Vinay, I think you have articulated the heart (sic) of the problem very well, however you haven’t touched on the political forces at work that created this mess.

Vinay, I think you have articulated the heart (sic) of the problem very well, however you haven’t touched on the political forces at work that created this mess. Since its earliest days we have known that covid was primarily a danger to the old. This generated a ton of fear in that demographic and when the President is well into this age range, his fear level is very high and hence his actions and directives to the federal agencies became frantic, forcing these agencies to do crazy things like mass censorship in order to maximize vaccine rollout. The CDC and FDA for three years only made statements to blindly support this “doctrine”.
But now, the folks that supported this travesty continue to obfuscate by twisting the narrative into something completely different. Now the message is to limit free speech due to dangerous misinformation when the primary source of misinformation was from them! Are they advocating that they themselves should have been censored? That is the logical conclusion. It’s no surprise that trust in these agencies, in the govt, in science and in vaccination in general has crashed. My anger runs deep, not just for these govt people responsible and the terrible damage they have done to our society, but also for those many, that want to denigrate others simply for having an alternate opinion.
One of the biggest (money and power) pushers of mandates/lockdowns was Bill Ackman, yes THAT one, who famously had that president ousted and who's wife is herself a plagiarist. He lobbied governments and then bet his millions on corporate failures.
