Did you miss the horrors of the Chinese lockdowns? The Australian "quarantine centers" practices & abuse? What about people in Greece who were banned from leaving their homes or neighborhood? I'm barely scratching the surface, there was so much stupidity in how we handled the pandemic, worldwide.

You're simply ignorant. Very, very, ignorant, and very arrogant which blinds you from your ignorance. That's a classic toxic combo.

For the record, I'm double vaccinated, wore masks before anyone else did, after most everyone else did, and FFP2/N95 respirators at that, not surgical masks, and I obviously avoid tight crowds and wash my hands.

But your attitude is counter-productive and frankly disgusting. Every issue has two sides. A reasonable person is aware of this and plays the uneasy, but necessary balancing game to avoid extremes. You are NOT a reasonable person. You're a loudmouth who thinks they're on a religious mission to shut the mouths of "gaslighters" who do not sufficiently praise authority, which is blameless and infallible. You're part of the problem.
