From day 1 I always said I understood the first two weeks while we were figuring everything out. Once it became obvious who it affected it was ridiculous to extend it into what it became.

I mean there are a lot of jobs that can be done efficiently from home. If I was in one of those fields I’d be annoyed if I was forced back into an office if I knew I was still being productive at home.

The same folks saying no king’s currently were than against any bucking of government restrictions. It’s pathetic.

The World's deadliest airborne disease known to mankind. Thousands dropping dead in the streets daily.

A paper thin perforated mask and staying six feet away from each other will save your life.

Only fools played that game.

Looking back at it 6 years later, I can't believe that people tolerated the lockdowns.

They told us we were all going to die, unless we were protesting for BLM. . .then we were somehow immune

And when we started to see that wasn't true, we were called conspiracy theorists

The entire "medical clique" on the OT was leading the way. . .justifying the jabs, the lockdowns, the social distancing, masking, all of it

And marginalizing everyone that presented anything to the contrary as -ists and -phobes, and wanting to kill Grandma

Without question the most heinous mass hysteria perpetrated on the public in my lifetime. . .as well as the single largest transfer of wealth from the lower and middle classes to the top 1% in possibly ever

When I hear them complaining about measles coming back because people don't trust them anymore, I remember they sold their credibility all on their own

Not me. I was WFH before most people had it as an option. It works in an organic way. Wholesale remote work across the country fricked us.

Masks, "social distancing", and lockdowns were just made up bullshite. Hell, we had to follow fricking supermarket aisle arrows just to buy food! My favorite part was having to have a letter from your employer that designated you as "essential" in case you got pulled over going to work!

Sad thing is, the vast majority would do it all over again if told to. My own parents, as conservative as one can be, actually uttered the words "we just do what the man of tv tells us to do". I was always trying to talk sense into them, but they are elderly with heart conditions and convinced if they caught COVID, it was a death sentence. Mom got it twice, dad with COPD got it once. Dad got home O2 for a couple weeks and used it as needed. Mom had a bad cold. Both are still kicking today and very independent.

You had a lot of people ready to report/chastise anyone for not "following the science."

It was crazy watching how bad it divided everyone.

Another thing that shocked me was watching families not let family members around holiday stuff because they don’t get vaccinated.

And the biggest thing of all was watching people rush out to get vaccinated with no thought at all, just blindly listening to the news. All the end up being a bunch of BS

I just saw two healthy lookong people together wearing masks earlier. I used to say a couple of years ago coming out of covid that I wasn't judging too harshly out in public because you never know when someone is fighting cancer, etc. But now there's just no point to be wearing a mask, and there were two of them together so they were obviously just idiots.

shite more than half the country embraced the lockdown. People who dont give a shite in life, with low paying jobs, couldn’t go to work but got paid more by the government to stay home and do nothing.

It was a dream come true to these people.

yes, for the majority of people it was terrible
True but even within the United States it wasn't the same experience for all. A freedom loving southerner stuck in Seattle or Hawaii was living a nightmare with extra spice. I know.
And I guess there were people in rather loose states that were uncomfortable which is sad from my perspective but still true I guess.

Covid was the biggest fraud in the history of this planet. I will continue and continue to keep saying it.

Can riot in the street and loot all you want without Covid getting you, but you couldn't go to work, go to concerts/ball games/restaurants/bars/church, visit your dying loved ones in hospitals or even in their homes without getting it apparently. And the useless fricking masks for the love of God.

Mother fricking frick all these scumbags and crooks.
