[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we should get to the bottom of what actually happened, but that is more to try to figure out how to prevent the same scenario in the future. Finger pointing about wet market vs lab leak is of no use 4+ years on within this country.  Yes, we can punish China in some way, but it has to be international (sanctions, restrictions on publishing of research, etc) and not like us declaring war or nonsense like that.

How it started was really not that important in how our country handled the virus. That also can be examined and lessons learned. The thing people leave out of their complaints of how it was handled is that the virus changed/mutated over time. There were things that were more effective with the original version vs the evolved virus. The vaccine was pretty effective at the beginning then the virus changed and got around that protection. It still was highly effective at preventing death, but people screamed that it didn’t work and why bother getting it? So frustrating that people can’t understand that this virus was mutating in real time[/quote]

How COVID was handled bitterly divided the country and brought out the worst in many people, on both sides of the spectrum. A great deal of it had to do with that the establishment classes (whatever we call them) firmly shut down any dialogue on COVID, its origins, how to handle it, all in the name of "FOLLOW THE SCIENCE!" Posts after posts were censored and deleted right here on DCUM just for questioning aspects of COVID. And Anthony Fauci definitely played a key role in suppressing that dialogue, even if he probably thought it was in the name of the greater good. He effectively killed the Great Barrington Declaration by declaring it heretic (even if the signatories turned out to be right) and promoted the publication of "COVID is naturally occurring" messages in various science magazines and publicly stated so. At the same time, the same group of largely unelected bureaucrats came up with ideas like shutting down schools for a year and the six feet social distancing and even masking when they had no real scientific evidence or basis for doing so, which has been the main revelations of the recent testimonies.

Unfortunately, what it means it's steadily turning out that the skeptics were largely correct the entire time despite being classified as wacko conspiracy theorists in 2020.

People cannot forget that, no matter how you claim it doesn't make a difference. It makes [i]all[/i] the difference, especially in a society that historically prides itself on being a free democracy. The level of censorship we saw during the early COVID years was unprecedented in modern American history, with federal bureaucrats and CDC and later the Biden WH going out of their way to suppress public dialogues over COVID and its origins. The collapse in trust in the authorities started from the very beginning and drastically affected how people responded to COVID. In the long run that has done far more damage than any vaccine resistance. We may never recover as a society. [/quote]
