In February 2020, President Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force had our nation’s collective ear, eventually recommending masks and a standardized 6-foot social distancing requirement to stop the spread.
Many of us asked, why 6 feet? Dr. Fauci was flip-flopping on wearing masks so maybe he would change this requirement too.
As a result of this arbitrary number, business occupancy numbers plummeted as businesses had to factor in how many customers could be in their businesses, per square foot, trying to hit the 6-foot ratio.
Come to find out that this number was not correct after all. The actual number the CDC wanted was 10 feet, can you imagine what this additional distance would have done to our culture?
One of former President Trump’s commissioners of the Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, told CBS’ Face the Nation Sunday the six-foot social distancing rule created to slow the spread of the coronavirus was “arbitrary” and has decreased confidence in the pandemic response. Dr. Gottlieb also admitted that “nobody knows where it came from.”
Gottlieb also said no one knows where it came from, as the original proposal was 10 feet.

Speaking with Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan, Gottlieb also discussed the rules and risks early in the pandemic, explaining that the Trump administration shifted its focus to the impact lockdowns and rules would have on the economy and children.
“My view is that they were sold on the idea that you weren’t going to be able to really affect the spread and that anything you did was just going to have so many repercussions in terms of impact on children who might not be in school. Impact on the economy, that the costs were worse than the disease,” he said, explaining that schools were a “perfect example of the lack of effective policymaking.”
“So the single reason why most schools remained shut was that the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) was telling them they had to keep kids six feet apart.”
“If- if CDC has said you can only- you have to keep kids three feet apart, then a lot of schools would have been able open.”
“And in fact, when the Biden administration wanted to open schools in the spring, this past spring, they got the CDC to change that guidance from six feet to three feet,” admitting the original guidance was “arbitrary” and had unknown origins.
“The six feet was arbitrary in and of itself, nobody knows where it came from,” he said. “The initial recommendation that the CDC brought to the White House and I talk about this was 10 feet, and a political appointee in the White House said we can’t recommend 10 feet.”
“Nobody can measure 10 feet. It’s inoperable. Society will shut down. So the compromise was around six feet. Now imagine if that detail had leaked out. Everyone would have said this is the White House politically interfering with the CDC’s judgment,” he continued:
The CDC said 10 feet, it should be 10 feet, but 10 feet was no more right than six feet and ultimately became three feet. But when it became three feet, the basis for the CDC’s decision to ultimately revise it from six to three feet was a study that they had conducted the prior fall. So they changed it in the spring.
They had done a study in the fall where they showed that if you have two masked individuals, two people wearing masks, the risk of transmission is reduced 70% with masks if you’re three feet apart. So they said on the basis of that, we can now make a judgment that three feet is an appropriate distance.
Which begs the question if they had that study result in the fall? Why didn’t they change the advice in the fall? Why did they wait until the spring?
Those decisions, he added, easily undermine Americans’ confidence in advice from public health officials. “This is how the whole thing feels arbitrary and not science-based. So we talk about a very careful, science-based process and these anecdotes get exposed, and that’s where Americans start to lose confidence in how the decisions got made,”
Just as the masks and forcing people to stay 6 feet apart, without any empirical science, has discredited Faicu and the entire gang in DC.
It’s time, send everything back to the states and let them determine the best policies for protecting their state’s constituents.

Not arbitrary at all. 6’ apart and wearing a mask are part of satanic rituals and MK UTRA programming.
Everything about this “pandemic” including the pandemic itself is arbitrary. It’s all a bunch of made up nonsense. We have nearly destroyed the productive world all for a virus that kills only 1 in 100 of those who contract it. That is around the same amount who die in a bad flu season.
The few of us left with ‘working brains’ ( common sense ) knew from the beginning that this whole thig was a ‘collusion’ between world leaders to destroy the world economy and mkae people ‘controllable’..
“Many of us asked, why 6 feet?”
It is the unobscured distance for clear facial recognition scanning.(I have read)
Because in a study, that was the distance individuals had to be apart in order to be identified by surveillance cameras
my infection control RN wife said that there IS something to that distance. I don’t recall it exactly but she said it had something to do with how far breath particles go before hitting the ground.
In Ancient Israel the law required that Persons with Leprosy could come no closer to anyone than than 4 cubits – 4 Cubits equals 6 feet
So the 6 feet rule was based on how close people with Leprosy could come near to anyone.
They knew this when they made up the social distancing rule
Once a problem is created that they can solve, the problem never goes awaym because for it to disappear would mean that they were wrong again.
For social distancing to work, the air must be stagnant. A very slight breeze, including that produced by indoor air conditioning, will cross that 6-foot distance in a matter of seconds. For all practical purposes there is no safe distance when protection from a virus is concerned.
Real viruses don’t spread. People really need to learn about virology. As to the 6 foot rule, that comes from Satanic rituals, look it up. Yes, these people are EVIL.
