I don't understand why "fear and lockdowns" are equated here. Lockdowns aren't an agenda on their own - it's because of the virus, which exists whether you do a lockdown or not. I guess people believe that the virus is nothing to be scared of, and so then they believe that people fearmonger to whip up support for a lockdown, but this belief makes zero sense to me - why would anyone be in favor of a lockdown if the virus isn't dangerous?

it seems politically safer to do "something", than to do "nothing". if the lockdowns stop the virus you're a hero, if they dont, you're still a hero for thinking of the children... if instead you do nothing, and things get better, you're just seen as lucky, if things get worse, you get to take the blame.
