I mean there's science, and then there's an unelected global comity acting as an authority, setting an agenda that is blindly followed by people who cant think for themselves.

If I didn't know covid was a designed scam id be very concerned that our brightest and best thought locking down the world for a a virus with a 0.01 ifr was logical.

Thankfully it had nothing to do with logic, or health.

Then why?

Some days I wish I could contemplate the possibility of roughly 80,000,000 deaths with such equanimity.

Right? We should consider the added worth of each life saved by slowing down the virus's spread, which allowed time to develop vaccines. Although the worldwide response was far from perfect, I'm truly thankful for the technology and measures that protected numerous people. While I value freedom and individual rights, it's challenging to compare those principles to the importance of preserving a life.

I mean, that's roughly 800,000,000 years of life lost.

"YLLs per death increased from 9.2 in the first year of the pandemic to 10.8 through the first 2 years." (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35640260/)

Sounds like a big number but thats just the nature of this reality, hundreds of thousands of people die every day. The virus that we were tricked into thinking was a significant event by global media is in the same category as the flu, which has been killing 0.01 forever with no fanfare.

Covid was statistically insignificant in the grand scheme of human health. The reality is we are mostly a herd species, the group experiments show that people will conform to false information against their better judgement to not go against the group.

Its not about intelligence, there are plenty of idiots who knew covid was a scam from day one and plenty of smart people who probably still think it was real to this day despite all the evidence showing it was massively overblown.

I think that it was overblown by design, as part of a bigger agenda, rather than incompetence. And the whole death thing doesnt get me anyway, I think death is relief in most cases and should be celebrated.

We are part of something far greater than these bodies, it seems like we come here as a game to pretend we dont know anything about reality. When you die you will see we know everything, but I wonder if you will remember I told you so.

Specifically this included the CPP officials who downplayed the virus, and allowed it to wreck havoc on the globe rather than taking immediate action to stomp it out
