The way people(as in the vast majority, the non-rulers) responded to this virus and the measures following it will remain a stain on humanity.
You don't even have to wait to see the negative effects the restrictions, panicking rhetoric & messages(not about the severity of the virus per se) and dividing political hacks will have on the current/future generations, it's already here.
Again, this authoritarian top->down approach of "let's shut everything down because a _small_ segment of the population is kind of in danger"[and even then, most people are fine given good levels of vit. D and general immunity] is everything there was to say about it.
This is not about the virus, it's about control(and money, though that's a bonus).Thinking otherwise is just delusion at this point.Vaccinated and 2-3 boosters already? Tough sh*t, the new conveniently-renamed variant Omicron will require you to have another "jab", you don't want that 1-5% chance of grandma dying, do you?
It's so disgusting how conservatives downplay the lethality of this disease, and get all hysterical about the inconvenience of the measures taken to stop it. Quit whining and supporting the fasists tring to prolong the pandemic for political gain, and maybe we can emerge from the crisis sooner.
