from The National Pulse:

Former director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Francis Collins is admitting the stringently enforced social-distancing measures endorsed by top health agencies were not underpinned by firm scientific evidence. The revelation came in closed-door testimony earlier this year before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Collins was asked whether he recalled there being any scientific evidence backing up the six-feet social distancing requirements enforced by state governments across the county during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I do not,” the former NIH director replied.
