[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 [b]on a social level[/b] 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]

In the DC area, sure. But not in many other areas. We drove to Michigan to see family several times in mid and late 2021, after having been vaccinated, and let me tell you when we crossed from Pennsylvania into Ohio, no one was masked except us. No one. Even in PA, the farther west we got, the less masking there was. DC really is a bubble. Hell I still see people masking outside, which is crazy in 2023. And yes, I know maybe like 3 people are doing it for allergies or something, but most aren't. I do wear a mask on metro myself still, but nowhere else. And outside of DC virtually no one even does that.[/quote]

Right, it was very localized. I remember even just going to a brewery in Chantilly in summer 2021 and being the only people masking.  (Ironically what I got there was food poisoning, not covid!)[/quote]
