Never Forget Their Excuses for Lockdowns

Excerpt:
"The not-infrequently offered excuse is that since most organizations and individuals in the libertarian space either weren’t staffed by medical doctors or weren’t medical doctors themselves, how could they have made credible cases against the lockdowns? Instead, and rather than take a stand, they adopted “wait and see” approaches so that medical verdicts could be rendered. About those verdicts, some libertarian types are now saying that those who were publicly against the lockdowns back in 2020 were correct, but they made their cases obnoxiously and blindly given their lack of medical knowledge. The only response to this kind of dissembling is nonsense, utter nonsense. See this write-up’s introductory paragraph to see why.

Just as the worst arguments against the lockdowns were medical and statistical, the medical and statistical arguments made in favor of lockdowns were, if possible, even worse. As stated above, no one requires force to avoid sickness or death. About this point, more on it in a bit."

    I think the lock downs were a failed attempt at the one world government. It was planned well in advanced to the virus even making landfall in the US. The three biggest peaces of circumstantial evidence that this was all bullshit:

    1) no bring out your dead – if this was a real pandemic, I would have known someone that had died. I spoke to others, they said they knew of someone that died but if I pushed, I’d find out that they died with COVID but had a comorbidity.

    2) The grocery store arrows that said maintain 6 feet separation showed up on the spot, overnight. That takes some serious logistics to get all of the printed and distributed. Hell, I can get nothing delivered to my house in under a week, add in design, printing and governmental red table; I’m saying it seemed prepared.

    3) Coin shortage – I thought this was too much, I remember thinking that all of this lock down crap fits right in with the “great reset” bull crap. The coins shortage seemed contrived, too convenient of an excuses to start with the digital money that they all want. I think they got over their skis and showed their hand, to me at least.

    Me and my wife never took the bait, I watched it in China and the burning bodies and was concerned, I bought PPE before anyone because my wife was a compromised immune system due to MS medication. Once it landed here, we immediately noticed no one was dying. We never wore a mask, unless the store insisted and we couldn't go anywhere else. My wife published a list of business that didn’t require a mask to people we knew, bars, restaurants etc. I filed for a religious exemption (I’m not religious but maybe the flying spaghetti monster) to avoid losing my job.

    No way in hell would I put that in my body with only a few days of testing – you were the test.

    I truly hope that anyone here that took or were forced to take the vaccine got the placebo…

    I’m hearing more about side effects then I every did about the original virus.

      The ultimate psych-op.

      > Create the virus (UNC-Chapel Hill/Ft. Detrick MD 2004)
      > Send it lock-stock-and barrel to a third party patsy (Wuhan China 2014/5)
      > Release it on unsuspecting Joint Military exercise (September 2019).
      > At the same Exact moment war-game a "pandemic scenario" exercise.
      > Let it play-out, see how far you can push the Sheeple.
      As we saw, the was no limit as to the shit the masses would believe and tolerate.
      Worse yet, they would do the bidding for these evil bass-turds.
      How many times did some stranger on the street admonish you for not wearing your Face Diaper?
      Or not taking your unproved, experimental, gene therapy?
      Then give you grief for pointing out it was not a vaccine and could never be called one. (so they changed the definition of what a so-called vaccine is now called!)

      The big psych-op to see how much the masses could be controlled wildly exceeded their expectations.

      You can only guess at what the next one will look like?

      An alien invasion?

      The second coming of Christ?

      covid-19 proved nothing is too outrageous to con the main-stream-media-controlled masses into pure panic.

      I lost all faith in the common-sense of the general public. (I worked at a large University)
      Those who kept their wits about them were few-and-far-between.

      Hold onto your hats kids, it's going to be a wild ride.

      And if all that wasn't bad enough, the loss of credibility of
      A) Health organizations
      B) Governments
      C) Media
      D) My fellow citizens ability to think clearly and see through such obvious Bu!!$!t

      What does it all mean?
      It's worse than I can't trust anyone anymore, now I can only assume I'm being lied to at every turn.
      I have little option but to believe the total opposite of what I'm being force fed.
      I'm not alone in coming to this conclusion.

      This has dire consequences should an actual threat occur.
      Are the powers that be lying? Their track record on honesty and transparency is uniformly horrible.

      Fun Fact:
      In the 1960's an ex see-eye-aye spook was quoted as saying: "When the masses can't believe anything they hear in the media, we've done our job"

        Fortunately, the media they control are not the only media, but
        finding the truth is not easy.
        Is this better or worse than 1941 when FDR ran his Pearl Harbor
        scam on Americans to get America into war?

      You've got that exactly right. I personally knew one (1) person who "died of Covid" . He lived alone and stayed in bed without drinking anything for days, and actually died of dehydration (which, sadly, is a nasty way to go - think a hangover that's so bad it kills you).
      My daughter was locked in her room at a conservative Southern university, for weeks, studying her Engineering though Zoom meetings, but asked several professors about the Jab. They all said the same thing: On the record, I'm supposed to tell you to go get the shot. ~Off~ the record, don't you dare take that untested drug."

      Could add #4) Carrot and stick sales pitch. Free stuff for getting the jab, lose your freedom/job if you don't.

      My wife and I never took the bait, either, but I recall a few situations we felt like the real humans in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with hysterical people pointing at us going, "Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh".

    The waters of political hysteria on this topic are muddied in the transition between the first Trump and then Biden administrations. Trump took a lot of heat as he and the vast majority of the people were misled by Fauci and Birx (whatever happened to the scarf lady, anyway?), but in the end it was the Biden regime that ushered in the heyday of control freaks slapping around the folks. DC NIFO

    On a lighter note, me dino recalls having to wear a mask just to get into, say, a grocery store.
    I was~~still am, golly gosh~~a senior citizen who just plain didn't feel like being afraid.
    I did not like breathing what I also felt to be my own carbon dioxide tainted somewhat suffocating kinda air.
    So just about any time no one was looking my way, I'd tug open the top of my mask and take a deep refreshing breath.
    Did I ever catch Covid? Nope.
    Even a cold? Nope.
    Anything else? I do have springtime allergies.

    I did not take the vax. i had Covid and decided it was a very puny virus. i had my blood tested at the hospital and the antibodies of Covid were remarkable. I begged my two best friends who would not listen not to take the vax. Both are now suffering what the idiots are calling "Long Covid". One has gone blind and the other now has recurrence of her cancer situation. I am furious with Fauci and would laugh if they stood him against a wall and shot him. i think he is a monster. nb

    The local paper in Colorado Springs decided to cease the comment section unless you subscribed to their trash even online. But before, had one fool that always raised his liberal foolery say to me. When were you not able to go to the grocery store....well that and attending church was out of the question and still the public libraries have a shelf outside where you can drive up and pick up your holds in a plastic bag!

      Colorado is a lost cause, as is New Mexico.
      They resemble Commifornia and will inherit all the socialist problems that always follow insane policies.
      "Politically, Californication has tilted Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins leftward while eating away at the
      consistently conservative tendencies of Colorado Springs — the veritable Orange County of Colorado,
      mimicking shifting political trajectories in south Los Angeles suburbs and San Diego."

      Trump's Big Beautiful Bill shows again what to expect from D.C.
      Secession now. D.C. NIFO
