It’s been over a year now since the peak of the COVID pandemic, which left a trail of wreckage all over the world. The sickness and deaths and strained medical resources were bad enough, but the social isolation, decimated economies, missed education, and other related side-effects just rubbed salt into our festering wounds.
Ultimately Covid was about as deadly as a bad strain of flu - it caused premature death in those with weakened immunity and other complications. But how much of the excess deaths from Covid was the result of iatrogenisis - the badly mistaken protocols and policies prescribed for treatment itself?
Covid wasn't so bad - it's how we reacted to Covid that hurt us that made it so bad.
My level of cynicism for the gov't couldn't be higher. But it's what the masses think that matters. How much do the masses have to think and worry about? Tons. Paying for food, their mortgage, their credit card debt, their student loans, whether their little bit of money in the bank is safe, the fact of no savings, the price of used, let alone, new, cars and the ailing condition of their current vehicle ...and the list goes on.
So, yes, the list of worries may indeed lend the masses to start distrusting gov't. But overall, might the worries themselves, the day-to-day strains of the reality of their situation, detract from any effort to determine cause, and thereby, decrease action against gov't policy? I don't know.
It matters not [save my health] that I didn't buy into the vax/mask propaganda, seeing it for what it was [and stuff like this always is], a major plan to gain more control over the masses, and remove more Liberties. The masses bought it, lock, stock and barrel. Fear worked. Marvelously. Fear worked so well that it pitted us against each other. The fight wasn't against gov't, it was against those who didn't buy into gov't's pitch.
As an aside, one of the atrocities that angered me the most, was the requirement that young children [pre-schoolers on up] be masked at school. The fact that my grandson [then 4-5yrs old] had to be masked for hours at a time, depriving his not yet fully developed brain of oxygen. What competent Doctor would approve such a thing! None. Mandates like this were done by design, on purpose, with ill-intent. [Gates is an enemy of thePeople.]
