Recommendable! A critique of Western countries engaging in broad dictatorial measures to deal with a fairly harmless pandemic for two years now!
The motivations by Western politicians are dubious like Zero Covid-19 or eradication of Covid-19 or is it the largely absurd fight against climate change.
Just a little fact on the side, we have recently reached 9 billion administered vaccinations worldwide! This is absolutely breathtaking! More vaccinations than humans live on this planet! The disease is well under control! It is high time to return to fairly normal life like before the pandemic!
Why SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 is a relatively harmless disease and why the cure was worse than the disease.
".... Government leaders have tipped their hands. Covid-19 has given them access to powers that they are loath to lose. Alarmingly, people in the world’s freest societies (using the prepandemic 2019 “Freedom in the World” report by Freedom House) — notably in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand — have allowed totalitarian restrictions so long as they were euphemized as safety measures. Without the gloss, they include house arrest, dehumanizing dress codes, movement papers for work, shopping, and travel, and apartheid. The establishment of concentration camps for dissenters in Australia is a grievous late development.
Against this backdrop, SARS-CoV-2 transitioning to an endemic virus continues to play into their hands, as long as people stay afraid, and the media seem inclined to keep them afraid. Already familiar with cranking up hurricane fear with “named” winter storms, they glommed on to the WHO practice of naming the variants according to the Greek alphabet (incidentally, WHO skipped “Xi” to go directly to “Omicron,” for some unknown reason). But mutating is the evolution of a pandemic into a manageable virus. And while governments pursue “Zero Covid” policies and make people think it could be done if only everyone complied, only one human virus has ever been fully eradicated (smallpox). ..."
