What, exactly, are your medical qualifications to render such a judgement? In any event, I politely suggest that the facts suggest otherwise. Here is a report from the National Post:The BLM riots consisted of hundreds to thousands of maskless people within close enough proximity to breath on one another, breathing in each other's air. It doesn't matter that there was no roof above them and they were outside. Being inside while observing social distancing measures would do more to stem the proliferation of COVID than large groups of people within breathing proximity of one another, even while being outside. To say otherwise is propaganda.
When millions of people streamed into the streets around the world to protest the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, it gave a sinking feeling to public health officials, whether or not they supported the cause behind the demonstrations.
“It’s a perfect setup for further spread of the virus,” said Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the United States, in early June. “I get very concerned, as do my colleagues in public health, when they see these kinds of crowds. There certainly is a risk. I can say that with confidence.”
But it never came to pass. Hundreds of cities saw protests in North America earlier in the month, but it’s hard to trace even a single outbreak to the rallies. Vera Etches, Ottawa’s medical officer of health, confirmed this week that not even a single new infection could be attributed to the recent demonstration in the city.
