Jesus Christ lady, 1 million Americans DIED from Covid.  It was a once in a century crisis.   Mistakes were made.  Risks were taken.  There was collateral damage.  I’m sure IF you were one of them.  And yes I mean IF.  [/quote]

It actually wasn't a once in a century crisis. We made it into one but the countries who locked down and those who really didn't- mostly had the same outcome. Same as the US overall. Comparing California to Florida doesn't really yield substantial difference when accounting for population age and all of that. But while that's all relevant, in this case, its beside the point. What is the point is that there absolutely was collateral damage in people being forced to do something they didn't want to and now, now...especially as evident on just this sampling of a thread, the response is get over it. Move on. $ell no![/quote]

Oh go storm the Capitol or something. [/quote]

I so love when someone provides information that's counter to your narrative that you wish to believe with no basis in fact, your response is to insult. Especially since wasn't that the exact thing we (yes, we because I am one) democrats hated Trump for? He resorted to name calling and insults when confronted with something he didn't want to believe? My how the tables have turned.[/quote]

Look, you totally missed the point of my initial response. I said clearly “mistakes were made.”  It’s a helluva lot easier to say with the benefit of hindsight that some of the more draconian measures taken weren’t worth it.  But tens of thousands of people were dropping dead each week at the height of Covid, and I’m not going to vilify scientists and public health officials who were doing the best they could at the time to try and stop that.  That’s the difference between you and me.  [/quote]

Np. The problem is you can't be so flippant like you are saying "some mistakes were made" as if its not actually a big deal. Many people at the time had questions and not only were they silenced, they were completely vilified by people here, people in the community, people on the TV and people in this current administration. So while this is apparently some minor misunderstanding to you, we will NEVER forget what people like you did. [/quote]

Exactly this. It isn’t even so much the mandates, it’s the complete silencing of even asking questions and vilification. Especially since by the time vaccines were even approved for kids and schools started mandating them, it was very well documented they would not stop transmission (entire reason to make something mandatory) nor have much benefit to an otherwise healthy child. If you asked questions, you were called anti-vax and much much worse and silenced. The response was if you don’t like it leave. That’s like telling a homeless person, just get a job. Failing to recognize and appreciate all the intricacies involved in “just leaving”. It isn’t a black and white world yet people who asked questions were reduced to that and again, much, much worse! Just for asking a question! Not even necessarily in disagreement- literally just wanting more information.[/quote]
