House Report on the Covid Pandemic

[Rainmaker]

It's odd, really, this particular COVID 'event' occurred at a time in my life when I was paying a great deal of attention what my government says it was going to do, what they actually did, how they did it, and how they proceeded to sell us the idea that "we all want it."

I will eventually scan this report, but I expect there will be nothing there that I haven't already seen reported in one way or another elsewhere.

The only surprises I am expecting is when I finally realize that nothing will actually come of the report...

"Immunity" for all (pun intended.)

You know, this thread caught my eye but your post made me realize something I hadn’t before: the pandemic hit immediately after I had retired (from the federal government, nonetheless!) and until now I never stopped and thought about it!

I had toiled in bureaucracy for decades and wanted nothing to do with it for a while, so I was the opposite of you. I wasn’t paying much attention to anything, I was too “busy” relaxing. I could see my ideas for simple international travel had to be postponed. But in remote rural Vermont, we had a tiny fraction of the crap that it seems most of the country did. Never occurred to me until now!

I have no interest in anything produced by the mainstream media. And
I know I’m preaching to the choir when I say that as someone who was a senior administrator in the intelligence/law enforcement side of the federal government, I know 90% of the stories aren’t true anyway. I don’t own a TV set, I probably watch ten minutes of TV a year in the waiting room of a car repair place or some such, and just about the only social interactions I had outside of friends and family were reading ATS and administering a veterans’ forum that I volunteer with. So I had no idea what was going on in the world in general during the pandemic. And to this day I frankly don’t generally care.

The population in my area is generally two extremes, and neither trust the government nor have much use for it. You have the liberal hippy types and the farmer/outdoorsman types. One thing was for dang sure: No stuffed-shirt politician who thinks he or she knows better was going to tell any of us to wear any silly masks or get any stupid injections! Only one person I knew of would even remotely consider “the jab”, it was the old lady who makes sandwiches at the local deli. And I don’t think she ever went through with it.

This post isn’t going to be political, but the hippy/liberal crowd’s take on it was that the evil Mr. Trump allowed this questionable “vaccine” to be marketed, so it must be as evil as he is. He’s trying to kill us all because his virus didn’t! There was absolutely zero interest in that “jab” stuff in my area.

My point is the campaign of fear propagated by the MSM was there for those who chose to listen to it. Those who chose to question it or ignore it probably were better off. And unfortunately we may feel the effects for years.
