Well, it is becoming so clear that any  reasonably intelligent person can't really argue with it, that the entire COVID response was total bullshit.   To be fair, Trump deserves some of the blame for this.  Especially in blindly believing Fauci.  Yet Trump's response seems mostly driven by concern, tempered with federalism.  His drive to find a vaccine, at the time, was laudable even if it looks like a license to print money and a get out of jail free card for big pharma in hindsight.  

The bigger problem, IMO, was the "scientific establishment" and the "experts" who used their credentials to force compliance on people and institutions, big eva who rolled over and put their legs in the air for the federal government, the MSM who continued to spread the bullshit and ridiculed anyone who pushed back.  Between the MSM and big pharma, their quashing of the evidence about Ivermectin and Chlorthalidone, caused who knows how much harm.    The governors, CA and NY we're looking at you, who instituted the most draconian measures and literally killed people.   Whoever funded the research in Wuhan that potentially led to the COVID release, and the scum that poo-pooed the lab release theory. 

Finally to the reprobates like Dan, who went out of their way to back the draconian restrictions, bullied anyone who refused to submit, ridiculed and lied about things like Ivermectin, and were insufferable for years in protecting and promoting utter bullshit.  

Nice job, y'all really screwed things up.  How much of the decline in student performance is directly related to y'all?   We'll probably never know, but there's no question that y'all are part of that problem too.

It was indeed exploited to oppress the masses. Those who worry about oppression are more often seeking to oppress, or are blind to who is doing the oppressing and are no more than useful idiots for the worst oppressors.

I would add that there were those who enabled the nonsense by suggesting disregard for the most ludicrous mandates (masks, the 6' rule, etc.) should be followed to allay the fears of those most taken in by the fear-mongering, while legitimate facts about who is most susceptible and how were minimized. I preferred truth, which was sadly lacking during that time.

It was about spreading fear, and forcing people to rely on government far that which they shouldn't need to. That Fauci and company actually funded the research seems like it should have people more pissed than they are.

The reality is that there is blood on the hands of various government entities, church/faith leaders, and shills like Dan. They need to own their complicity is spreading a huge pile of bullshit that literally and figuratively harmed people. Not the least of those harmed are the children.
