What I've learned in the last 18 months...
#1- Masks don't work, why? Because the Covid virus is so small it goes right through the holes in masks including N 95s.
#2- Many of our political leaders are massive hypocrites, why? Because they don't even abide by the draconian Covid rules and edicts they seek to force us citizens to obey without question... We've witnessed this many many times in 2020 and 2021.
#3- Public health officials that are on TV everyday talking about Covid have changed their minds and flip flopped NUMEROUS times on important issues. Yet it's as if we're expected to believe they know exactly what they're doing when it's obvious even to a perceptive 10 year old they appear to be making it up as they go...
#4- Thousands of small businesses were shut down during the year long lockdowns and it was unnecessary driving many out of business. We were told this was not an option because small restaurants, nightclubs, and music venues were supposedly too small and would spread Covid easily. But large big box stores were allowed to operate with nearly no restrictions. We now know that the Covid virus spreads in large stores as easily as small restaurants or shops. So... officials were either lying to all of us or they had no clue as to what they were doing...
# 5- Churches in almost all states were also told not to meet or meet in a severely restricted manner for the same reasons as # 4. Churches in California were even told not to SING in service....political leaders in several states had to be forced through lawsuits to allow churches to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed right to worship as they see fit, and the supreme court upheld that right. Politicians had absolutely no qualms squashing freedom of religion for millions of Americans...
#6- With the emergence of vaccines for Covid, we've learned a few things. The vaccine does work for most people and does not have any serious side effects for those people. But we've also witnessed breakthrough cases where a few people have gotten Covid even after the shot. We also know that people can spread Covid even after getting the shot. Just this week ( August 9, 2021) a cruise ship reported Covid cases even though EVERYONE on board had been vaccinated, including ship employees and guests. We also know for a few people getting the shot has led to serious side effects like palsy on their face or limbs, loss of feeling in and use of limbs for a period of time and even a few thousand deaths. Officials have spoken of deaths from the Covid shot as expected, and compared to the millions that have had the shot and had no side effects it's insignificant, but Say that to the family of a deceased person from a vaccine and they will likely want to sue you or something more drastic. Celebrated blues guitar player Eric Clapton has said he got the shot and regretted it because he had MAJOR problems and was worried he may not perform again. Clapton said he wished he'd not gotten the shot at all...
#7- If we the people don't stand up to our current government officials that appear to be getting used to and enjoying their new found power over us we are on track to lose the REST of our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.
