Those who were Covid cowards need to stand up against tyranny in the future. It’s the least they can do.
If you were one of those people who always diligently wore an ineffective mask, got the experimental vaccine and boosters, or performatively practiced social distancing, you really owe an apology to those who stood up for civil liberties during Covid and must commit to being smarter and braver in the future.
The Covid years mark what was arguably the greatest encroachment on personal freedom and bodily autonomy in the history of our country. The government decimated the American economy by forcibly closing businesses. It enacted unethical and anti-science mask mandates and government employee vaccine mandates, even though the Covid shots do not prevent people from spreading or contracting the virus.
Many counties and cities made life for the unvaccinated as uncomfortable as possible, with some prohibiting them from dining in restaurants and going to the gym or entertainment venues. Meanwhile, private businesses and schools had their own social distancing, vaccine, and mask requirements, with even many churches bending the knee.
It was at least somewhat reasonable to wear a mask or social distance at the very beginning of Covid because there were so many unknowns about the virus. Yet the insanity lasted for years, well after it was clear the response to the virus was causing more harm than good and studies showed the lockdowns were futile, cloth masks were not effective, and the vaccine was causing serious injuries.
To avoid judgment, go out to dinner, and even keep their jobs, a disturbing number of Americans were compliant with the Covid nonsense. A smaller number of people, however, resisted. They allowed themselves to be fired or expelled to avoid the vaccine mandates. They forwent indoor dining and entertainment, and they walked through the airport with uncovered faces as dystopian loud speakers repeated over and over, “Federal law requires you to wear a mask covering your nose and mouth at all times.”
Covid had only the power we the people gave it. Had enough Americans refused to shutter their businesses and comply with vaccine and mask mandates, the performative fear would have ceased to control us.
The most crucial thing to understand about the government and social reaction to Covid is that it was an experiment. During the 2020 World Economic Forum, Chairman Klaus Schwab and then-Prince Charles announced the infamous “Great Reset,” a WEF economic project that seeks to use Covid as a vehicle for limiting Western freedom and promoting globalism.
Charles stated that Covid “offers an unprecedented opportunity to rethink and reset the ways in which we live and do business.” The WEF’s “revolutionary reset” calls on world leaders to implement the forum’s socialist master plan for transitioning economies from relying on coal, oil, and natural gas to insufficient supplies of wind and solar power.
Essentially, government leaders exploited the fear surrounding Covid, using it to implement disastrous economic policies that kill the middle class and will eventually create a form of neo-feudalism that only benefits mega, global corporations and the state.
Thanks to the inaction of millions of Americans, the response to Covid irreversibly damaged our country. Yes, people lost their livelihoods, and it stunted the education of an entire generation of children, with hundreds of thousands to this day still reportedly missing from school systems across the country. However, it also set an alarming precedent that in America we willingly give up essential liberty anytime federal bureaucrats claim we are facing a public “emergency.”
Even worse is the example Covid set for younger generations. Perhaps nowhere in America was Covid more authoritarian than on college campuses, where young people were taught that mental submission, creepy surveillance, and Covid violation reporting systems were essential, virtuous, and even normal.
The ramifications of the Covid response will be felt for decades. If we learned anything from the WEF’s “Great Reset,” it’s that Covid is no one-off. Now that our leaders have watched the majority of the population relinquish their liberties for a virus comparable for many in the general population to the seasonal flu, they’re going to whip out the Covid playbook anytime they want to scare the populace into compliance.
That’s where those who were sheep during Covid come in. Thousands of Americans were severely punished for bravely resisting the Covid psyop because millions more followed the edicts and perpetuated fear despite knowing better. When the next Covid comes along, those who were either gullible or cowards need to learn from their mistakes and stand up against tyranny. That’s the least they can do.
No forgive. No forget. Do it again and no mercy.
The major revelation of the plandemic was the degree to which the government became tyrannical (we all knew that there remains a large percentage of sheep). Shockingly, with every passing month we learn that we were all correct, all along.
Businesses and public officials (along with the NPCs) will pay the price for supporting it next time. It’s a Constitutional imperative.
Fair warning.
But dammit people: Leave your phones at home next time and cover your faces, huh?
Yep, I can go back as recently as early 2022 on THIS SITE on the New Jersey page where I was attacked for mocking the idiocy of wearing cheap ass surgical masks to prevent the spread of viruses (they were never intended for this purpose).
Let me depress you-
Ozone hole
Coming ice age
DDT
Nuclear power (now making a come back)
Running out of potable water
Saving the baby seals
We’re running out of space for trash
Polar bears
Deforestation and paper recycling
Spotted owls
Global warming now rebranded as climate change
Plastic six pack holders
Stryophome cups and plates
These people never learn and they will fall for the next crap thrown at their head.
They don’t think, not critically or logically.
Reason for them is group think (acceptance), what is cool or trendy and gets them attention, what is convenient (government has learned to incentivize sheepish behavior), they allow themselves to be coerced (they do NOT buck / resist).
People are the same everywhere and there is only a small core group of Americans that are about freedom and liberty, willing to suffer or pay a price at this point.
You had about 20-25% that had various degrees of objections to the vaccine, testing, etc. But by the end they got about 97% to get vaccinated: https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2021/11/federal-agencies-close-to-100-compliance-with-vaccine-mandate-as-enforcement-begins/
The story is written positive but it’s actually a scandle. People were coerced. Privacy rights were flagrantly violated. And they write this like it’s some great accomplishment.
At the end of the day most people are sheep and that won’t change even after covid:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofling_hospital_experiment
Today we have LESS critical thinking, LESS morals, LESS understanding regards the Constitution. If you gave most Americans an order to put people on a train to Auschwitz, they would do it, even if they think that is an absurd or unbelievable statement.
***What sheep do not understand is that when a wolf is in charge, they can become instruments for evil.
It’s sad, but they were sheep, are sheep, and always will be sheep: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ztdlb
Morality, a living constitution, true critical thinking and applying that to those in authority requires courage and a willingness to be inconvenienced or even be punished/suffer. Most people do not fit that description.
Maybe, but my wife is down with it for real right now. Doc told me there was a fair amount going around in this area right now and to be careful.
She is in great health at 66 and had gotten the whole boat of shots. Since I did not, I asked her how is it we have been virtually everywhere together over the past few weeks and I am not ill, test negative, and am 78. She just stares at me when I point that out from across the room.
In the article;
‘Many Church’s’ folded.
.
Only one comes to mind that stayed Open
John McArthurs’ in California.
.
Any Others?
That’s worrisome....
Sorry FRiend.
Coming from an old single guy.
If you were a doctor or medical professional encouraging, giving or profiting from the vaxx, come clean and return to medicine.
All Amish church gatherings continued.
I love the articles that insult their readers the first sentence.
No matter how you personally dealt with COVID, wasn’t the whole takeaway that other people should tell us what to do and how to feel?
Anyone reading this article and agreeing with it is just as guilty as the Trump and Biden administrations trying to control our lives,
Just leave us alone.
Yes, Amish died. People who didn’t attend church died too.
The question was were there any churches that stayed open?
Covid went through the Amish community in ~3 months. Their numbers of deaths were approximately equal to non-Amish, despite staying open.
But the didn’t sacrifice gathering the community, nor their economy, nor death and long term illness by vaxx.
They’ll never again be able to pull off the Nazi style bull s**t like they did with Covid. What a pathetic part of our history...People getting in brawls over face masks, people being throw in cages for not wearing a mask, losing their careers, businesses, opportunities, and all the other Nazi style BS they were pushing.
All that was happening while the same people were 100% supportive of millions pouring into our country illegally with ZERO immunization or anything else.
Never again will they be able to pull this off. The pushback would be epic.
DUH
Mother in law has clots in her legs, found by ultrasound after complaining about leg cramps. Doctors have “no idea” as to cause. Has had two Covid injections since. And no one has said anything about the “safe and effective “ side effects of the “clot shots”.
If you were a sheep during “COVID”, do the world a favor and get as many boosters as quickly as you possibly can, and always wear theee face masks, preferably made of non-permeable plastic.
mocking the idiocy
Well, you’re expecting too much for idiots to recognize that they are idiots, EVER. /s
I was in Church Easter 2020, along with a handful. Here’s the problem. Healthcare 99.8, military, government… all of them starting with trump and throughout kneeled in fear of a lie.
We lost every institution for life as we knew it.
There will be no accountability because Tucker n co will carry trumps water.. the EUAs were either justified according to their limitations,or he abused power like all the rest.
His silence speaks volumes, maybe louder than his signature on blank checks to big pharma.
Never again will they be able to pull this off. The pushback would be epic.
Sadly, I believe that you are wrong. Sheeple assume good intentions of others, to their own detriment. They willingly will comply again.
I think even most those drooling in cups wised up to the COVID con-job. They can't give away vaccines and they're stuck with warehouses full. You think that will fly again? Then again if it does happen again, maybe it would be best for these idiots to accept more experimental injections.
