 I’m correctly framing the problem. Covid simply wasn’t that deadly. Certainly not deadly enough to justify the ineffective totalitarian measures used to “fight” it. Compromised people should have voluntarily quarantined and Robust healthy people should have continued their lives as normal. It wouldn’t have damaged the economy, hardly anyone would have died (barely anyone died anyway) and it would have provided better herd immunity for at risk populations. The masks were theatre. The vaccine was ineffective. The plexi glass partitions were total nonsense. I mean if you can’t see all that at this point I can’t help you.
