There was a positive that came out of closing the schools down. We discovered what they are teaching our children. Such as CRT and transgender garbage!

The constant use of “follow the Science” is not a very good answer to anything anymore. If Science is deemed to be the only truth we all must believe, we are headed for dangerous thinking, acting, censorship, and actually death itself is going to be the only truth in any so-called science??
Mankind caused Global Climate Changes can only be called by the the Scientist world as “a Consensus of Opinion”? We all know that everyone has an opinion, and opinion is said to be something that everyone has?? Opinions are like asses, everyone has at least one ass or they would be filled with crap!!
So a Consensus of Opinion is meaningless when deciding that only Scientific statements are truth, and anyone who says otherwise are stupid??
Political Parties, Sororities, Fraternities, fans of certain athletic teams are also all Consensus of Opinions, and so is faith and belief systems!
Is it fact that has little if any truth or attempt to sway opinion as the only truth to measure or state that anything is Scientifically truth is a joke. The Scientific world needs to be cleansed of those who believe some scientific areas are true, with almost zero requirements to be based on scientific facts, instead of a Consensus of Opinion??? Then would you really believe anyone in the Scientific world is ever going to be based on anything but Opinions alone!! And those Opinion based Scientific research and evidence is NOT Scientific truth, because the only people who can publish anything are those who write anything that support the Opinions of the Scientific world?? Remember, they said to follow the science with Covid-19 too. And those who get a degree in Political Science could ever be wrong on any scientific basis or what they say and do is NOT true, but is factual and truth then we will die because opinions are now more important than facts anywhere!!

Experienced practicing physicians had both intuition and knowledge of the type of available drugs that would probably work. By April and May of 2020, they were starting to get solutions. The NIH and CDC focused on some good things but not solving Covid with existing drugs and vitamins. Then, it seems, they warned health care providers to wait for a vaccine; sometimes with threats of losing licenses. We sent too many people home with practically nothing to help them and many unnecessarily died. Check out “covid19ccc.org” I think the goverment’s health establishment is to blame. Trump tried hard – but the government professionals did not help him much nor have they helped Biden. Remember more people have died under Biden’s term then Trumps.

There should have been an option for ALL OF THE ABOVE! They all played a part. I never did follow the asinine rule of washing my groceries, etc. Fauci is a hack who should be fired and his pension/benefits pulled. That is what would happen to anyone else who made such egregious mistakes that ruined our country. My brother and sister died during 2020 and 2021, not with covid, but we weren’t allowed to be with my brother who was not married and had no children but had seven siblings. He did not understand why no one was allowed to be with him when he was dying and then we weren’t allowed to have a decent funeral service to grieve with family and friends! Absolutely unforgivable as there are no do-overs!

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Health officials were not focused on other treatments such as the death wish vaccine! The entire medical industry and the agencies governing them know all about how to deal with this and have banned everything that will help, and not POISON our people and children! Think what you want, but the evidence is monumentally on the side demonstrating medical malfeasance, collusion, and financial gain from this COVID Hoax. Hospitals were never over crowded, the real trap was the vaccine, they needed a means to scare people into getting the vaccines which are killing more people than influenza, annually, but already surpassed in Q1 this year. A virus they made and released that has a mortality rate 50% less than Influenza!?

It was difficult to choose just two. All of these are/were put in place to control us citizens and to make us subjects of their dictatorial policies. As President Trump said, Let the people decide for themselves.

All of the above is correct.
It was all about power, control and money. It was about world dominance, a screenplay to see how People would react to total control, junk Science, I disregard for the Constitution. Big businesses were essential, everyone else suffered. The gap in wealth and poor is much larger now.
Where do we go from here? Stand up and be counted, do what’s correct, support them who support the Constitution, start with the local government positions, go to meetings, share with others of what’s happening in your local area, be informed, VOTE!

Many people lost their jobs due to vaccine mandates. Now the Government owes their jobs back, with compensation and missed health care coverage. This was incredibly damaging to individuals and families, and as it turned out, completely unnecessary.

How about all the above but the most damaging in my eyes is the mandates and keeping the therapeutics from the people. MANY died because of that and the blame goes immediately to Biden and his cronies. Shame on this corrupt government including CDC, WHO, FDA and NIH! Fauci should be sitting in jail right now. Evil is dominant right now but the consolation is, in the end, GOD WINS! ALWAYS.

Everything about the pandemic and how the government handled it at all levels was wrong and absolute over reach. Unfortunately, we allowed it! Make sure you and your family and friends vote this November and change the makeup of our government.

What about early treatment, it is what we do for every other disease except covid. There were a lot of Dr’s who were calling for early treatment because of their success with it.

There has never been a. Public health crisis in the history of mankind so mismanaged. The norm since the understanding of disease is to isolate the ill, protect those at high risk and ignore the rest. Those countries and states that did that did the best. But this was a political virus, motivated to destroy Trump. Instead we elected a senile old an, who is destroying the US. It is probably already too late to reign in the Gates’s and the Bezos’s and the owners of media and tech, and reverse the politicization of colleges, the national security agencies, and the state department. School teachers teach our children to believe they are inadequate or bad as is and then encourage them to change sex. We will not survive as a country.

I have an issue with this poll regarding bad calls about the way COVID was handled… you limited us to only two choices!
You also forget that some states force VA and nursing homes to take in COVID positive residents putting the ones most at risk in direct contact with this virus and resulting in thousands of deaths. Another major issue was censoring by mainstream and social media of many of the actual facts from being publicized! No transparency to the American public. How about the thousands of small businesses that were forced out of business while mega corporations like Amazon and Walmart thrived? Billions wasted and lost in fraud from mismanaged stimulus spending?

By far the biggest mistake was 80+ percent of the media blaming the whole Covid-19 thing on President Trump and using that misinformation to defeat Trump and elect the Biden clown posse.
How is everyone liking all the crap that’s going on now in the USA and around the world?

Do not know if this is true: Have read that WHO had test kits at start, but the CDC & USA decided that they wanted to develop their own —- which took several months. Just look back at history & how fast South Korea started testing people & where they got test kits.

How can you promote “natural immunity”? Are you OK with people getting COVID and dying? You are composed of senior citizens, I thought. I am NOT OK with letting everyone risk death. I think everything has been handled fine for the last two years. I have no complaints. I do know Amac is on the far-right side of partisan politics. Oh well. (Watch all the thumbs-down I get–same as with The Epoch Times comments.)

The response to this virus was a scam from the beginning. 15 Days to stop the spread? In Home Quarantine so that you can catch and spread within your house due to enclosed conditions. Paper masks to stop a virus – its like trying to catch a BB with a Chain-link fence. Shutting down contrary and opposing thought? Lying about the mortality numbers – between dying FROM Covid and dying WITH Covid. Above all, its was a SARS Virus. We know very well how to handle a SARS virus, and everything that was done was the complete opposite of what should have been done.

I worked in a private Faith-Based nursing home in upstate NY during the 1st 5 months
of the COVID Pandemic. To have Covid patients forced on our already frail and vulnerable population was horrific. Our agency pushed backed & severely limited the numbers. Thank God.

But seeing the devastating effect of loved ones unable to come visit the residents was incredibly cruel on both sides! And I saw how the same restrictions in hospital settings caused patients to lose their fights for their health due to their heartbreak of separation. Thankfully those changed over time. But there still must be a vigilant protective process for visitors and patients to all be safe.

I DO believe in vaccinations. My husband and I are both older and need to be extra cautious.
There are many truths seen in the COVID wards regarding this as essential. But due to HIPPA policies it has NOT been allowed to be shown or discussed.That would be very eye opening to many. Medical staff on the front lines fight for our health and survival. They see the what happens to
those who choose NOT to vaccinate. But they cannot share the facts. Think twice about refusing the COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. Please reconsider.

Well, that was difficult! Two? Really? Only two can be chosen. Every single one of these was a MAJOR issue in the response to the Covid-19 (election hero for Biden) pandemic. The media and the sheeple that believe every word they present as gospel get the brunt of the blame too. The media should be ashamed as they are supposed to be a liaison between government and The People. But I’m afraid those days of actual, ligitimate reporting and journalism have long been left behind.

I’d include the fallacy of asymptomatic transmission. This untruth played a big role in the shutting down of businesses and the quarantining/masking of healthy people unnecessarily. A better strategy would have been to focus on protecting the vulnerable (e.g. elderly and those with known co-morbidities).

I also agree with other comments that this was all a hoax (and we need an “all of the above” on the poll! I think this was created by fabricated fear using poor quality testing (false positives supporting asymptomatic spread untruth), financial incentives for medical folks to call everything COVID, deny early treatment (deny therapeutics so they can get Emergency Use Authorization for the money-making vaccines), and follow terrible ventilator/Remdesivir hospital protocols and move sick people into nursing homes to up the death count. It is downright evil what has transpired.

People need to do a better job of researching and thinking for themselves!! We can never again let those that wish to take away our liberties for power and financial gain use fabricated fear to so easily control us!

If the talking head, lying democrat media actually told the TRUTH instead of covering up for the human wrecking ball that is Joe Biden. America wouldn’t be in this turmoil today. Uneducated voters due to the Lying media equals what we are dealing with today. To quote most democrat voters “My family has always voted democrat”.

I think that all of the above was wrong, the way they down played the American people , and then do what they wanted on the side was double standards big time. I fell they took advantage of the elderly especially during the election by stilling their votes and then some, to me this whole thing was planned out right from the beginning. I don’t belive covid is real and it amazes me how the flu, Amonia, and the commen cold had disappeared, but covid was everywhere. I feel it was just an excuse to take advantage of the American people the whole thing was a set up right from the start.

They are all the biggest mistakes, but the biggest of the biggest was the shutdown of the economy and the lockdowns.

But the absolute most heinous mistake was the giving up of the liberties and freedoms that our forefathers fought so hard for. We gave them up so easily it was amazing to watch!
As Benjamin Franklin famously said: “Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” and we did not even get the safety.
