It was and continues to be the biggest scam of real science that I can think of.
From a social science prospective it shows how easy the masses can be manipulated and it took less than a year to do so.
I was thinking about this today while walking around WalMart.
- If the mask thing isn't stupid enough (people are still wearing them here), remember the one way traffic the stores had set up? If you went against the flow, some Karen was there to scold you.
- Threats of fines and jail time if you didn't abide by the quarantine mandates and curfews (the Rona is really bad after sundown).
- Mom and Pop pizza joints, diners, and small buisnesses are forced to close and put out of business but convenience stores and liquor stores are "essential businesses." I, being a WalMart employee, was given a letter to carry with me that stated that I was an "essential worker" in case the cops stopped me after curfew (WTF?).
- Want to get some fresh air? TFB... city and state parks are closed... Even dog parks were closed because the "experts" say that you can catch the Rona from Fido. Stay inside, they say. We need to "flatten the curve."
The extremes that the powers that be force fed the population defies all logic but people took it hook, line, and sinker. How dare you question the government, the media, and the quack "experts."
Folks wanted people that didn't get the shot to be rounded up and isolated from the folks that did. Folks carried their vaccine passport around in case they were questioned about getting the miracle injection. Folks wanted people to be charged with manslaughter if it could be proven that they didn't follow the rules and passed the virus on to someone who ended up dying from it.
You can't make this $hit up. This was reality.
