Thinking about this more - I've lost all trust in our governments, our doctors, our colleges, and "pubic health" generally. I'm sure I'm not alone. I had already decided that many aspects of our society were "a bit" of a scam, like a college-education (just a student-loan debt trap,) Wall Street "investing" (primarily just assholes gambling with other people's money,) and Government regulations (just kick-back schemes and stealing from the treasury.) I had also lost faith in "nutrition" science since they keep recommending that you not eat "normal" foods like eggs, and keep trying to force you to eat some industrial soy-based sludge. But I still sort of felt that things were generally "ok" and that they always would be if you just avoided the "known" scams.

But not now. They went too far. They over-played their bullshit and they thought if they controlled the media outlets we wouldn't be albe to compare notes. I now believe it's ALL a scam. All of it. Globally. At this point I'm doubting ALL modern medical treatments, ALL vaccines, ALL governments....I'm doubting that Republicans and Democrats on on different teams. I'm sure now that all this bullshit saber-rattling about Russia!! Ukraine!! is just the start of another FAKE problem. I'm even wondering about history now -- what really did happen in WW1? Vietnam? 9/11? Why does all this shit that happens never affect the "people in charge?" Coincidence? And I damn sure don't believe "elections" are real anymore-- what a huge bunch of theater that is. And I know I'm not alone. Everywhere people were scammed, every country, every profession, we ALL see the scam now. The kids forced to wear masks are NEVER going to believe anything they're told, ever again. The repercussions of this con game are going to last a lot longer than the money will. The turned "political agnostics" like me into true believers that the very last thing we need is more government.

I caught COVID in late 2019 (thinking at the time it was an odd sort of flu) from a patient just returned from China and quite sick.

COVID threat inflation in 2020 was obvious to me from Fauci's prior regular fall and winter interviews every year in the media, in which he would say every year that this will be an especially bad year for flu, so everyone please get a flu shot. (Never mind that flu shots have had 14% effectiveness.)

I not only never bought into lockdowns, masks or any covid hysteria, I never closed my business for even a day and never wore a mask once. But this is not unusual here in Arizona.

The AZ governor's Executive Order of spring 2020 actually prohibited a lot of the tyranny suffered elsewhere. It said that no entity will force the closure of any business, from hardware stores to nail salons, let alone supermarkets and doctors' offices. Then, in a sop to the local Karens, the governor weakly announced a covid-related curfew after 8:00 pm early in 2020, but lots of cars remained on the road after 8 pm, because we are after all Arizona, and we moved here (the most recently populated state), because freedom was a priority. Some of our sheriffs also rebelled against the curfew foolishness.

We also have the strongest vaccine exemptions among the states. Which is one of two factors that brought my family and me here decades ago.

So it wasn't so unusual for Arizonans to roll our eyes over covid manics and get on with our life the whole time. Everywhere except Costco, flights and public transit, you could go anywhere and do anything in Arizona without a mask, throughout the entire covid era.

Floridians, Texans and others can likely tell a very similar history.

There is only one thing I've been wrong about in the whole COVID era. In March 2020, I tweeted that covid mania was so obviously a scam for political purposes, to sell an eventual vaccine and upward wealth transfer, that most people would see through it by the end of April 2020. I was wrong about that timing, 15-20 months too early, but correct about the rest. I proved in mid-2020 that lockdowns don't work and that masks are a health hazard and are correlated with more not less COVID. Those peer-reviewed studies are on https://PDMJ.org
