Powerful bureaucrats sought to squash those who promoted alternatives to the government’s tyrannical coronavirus lockdown strategy.
Outgoing National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins lamented that the Great Barrington Declaration was getting “a lot of attention”. “There needs to be a quick and devastating takedown of its premises,” the NIH Leader told his colleagues Lawrence Tabak, Cliff Lane and Anthony Fauci in an email from October, 2020.
For those who are not familiar, the Great Barrington Declaration sought to end coronavirus lockdowns, opting for an approach they dubbed “Focused Protection,” which would aspire to achieve “herd immunity” while protecting the most vulnerable. Not unlike the Rome Declaration, the GB Declaration recognized that combatting the coronavirus needed a strategy that did not do more harm than good.

“COVID-19 is gone, when did you last hear of anyone who has died of COVID-19?” Ndou said. “The mask is to protect my pocket,” he said. “The police demand bribes so I lose money if I don’t move around with a mask.” Earlier this week, Zimbabwe recorded just 33 new COVID-19 cases and zero deaths, in line with a recent fall in the disease across the continent, where World Health Organization data show that infections have been dropping since July.

But there is something “mysterious” going on in Africa that is puzzling scientists, said Wafaa El-Sadr, chair of global health at Columbia University.

this is what you get when you can make statements like "the science is settled" and you can still keep your job. We have allowed idiots to remain in control. At some point, we need to look inward to see where we failed. Until the majority realizes this, we will continue along this same path.

I've had this fear that the VA system will, at some point, kick me out
for noncompliance because of not getting the vax. So far it appears to be unfounded but it is a concern.
The other issue that I found was as follows:
Every time I go in, I am asked if I've been vaccinated.
I tell them no as I want to see long term safety data. That's all I say. No argument or conspiracy. The other day I was on the VA medical portal looking up a biopsy result
when I stumbled over my clinical notes. The notes specify that I've been refusing the vax when offered. Technically, they never offered the vax to me. They just asked if I had taken it. I don't appreciate the misrepresentation.
On the grand scale, it's minor but It still irritates me.
It's like the DMV decided to get into healthcare.
