Bravo. As I remember. Please consider adding the conflict of interests in the virus's creation, i.e., Fauci leading the response to the very problem, he the lead covidian, helped create; and conflicts in treatment where many hospitals become death traps because they are awarded more for ineffective "covid protocols", even deaths, than keeping patients alive. I personally had to grab my spouse and extract her from the emergency room before she disappeared into a "no visitation" covid ward.
Please recognize the countless people of courage willing to endure firings, delicensing, ostracism, censorship and more to defend their right to choose, and in the case of doctors, to provide patients effective treatment. And do not forget that hero German doctor who appears to have developed an actual vaccine that worked, on his own, at his own personal risk and that of volunteers, following principles of immunology applicable to other vaccines. "Dr Stöcker"
I am glad you were able to save your wife. The denial of early outpatient treatment was one of the worst, most telling things. Do you have a reference re: the German vaccine? And yes, the deception about the origins of the virus deserves mention on this list. Unbelievable that it's up to 26 items and counting!
I also consulted a "nut" doctor willing to administer early treatments, such as "steroids", apparently expressly forbidden by "covid protocol". God, if we had known that earlier, we would never have had to step foot in the hospital.
Here is a critical article showing where he went right and where he went wrong: https://www.dw.com/en/german-coronavirus-vaccine-inventor-being-investigated/a-56828943. His protocols are nowhere as rigorous as those of Louis Pasteur and his discovery of a cure for Rabies, as documented in the book, "Rabid", which also thoroughly documents the nature of vaccines and their opposition. We are caught in the dilemma of science allied with big government versus saving lives. The response, in unison, "too bad", and when its ready, if you're alive, "sign here". It's not just scientific method, nor is it safety, which are used to justify current approaches, but also power and cronyism. Only those firms who are on the inside track of Covidian leadership have any chance of getting their vaccine onto the market. Rather, why not just disclose that a proposed vaccine has risks as stated in this article: https://forbetterscience.com/2021/12/01/german-antivaxxers-queue-for-stocker-vaccine/. Keep in mind something else also, that Stocker built his vaccine using a known method that has succeeded in vaccines used against other deadly diseases, and that given that, and the advances in medical science, when making an incremental improvement, does a candidate vaccine have to be treated in the same way as a potentially deadly, experimental treatment when it has 1) volunteers; 2) a proven past methodology for creation? There are two ways to solve problems, one is from scratch, which was justified for the mRNA vaccine, or just about any novel problem; or to copy the template from other successes, which is practiced day to day in nearly every field.
People like Fauci falsely claiming that vaccinated people are a "dead-end to the virus".
"When you get vaccinated, you not only protect your own health and that of the family but also you contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community," Fauci said. "In other words, you become a dead end to the virus. And when there are a lot of dead ends around, the virus is not going to go anywhere. And that's when you get a point that you have a markedly diminished rate of infection in the community."

I think loss of lower peripheral vision causing old people to trip, fall, and break bones is another serious downside. Of course masks also mess with basic emotions that depend on facial cues.
They lost me at #2. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on #1, though it’s clear in hindsight that was a mistake. The lesson I learned from it was to *never* surrender an inch of arbitrary power to today’s government. It’s laced with too many authoritarians who are willing to take and run with it. Once they reneged on the 15 day commitment, though, I knew we’d been suckered.
I’ve been reading Scott Atlas’ book, and it’s helped me a lot to understand what happened in 2020. For all his talk about “draining the swamp,” Trump delegated Covid authority to the worst elements of the bureaucracy (especially Dr. Birx, but also some from his own more trusted staff) to set policy, even when it went against his own better instincts. One of my takeaways from it was that the existing leadership of the civil service has been more deeply infiltrated by powerlifting incompetents than even I had suspected, and that none of them can be trusted any longer.
Yes, as part of the general, inexcusable strategy of denying all early outpatient treatment. Watching Peter McCullough testify in Texas about this, fairly early on, was one of the things which opened my eyes further.
I got deeply suspicious of Fauci the moment he said his reason for not recommending masks was to save them for doctors who needed them.
I have noticed a pattern though. While the measures taken under Trump were bad, it does seem that the CDC has become even more brazen under Biden----that could just be that they are getting more and more brazen and Biden came after Trump, but I wonder whether they feel emboldened with sleepy Joe in office.
Probably some of both. People have been complacent, most likely out of a combination of fear & generosity. That seems to be changing, thankfully, but I hope it’s not too late.
Critical thinkers have know this was a sham from the start. Reviewing the data and not the political “science” has guided my actions. Everyday I see less and less masks which in my opinion the non critical thinkers are starting to see they have been duped. I look forward to the day when Fauci is sent to Guantanamo for crimes against this great Republic.
It is baffling to me that he still has a job, given that we now know he covered up the probable origin of the virus--in a lab, where the research was subsidized by our tax dollars!
As for masks, I'm still seeing quite a lot in grocery stores, but at least I haven't had any "Karens" commenting on my not wearing one.
Well, I think there may be a solution to that come 2023. Reintroducing the Holman Rule, which was reintroduced in 2017 and then removed by a democrat controlled congress later. It basically allowed Congress to make provisions regarding the hiring of individual employees in appropriations bills.
Yes, it was already starting to suck by then. I still have the “non-essential” t-shirt I bought from Dave Rubin, inspired by his discussion with Mike Rowe.

Yes, that was a good one! And by “good”, I mean very bad.

1 is something most Americans would be willing to do on a voluntary basis. So really, no mandates were ever appropriate.
When they immediately dismissed, attacked, and lied about Hydroxychloroquine.

#1. As soon as the regime ordered a mass crime against humanity as a "public health" measure, I knew this was not about health.
