>Your government wants you to believe that cloth masks are effective against a tiny virus. Not necessarily. This is merely a narrative and a "something" politicians can act on. Government doesn't give a shit what you believe. >COVID “mask mandates, lockdowns, and school closures have had no discernible impact of virus trajectories.” Of course not, but the issue isn't a virus: it's control of a feeble minded populace. For that problem, this solution works. >effective treatments for COVID illness get overlooked or shut down Again, the problem here is not a virus: it's redistributing taxpayer funds to (((big pharma))). The only solution is to ban any cheap effective treatment in favor of the most costly taxpayer solution. My favorite mental gymnastics is telling the unvaccinated that vaccines are safe and effective and at the same time they don't work so they can get the already vaccinated to get more shots. Fucking amazing! My conspiracy theory is the Hall of Cost is no longer a good money maker. I was actually wondering what scheme (((they))) were going to cook up next.....
