Former head of NIH admits 6-foot social distancing rule had no scientific basis at all
It was all a lie: In the transcript of a closed-door interview of former NIH director Francis Collins that was released on May 16, 2024, Collins admitted under questioning that there was absolutely no science research or justification behind 6-foot social distancing rule that the government imposed during the Wuhan panic.
“We asked Dr. Fauci where the six feet came from and he said it kind of just appeared, is the quote,” the majority counsel on the committee told Dr. Collins, per the transcript. “Do you recall science or evidence that supported the six-feet distance?”
“I do not,” Collins replied.
Counsel then asked, “Is that I do not recall or I do not see any evidence supporting six feet?”
To which Collins replied “I did not see evidence, but I’m not sure I would have been shown evidence at that point.”
“Since then, it has been an awfully large topic. Have you seen any evidence since then supporting six feet?” Counsel replied.
“No,” said Collins.
None of this is a surprise to those who were paying attention. Back in August 2020 I reported how there was no scientific evidence backing up the six-foot social distancing rule, and that in fact it appears it came from a high school research project that was not based on actual data but on a computer simulation comparable to SIM City.
Even now, the CDC continues to recommend the 6-foot spacing rule, though those rules are based on nothing more than the opinion of some petty dictator in the bureaucracy.
During the entire COVID panic I complained repeatedly about the lack of scientific evidence. Every time the CDC or the government would change its rules, I’d ask, “What new research has appeared to justify this change?” Of course, there never was any new research. These petty goons simply made it up as they went along.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

Way back when – I read it came from the days of widespread tuberculosis & some Dr. that decided 6ft was about as far as sputum would travel when a patient coughed.
I try to keep a reasonable distance from sick people. I also try to stay out of their personal space. 6 feet is a reasonable rule of thumb for the first even without rigorous scientific study. The personal space varies by situation and culture. I dislike strangers in my personal space and expect many people feel the same. A bit of common sense goes a long way.
Minor edit in first paragraph: “closed-door interview”
Andi: Fixed. Thanks.
“A bit of common sense goes a long way.”
Common sense was suspended by government mandate during the Covid event.

Suspend your common sense and do as you are instructed.
That is the world model being attempted to be installed by Ivey league Eggheads I.E. moralistic authoritarians (D & RINO’s).

For decades now, we were told anyone worried about fluoridated water was a quack or crank…to the point I believed it as well.
