Who Deserves Your Trust in the COVID Debate?

...What do these anti-lockdowners gain by presenting their case to the public? Nothing material — a concept which is difficult for pro-lockdowners to understand. What they gain is security in the knowledge that they fought for truth, justice, and what is right, even to the point of risking everything. This is a privilege.

Anti-lockdowners get to stand up for the least powerful in our society. For those who have no voice. For the people who are desperate for their industries to survive. For the small business owners who make just enough to feed their children. For the “essential workers” who stand in the supermarket checkout day in and day out, while their children stay home playing video games in place of school. For the kids in developing countries who walk for miles through fields just for a WiFi signal. For the frightened elderly people who haven’t hugged a family member in eight months. For the hospital patients who will die alone and afraid. For the religious congregations prevented from doing outreach.

For the families foregoing holidays, birthdays, and travel. For the socially isolated. For the babies who are growing up without seeing smiles. For the special needs kids deprived of their therapies, for the women and children locked home with abusers. For the new patrons of the food bank, for the formerly proud career men newly sunk to the unemployment line. For those driven to drugs or drink, for those whose rehab was suspended. For those considering suicide. For those whose vaccinations and medical treatments have been delayed or cancelled. For those wondering if life will ever again be worth living. For those who feel there is nothing left to rely on, now that lives, livelihoods, and educations can be decimated at government whim....

Those who would trade liberty for security, deserve neither.

No one should be censored.

Nevertheless, I would be willing to listen to real practicing medical Doctors that say it’s not good for you vs. the college dropout Bill Gates that pretends to be a medical doctor that has a one size fits all vaccine.

If the masks protect us, then why do we need the vaccine?

If the masks to do not protect us, then why where the masks?

What do the anti-freedom despots risk by allowing public debate?

The Gates/John Hopkins role-play for this last October including silencing “rumors” and “fake news” on the internet and social media.

I trust people who accurately identify Fauci as the sponsor of the monster that was developed in the Wuhan lab.

Simple answer: Dr. Zelenko.

Stacey's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, is she? Many of the anti-lockdowners are people who lost their jobs from the lockdown - they stand to get their job back, or perhaps hired elsewhere. Many are business owners - they stand to gain more people in store means higher profits, not to mention their business surviving the lockdown... Families gain the ability to go visit their old relatives, hang out with their extended families, and so on... Sure, some anti-lockdowners may have a secure job, minimal family/societal contact anyway, but I bet the majority of them easily gain some kind of benefit if the lockdowns are lifted or finally ruled unlawful/unConstitutional.
