This is a thoughtful summary by former NY Times health editor Berenson. "The profound failure of lockdowns and now vaccines have woken many average folks to the dangers of bureaucratic overreach, expert overconfidence, and authoritarianism in the name of safety.

They took our rights. The media and public health authorities would like you to forget the closed playgrounds and shuttered malls and mask mandates of 2020. And the vaccine mandates of last fall. They want you to forget that for a while, the federal government tried to take the right to work from tens of millions of unvaccinated people. State and local governments went even further; and countries like Canada and Australia further still. UNTIL 10 DAYS AGO, CANADA DID NOT ALLOW UNVACCINATED PEOPLE ON PLANES - effectively curtailing their right to travel in a country that stretches more than 4,000 miles from British Columbia to Newfoundland.

And they took our rights FOR NOTHING.

You and I and they know everything they did failed" https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/on-covid-schools-and-the-death-of/comments

My creed is to ignore everyone else's. As a sovereign individual, I have no choice. To accept someone's creed is to lose my individuality. We may agree on many things, but not all and at this point I am finding compromise very untrustworthy.

America was founded as a Republic.

Not a Lynch mob "Democracy".

Why don't they teach kids that?

Made this my life's motto: "At the end of your life, you'll regret the things you DIDN'T do more than the things you DID do. However, you'll have to choose your regrets. You can do anything you want in life, but you can't do everything you want."

After watching the TV series 1876, I wanted to stand up, pump my fist and shout, “I’m an AMERICAN, NOT a European, Dammit!!!” Let’s start acting like Americans again, and tell those around us who think and act like Europeans that we’re no longer accepting their attitude or company.
