This entire thread would have been nuked into oblivion back then. That F84 is still a thing is beyond all understanding. I guess even the sheep require a pen to play in.
Here nuked on Politics? That would have meant moderation was Covidian. Don't recall that. It could be discussed. Wasn't the whole point of F84 to give the non-skeptics a place?

Addendum: Now where it *would* have been nuked is Twitter and YouTube. YouTube even banned Bongino for talking about masks.

Don't forget how devastating the school shutdowns and being confined to home was on the pediatric population. Massive increases in BMI and mental illness due to those regulations and the kids were never in danger to begin with.

True. Yet schools are petri dishes for spreading such things right out the gate. It again comes down to the interval -- the lying, the not being honest. Lets say you did have it as first thought with people dropping --- 15 days of school shutdown would be just a glorified spring break --- it would not have had lasting harm.

The issue was the continuation of the pause as much as even doing it in the first place. Doing it in the first place was the first sin, but the really bad one was not lifting it at the end of the time period.

I meant if this thread was in F84.

The entire premise that shutting down the schools would have any effect on COVID was ludicrous. Mainly because it wasn't a complete shutdown. People still went to work. They went to the grocery store. They went to Lowes and Home Depot. Lockdowns don't work unless EVERYTHING is locked down. And then the stupid masks. Wear masks all the time except when you are eating in a public place. Wear masks in your car. Wear masks on the beach. And lets not forget how the flu mysteriously just up and disappeared. Oh and remdesivir and the effects it had on people who were on ventilators. Not to mention the coordinated and concerted effort to discount Ivermectin would could have saved thousands of lives. Fauci, Birkes, and the rest of the so called medical experts are guilty of crimes against humanity and deserve nothing less than an 8x8 windowless cell for the rest of their miserable lives.

I feel stupid for ever having bought into the first few weeks of the pandemic in the US.

The media/pics that came from China and Italy scared me and a lot of others.....

.... then we caught our common cold lab leaked virus..... and realized what a scam the whole thing was.

That's why don't let the alphabets off the hook. The 20th C ones in WW II and the Cold War would have been able to clarify if was a bio-weapon and probably even the level of fraud from Chinese reports/videos.

But Brennan Obama era alphabets were too busy weaponizing against Republicans and quality went down so low China even stole a bunch of security clearances in that time frame.

Will never forget waiting for reason to prevail but that never happened.

At the time some folks realized the total insanity of 'locking down,' 'essential workers' and ''shutting down the economy.'

Then days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to years.

Printed $8 trillion dollars out of thin air to try and float the economy along. Put everybody on unemployment and handed out Covid relief like it was Halloween candy.

Now 5-years later people complaining about the price of eggs and that Brayden will never be able to afford a starter home.

Two weeks to stop the spread was an arrow that once released, you could never take it back.

Maybe the most pivotal decision in all human history and there was almost no opposition or opportunity for debate.

You do realize that is because both the DNC-MSM didn't want it to -- that it was Trump's re-election year 2020?

What you were waiting for might have happened had it been say, in Bill Clinton's term.

For sure.

There are threads on here from March 2020 documenting where posters called bs on Covid from the earliest possible moment saying citing 'there are no coincidences in an election year.'

In hindsight, lockdowns were imminent by February 2020 well before the average person had heard of Covid.

It was around this time that we saw the first glimmers of major corporations discussing contingency plans for lockdowns and 'travel letters' for essential employees.

This was in Feb 2020. Remember it specifically on account of a conversation with a guy I've known for decades who works in corp security and had access to services that provide major corps with briefing on business intelligence /potential disruptions and security related matters.

Saw this come across where I was at in Feb 2020 and thought wtf?, is this for real or is this just us?' So remember going back and forth with this guy over text through Feb 2020 along the lines of 'are you seeing this ****? and is this for real?'

So for a period of about month we watched this process roll on in he background unbeknownst to the average person and not knowing what to make of it.

So yes, the script was written well in advance of what people realize. Waiting for reason to prevail went for about a month and a half from Feb 2020 to mid March when it all went down.

Was along the lines of 'they aren't really gonna do this are they?'

And they did.

We need to keep 84 around as a reminder to the history of that tragedy.

It has not had a post in over 2 months, and there are less than 10 threads with posts younger than 1 year old.

It's a time capsule right now. It should stay that way, IMO.
