If the politicians, media, and tech tyrants hadn’t acted so aggressively to silence discussions about COVID, the last year could have turned out very differently.
Yesterday, Steve Karp MD, presented the facts of COVID as we know them, right here on American Thinker. His list included all the mind-boggling contradictions we’ve been fed for the last 17 months. My immediate reaction (besides thinking it was a very complete list) was that, if we had been able to have open, uncensored, lively scientific and public debate from the start, we wouldn’t be in such a muddle at this point. Furthermore, most likely, several hundred thousand more people would still be alive.
By shutting down discourse, the tech giants, government bureaucracy, and news media have done us all a criminal disservice. Their power to cancel scientific inquiry and keep Americans in the dark about the virus dictated a “reality” sculpted only for political ends. It created confusion, chaos, and fear, which is now becoming nakedly apparent as we watch the demise of Fauciism.
Fauci’s proscriptions were perpetuated everywhere, not just on the big tech platforms and in the news. Local-oriented sites like Nextdoor, where neighbors tried to get into discussions amongst themselves about the realities of COVID, prohibited any posts that questioned the defined orthodoxy. They were up-front about it, even to the point of asking whether you were following the “rules” about COVID before you put your post up.
Not many people took the time to dig deeper into the mire of information for themselves. Around here, the reality of living in a leftist haven has dictated strict adherence to the accepted storyline. I live in LibLand, California, where following the leader (as long as that leader is as far left or even further left than oneself) is normal.

That goes double for a number of “conservative” talk show hosts who, though opposed to legalizing marijuana, suddenly find their libertarian alter ego and support private businesses coercing their employees to take the vaccine.
The whole purpose of the virus insanity was to be a distraction while Democrats rigged the election. Just like what was done in 2008 with the financial melt down. Then once in office huge amounts of money is given to every Democrat/Leftist cause out there. It’s National theft on a massive scale. The FBI and IRS are the enforcers.
Yes, and Fauci is going to be the fall guy while the people who conspired with him will never be revealed.
