Almost from day I was highly suspicious of the chi Comms. I know how little they regard human life, I knew they were pushing their military bio-weapons technology and I knew the left was getting mighty uncomfortable with Trump successes.

I also knew of the 1917 Flu, near disaster escapes of Ebola etc. and I’d also been an avid reader/watcher of semi factual films like outbreak, Hot Zone, even fiction like The Stand and many more.

Finally while not a doctor , nurse or specialized military in Bio-warfare like some here I do Have a Bachelors in Science so I’m aware of many past bio disasters, nature of germ theory etc etc.

Around 2020 When they started talking about frozen seafood, bats in a wet market in the winter from a cave 800 miles away….all my BS alerts went off at once.

Me too.

When the bat story hit, it almost immediately set off the BS alarm.

When the masks became required everywhere, I played along only where necessary and ensuring I provide maximum back pressure (without becoming a jerk).

As to the mask: I think maybe 20% believed the crap wholeheartedly. Most 70% went along with it and were sort of indifferent or not really standing completely on one side or the other, and 10% rebelled. How can a mask with giant holes stop a tiny virus? Common sense. Most people wore the same mask all day and these masks lose their effectiveness once damp. Also, some folks reused these masks, even over many days and that was sort of gross (Petri dish). I can honestly say close to NO ONE really wore a mask 24/7 and it was simply a selective show where we all impress someone by wearing a mask in one place but not in another. This virus was still commutable by contact/touch and lives for many hours or even days on a surface depending on what it is and the temperature.

I truly realized just how stupid all this was when they began closing all the beaches. When being called reckless and irresponsible because I went to Destin during the scare, I simply asked folks: Is it the high temperatures, salt water, sand which is a horrible surface for the virus, fresh air, direct sun light (UV kills the virus) or fact that people usually spread out on a beach which I need to worry about? That would shut them up, but I am sure they still thought me as some bad person for not following the herd and jumping off the cliff because everyone else is.

It became obvious they (the decision makers in government) were doing idiotic stuff just to show “action in crisis.”

They were giving people hope and a feeling of control by giving them stupid masks.

When the vaccines were mandated I risked my job and refused. They ultimately did not fire me, even though the threatened me with such. They simply bureaucratically made my life difficult by requiring two monitored PCR tests per week, grossly violating my privacy, and costing me my personal time and money.

Ironically, never did I social distance (I went to parties, had family get together etc), I only used the mask when required, never got vaccinated and NEVER got sick. Meanwhile, one of my paranoid coworkers had it three times, another twice (and this lady used crime scene tape to block the access to her office), my boss had it twice... I believe I probably did get exposed many times and possibly even contracted it, I simply fought it off and built a natural immunity to it without even realizing I had it.

This was an awful time not because of Covid, but because of the idiot policy makers we have, think Cuomo as an example. The disease (if that contagious) is going to run its course and it won’t stop until herd immunity is reached. The measures you would have to put in place to actually stop it, would have worse consequences than the disease! Even the Chinese with their draconian efforts did not really make a difference in the long term albeit our MSM sure did make it sound like they are a role model to follow.
