How an uncanny thing called covid destroyed our lives

The years of living with increasingly oppressive Covid restrictions and mandates is a tale of many villains complicit in tyranny and a few heroes of resistance. It’s a story of venal, incompetent politicians and brutish police – thugs in uniform – acting at the behest of power-drunk apparatchiks.

Medically idiotic, economically ruinous, socially disruptive and embittering, culturally dystopian, politically despotic: what was there to like in the Covid era?

Billions, if you were Big Pharma.

Unchecked power, if you were Big State.

Power over the whole population of a state and fame with extended daily TV appearances on all channels, if you were a chief medical officer.

More money and power over the world’s governments and people for the WHO.

Template for action for climate zealots.

Dreamtime for cops given free rein to indulge their inner bully.

But anguished despair, if you were a caring, concerned citizen who loves individual freedom and autonomy.

But if you think it was all justified and good, then you have been taken in hook, line and sinker.

I understand that you don't trust the WHO. Still, when they report 6,972,152 deaths due to covid-19 so far... do you think every one of those deaths is a lie? And what body of doctors and scientists is providing your information?

@ServantOfTheGoddess "source". Will it change your mind if true? Presumably it will give you food for thought? Or is your mind already made up?

ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M

@gol979 I am always open to new ideas and perspectives.

@ServantOfTheGoddess cool. That stat about "covid" replacing flu is correct. So presumably as you asked for the source this is news to you?

ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M

@gol979 It won't be "news" to me until I see an actual source.

@ServantOfTheGoddess a.simple search on the internet, 2021 Jan. Let me know what you think:

@gol979 thank you! Checking on this also lead me to an article in Scientific American, a better source than the Daily Mail for science reporting, which indeed backed up these statistics. They are indeed food for thought, and suggest that masking and social distancing are very effective against the flu. They do not, of course, suggest that the flu and covid are the same thing; that would be silly, since they are caused by different viruses.

@ServantOfTheGoddess so the restrictions for "covid" worked for flu but not "covid"? And why now do the (fraudulent, see kary mullis for clarification) tests, test for flu and "covid"?
