This is all interesting, but the entire story simply serves the “fear covid” (for everyone) and “better do what the news/social media says” (for sheep) religious-like narrative.
The media, corporations, state governors, and especially the US Deep State (yes, Trump included, unwittingly or not) was and is tyrannizing us beyond anyone’s imagination three years ago. Base your critical thinking skills and your behavior on that.

Good observation. If it weren't for so many (the vast majority?) of people -- including older, and allegedly "conservative" people -- being such hypochondriacal cowards, in fear of their lives from what amounted to a souped-up cold virus, the population wouldn't have been so easily cowed.
The past three years have been pretty eye-opening. I wouldn't have thought that my opinion of people generally could have gotten any lower. But here we are.
Most people, regardless of their self-identified ideology, aren't interested in anything so abstract or esoteric as liberty, as freedom -- for themselves or for anybody else. Not really. They just want to be "safe," that's all.
A pretty pathetic show, all around.
