re: Biggest red flag at the outset of the pandemic that made you doubt the official narrative?

When the government officials started trying to tell everyone what to do.

The fact that it wasn’t ok to go to a concert, church, or schools but that trips to Walmart/Home Depot/etc were ok.

When they said to wipe down your groceries with Clorox before bringing them in your house

Do you doubt the official narrative of the 1918-20 Spanish flu?

Yes! They called it the "Spanish Flu" but it originated in cramped and overcrowded army barracks in the United States. The government lied to keep a fresh crop of soldiers.

There were a lot. I can't pinpoint the exact moment I doubted it - i feel like I doubted it the entire time. Like at the first moment I watched or read something about it that became a shot at Trump I remembered "never let a crisis go to waste" and it clicked. He brings a message of hope saying it would be over soon and they jumped on him. He closes the borders to nations with high exposure rate and they jump on him. He calls it the China virus and they jump on him. If it were a true crisis in my mind they would have all been pulling together. But they were more concerned with discrediting him than actually helping.

Then the lock downs and I thought "if all it takes to defeat a virus is to keep everyone inside for 2 weeks/keep 6' apart in check out lines/one way aisles in grocery stores, etc... then why do we have flu season every year? Why haven't we done this before? It all felt like a manufactured crisis from the jump.

I don't know about the outset, but the absolute politicking against Ivermectin was really the nail in the coffin for me. By that point I had come to the conclusion the the government had seized the opportunity and wouldn't let it go, and that sealed it.

When nobody enforced proper mask wearing for medical safety. Quickly became apparent it was all about control and compliance than actual safety or utility. You could literally wear a net with 1/2 inch holes over your face and nobody would chastise you or refuse you entry into a building. But they would if you wore nothing at all.

O.003% of dying

I like those odds, I'll take my chances.
