My 14-step plan, revisited and updated with Omicron; was the COVID response disaster we have lived really about sheer academic sloppiness and laziness, pure technical incompetence?
I think the propaganda worked on Trump too, really. Imagine being surrounding by folks breathlessly exclaiming these grossly exaggerated death rates while having the access to the polling analytics showing the country in a state of great fear. I think Trump felt that he would have too much blood on his hands and would be committing political suicide to not (mostly) go along with the mob. Ironically, I think that’s what lost him his re-election… fraud aside (not to dismiss it) but he had a chance to earn my vote if he had truly stood against these forces, instead of meeting them halfway. Instead, I didn’t vote at all for the first time in my life, what little faith I had in government was completely evaporated over this. I doubt I was the only one.
You can align with these sociopaths, they’ll eventually eat you, one way or another. In the end, Trump was probably too much of a businessman looking to make deals to realize where he should have drawn the line.
So much of what the technocrats and media did here in Covid parallels what they did in the HIV AIDS debacle, and to some extent continue to do. Same playbook. Per RFK Jr's book, they denied available drugs, killed people with expensive Pharma drugs rushed to the scene, used faulty PCR tests to diagnose healthy people, scared the population that the whole world could get aids, and even treated people who tested + for a benign HIV retrovirus with chemo drugs that soon killed them, in order to make billions of $$$. And they have never been brought to account, they have ruined scientists and journalists who dared to question or expose them. Fauci should have been removed and possibly criminally charged 20 or more years ago. HIV, what a gigantic scam, but if your scam works and you succeed, why not double down!
