Don’t worry everyone. The unilateral powers created by our government during covid is a one time thing.

Surely covid will one day “go away”, and with it the surveillance state will dismantle their powers and stop trying to control what their citizens think and do!

I believe everyone should be vaccinated but your point worries me. This doesn't seem 'right.' I don't believe in conspiracy theories of people pushing anti vaccination propaganda just to bring this state of affairs about as some are suggesting: that said, I don't want us to be in this place, but I also want everyone vaccinated so the vaccines can actually work and we can eradicate this thing.

I can't help but feel manipulated in this state.

Being pro vaccine and anti-government “emergency powers” is a perfectly reasonable position to take.

The media and the government forces the false dichotomy on people. They say you’re either all-in surveillance state or you’re antivax. It’s part of their design.

This is exactly my position, I’m very pro-vaccine but I despise the surveillance state as the apparatus of tyranny.
