There is only one true choice in my humble opinion. The total disregard and replacement of science with political science together with the deep disrespect of the US Citizen.
Can you name one virus movie where they used cloth masks? Or was that a Hollywood fallacy that you need a full body suit when dealing with deadly viruses like the Andromeda Strain? Do they actually use cloth masks in the bio labs that develop such viruses?

Biggest mistakes by the government and scientific experts:
1) Vaccine mandates (people should be allowed to choose);
2) Mixed communications (how could people make fully informed choices, when nobody could provide consistent messaging);
3) Total lack of preparation for a pandemic (hope that we are better prepared the next one but I doubt that we will be).

Robert Kennedy said it Best in his book about why Fauci was a disgrace… There should be a weekly discussion about treatments of therapeutics and how doctors must treat the disease in order to prevent so many victims ending up going home and ending up in i.c.u.s later on or on ventilators or dying. These moronic vaccine pushing pharma bucks receiving corrupticons censoring vitamin C, D, calling any cheap medication that may help a little bit horsepaste need to be brought up on charges and there needs to be tribunals. I have documents. I have been saving proof for two years and there are so many clips and other freedom fighters out there that we know the day will come for them to face justice. How do they sleep at night? With one eye open hopefully…

Our federal government is out of control and disregards individuals rights. This government tramples the Constitution daily and people willfully ignor it and play into the plan of a tyrannical government.
Until We choose a solution, provided to us, by the Constitution, America will continue to die off.
The only solution that will work is to call for a Convention of States and put the power back to the states, where it rightfully belongs!
We need to live by the Constitution as it was originally intended!

A virus, that I know, can never be killed. The word vaccine implies total safety. Once a virus is out it remains so because it is great at adapting to change that is its job. COVID-19 is here to stay in whatever form it takes. Think of the flu, chicken pox-shingles, etc. People die each year from the flu, it is a fact. I know that sounds heartless but, the truth about all of this needs to come out into the open. I personally would like to see some accountability but, I am just a deplorable.

The action in redefining “vaccine” for the pharmaceuticals to allow the use of this I’ll-researched “medicine”, and freeing the companies from legal recourse and responsibilities for the side-effects of this dangerous “vaccine”. Will see many years of repercussions from its employment as a medicine. I also feel that President Trump is partly to blame for this”vaccine” because he allowed fear to rule over common sense and caution. The people have lost control of their government.

This was released in CHINA a part of Ukraine on purpose to depopulate. We have a criminal cabal running the world right now and it is about to end. Every thing in our world is corrupt and they have lied about every thing we have been taught. Everything. Wake up sheep. This was done deliberately. Then they got you in the hospital and you did not come out. Wake up. Ukraine is the deep state throne room and that it shy Putin is taking it down. Human trafficking, biolabs, and human slave trade and you sheep stick up for Ukraine. Trump is on his way back and Almighty God loves his people and big changes are coming to save humanity. Do your research on that entire area and learn the true history of that entire area. The world has suffered greatly and it will soon be over, but not without a fight. Freedom has to be fought for.

Early-on authorities were dealing with an unknown, so advice and protocols were understandably sketchy and more or less on a trial basis. But by the six-month timeline, the vigorous discounting and criticism of therapeutics (e.g., Hydroxychloroquine, etc.), it became obvious that our political class, with help from Big ED unions, would “milk” this crisis. They were going to find out just how well the American population reacted to a Marxist-style authoritarian government. So, we finally witnessed our Democrat Party, and just how far they would go to project authority. They abused segments of our population with mandate-protocols, job ending threats, and complete disrespect for our liberties. State Legislatures better get a handle on these abuses … this was a dry run.

Instead of “wear a mask, wash your hands, social distance” there should have been an emphasis on how people could improve their immune system whether it be diet, vitamins, minerals, activity, or something else.
