You say “I am well aware that the left sees this as an opportunity to permanently crush our economy and finally force us all into a socialist dictatorship.”
I think that is the first thing I’ve seen you say in this article that I agree with.
That is exactly the issue that we are trying to deal with here.
A lot of issues must be addressed to accomplish that.
1. End the tyranny of the arrogant politicians at all levels exercising petty, unnecessary, ineffective or arbitrary limitations on our liberty.
2. Halt the unbridled growth of unelected but extremely powerful regulators, especially those who failed in their missions to properly prepare this pandemic. Specifically, HHS, NIH, CDC, and FDA all enjoy and are influenced far too much through hidden political and financial connections to the medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
3. Specifically examine the published CDC strategy (currently disguised as Contact Tracing) but is in reality a huge effort aimed at vaccination tracking and enforcement. Not only is this potentially an unconstitutional violation of liberty, it proposes a need for 300,000 additional administrators (enforcers).
Remember a week or two ago the media push that we MUST have a vaccine and the warp speed effort to develop it? And following a few days later that Moderna released a cheery press release supposedly claiming a win in the mRNA vaccine touted by Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci.
Of course, a few days later, Trumps pandemic team and Dr. Fauci claimed rapid progress, a vaccine was already in accelerated testing and great optimism that it soon would be available.
Before I give you the bad news, I will note that Trump now says we must end the shutdown, vaccine or no vaccine. (Thankfully)
You probably havent heard it yet, so here is the rest of the story
Of course, a proposed vaccine like this is precisely what would be tracked in the CDC Contact Tracing (actually vaccination tracking and enforcement), for which government contracts are already in place.
