 What he says stands on its own. His thoughts about whether or not it is a hazard isn't really the point though. Right? The reality is that the response to Covid like the response to many dangerous things (terrorism) opens the door for more power for centralized forces. Governments be they democratic or not.

 Absolutely! Because who needs facts and understanding when you can just make wild assumptions, right? 🤷‍♂️🎉 But hey, why bother with critical thinking when you can just jump to conclusions and join the misinterpretation party? 🎉 #ThinkBeforeYouReact But seriously, do you think taking a moment to gather context could prevent a lot of misunderstandings? #FoodForThought
