The not-so-great notion in recent years has been that of the ruling elites of the western nations now heading for political suicide.
Remember the song “Goodnight Irene”? It goes:
“Sometimes I lives in the country Sometimes I lives in the town Sometimes I haves a great notion To jump into the river an' drown .”
The not-so-great notion in recent years, in my view, has been that of the ruling elites of the western nations now heading for political suicide. They seized upon the unknown consequences of the new and fast-spreading Wuhan virus for political gain. They used it to exceed their constitutional powers -- locked down their citizens and demanded compliance with various vaccine mandates and treatment protocols and then clung on to those powers long after the deleterious effect of those mandates exceeded the virus’s harm. Never, to my knowledge, has any country before this quarantined the healthy along with the sick. Never. (And I remind you that while locking down the young, the robust, and the otherwise healthy New Yorkers, Governor Andrew Cuomo went so far as to quarantine the stricken with the healthy but most vulnerable elderly -- the result was thousands of deaths of oldsters otherwise far less likely to have become infected.)
Never to my knowledge has the public health establishment so ruined its own credibility. Doubt me? Look to our own country for a prime and early example: The CDC endorsing lockdowns while cheering on the BLM protests. It was, in short, a clear example of the political nature of the public health establishment’s pronouncements. It has seriously damaged them, and I hope they suffer the consequences with a sharply reduced budget and a clear restriction of their activities, if not an abolition of the agency altogether.

Clarice ping for you.
I doubt the a-holes will give up their basic philosophy that they are better than us proles. They will come up with something to save their exhalated positions even if it it leads to a dystopian world for the “uneducated” masses.

What the CDC did was criminal. The fact that they not only paid for the creation of the virus, they lied about it.
The CDC should not only be shut down, but those responsible should be tried for crimes against humanity, and the death penalty should be on the table.
Dr. Fauci should be the first one arrested.
