[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly at this point who cares. We did the best we could under a unique and heretofore inexperienced event. This is for scientists to be studying to plan for future pandemics. Getting angry now is ridiculous. [/quote]

The problem is we weren’t allowed to ask questions and dissenting views were discouraged. Anytime you’re not allowed to ask questions or push back on something you should be concerned. The climate at the time didn’t allow questioning of precautions. [/quote]

What are you talking about? There were plenty of people who questioned everything and did whatever they wanted anyway. It’s not like the police came and arrested people for expressing dissenting views. Even in early covid when people were dying, plenty of people questioned why they had to be inconvenienced to save other people’s lives and behaved accordingly. Lockdowns were never going to work in this country because we are a narcissistic and selfish society who rarely behave for the greater good of community. [/quote]

Oh so you think we should have been more like China with peoples doors nailed shut?

Dissent was absolutely impossible on a social level and as we know from the social media 1A case pending at the Supreme Court, the government was extremely closely involved in getting viewpoints on covid deleted from social media. Even if that case finds there was no 1A violation, it absolutely shows that the government acted to literally delete opposing views. [/quote]

Where in my post did I say anything remotely close to nailing people’s doors shut. I said people could have dissenting views here and they did. I also have no idea what the government did on social media. I personally saw plenty of dissent that wasn’t deleted. [/quote]

Maybe you should inform yourself about the case on social media censorship: https://www.thefire.org/news/fire-statement-supreme-courts-grant-certiorari-murthy-v-missouri

As for nailing doors shut, what was the point of the claim that Americans were “too selfish” to lockdown voluntarily, then? For that matter, I find the “selfish” line very telling. There is a subset of people who viewed covid lockdowns, masking, and vaccination as an opportunity to show moral superiority. Which has nothing to do with whether these measures work on a public health level. Of COURSE people do not want to stay isolated in their homes - there’s nothing “selfish” about it. The only way drastic lockdown can be maintained is through force, like in China. [/quote]
