[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't gaslight people into misremembering what happened, which was coordinated efforts by government (leaning hard on social media companies) to shut down discussion.  People are not going to forget. [/quote]

The FACT is that House Republicans tried to have hearings on that but UTTERLY FAILED to prove there was some massive coordinated leaning hard on social media to shut down discussion.   You can check the actual CSPAN hearing video for yourself on how it was a failure.  If whatever media you follow didn't convey that to you then you are looking in the wrong place for where discussion was shut down.[/quote]

I don't need a congressional hearing to prove something I experienced personally.   [/quote]

That you posted some sketchy covid conspiracy crap and some mod deleted it (which nobody here denies) is hardly evidence of a grand government coverup.  Again, the House Republicans tried proving that and failed.  And if they failed in their fervent witch hunt, yours is also by extension a fail.  Accept the L and move on.  It was some random mod, not a government conspiracy.  You do not know more than, or better than the people who had far more resources and access to investigate than you do.[/quote]

That was a different poster.

People lived through a time when their lives were completely upended and day to day actions and personal health care decisions were dictated by government policies.

The decision to get a vaccine was foisted on people whose employers suddenly had to administer a vaccine mandate from the federal government.  Quiting your job suddenly and losing income and stability for your family is not an option for many people.   My employer never intruded on my healthcare decisions until Trump and Biden's administrations put in sweeping government covid policies.

People were understandably uncomfortable with a vaccine that was rushed through production and approved on an emergency use basis. Vaccines usually take decades to confirm safety and efficacy.  I participated in vaccine trials in college that I learned literally 10 years later hadn't been approved.  Then there was the ever changing promises that the vaccine would prevent transmission that were watered down to say, oh no, it'll prevent serious illness and or death. Most demographics were never going to die from covid anyway. It primarily affected the elderly.

Schools were closed, for quite a while, depending on the state. Young families were left to figure out how to work fulltime remotely while simultaneously homeschooling their kids while people screeched about how "school isn't childcare".  It is, actually.   Our entire economy relies on parents knowing their children are being supervised so the parents can work.

Small businesses were deemed nonessential and had to close while big businesses had the resources to lobby for different treatment.

You STILL have people who are trying to shut down discussion on the government pandemic response, years later.[/quote]

The person you are responding to is an unhinged Democrat nutcase who is peddling lies and revisionist history.

My teen son was rushed to one of the best children’s cardiologists in the area with suspected myocarditis after getting the vaccine the second time. It was a terrifying medical emergency. We were advised by multiple doctors that he should not get another vaccine.

Yet even with that history and documentation and multiple letters of medical support, many campus health centers were not giving out any medical waivers. It changed his college choices (probably for the best, truth be told now, looking at the entitled student behavior on the campuses now, but we didn’t know that at the time).

I have every single vaccine, as does every other member of my family. But because I oppose mandates now, after my own DCs experience, the blind Democrat partisans classify me as “anti-vax,” which of course means that attempted insult is meaningless. If opposing a further vaccine in a child who had suspected myocarditis makes me anti-vax, so be it.
