doctor’s warning of the potential for “a total disaster.”
They were until someone thought he could fund an effort with tax payer dollars, give it a up-tempo title and claim that he is literally curing the disease as part of a campaign strategy and Big Pharma became his favorite campaign "good news" source. The FDA pressure to embrace corporate news on the matter that Nomad mentions via Kennedy's tweets is part and parcel of the same initiative. Again; we are paying for the cure and commercial producers are in a race to be the first. You can call it Faster than the Speed of Money or Warp Speed. Either way the messaging has been mangled by the WH. Give them credit for something.
Yes. But that is a big 'if'.
And the cruise ship debacle in Sydney which was poorly handled and costly. Sending the boat to park at Port Kembla for a few weeks after the event made little sense except to maybe the NSW premier. Many people in Wollongong and the surrounds were none too happy about it and understandably edgy.
This post popped into my head while doing yardwork. I agree with you that many/most people are too __ (fill in the blank) to be informed, and IMO that's sad. I do think that many/most just want the easiest answer, and even easier solution that's why an anti mask tweet works so well: less than ten words to read and no change to their lives.
