Thank you, Doug. Yes, complacency , burying our heads in the sand, hoping it will all get better if we just ride it out - nope, not going to cut it.

This piece may be your most important one yet. Because recognition is first. Action can't follow blindness or denial.

This is a great article, Lori. Anyone who answered Yes or True to those questions needs to have some way to acknowledge that they were manipulated into doing things which they would not otherwise have done and about which they may well feel remorse. Your article gives them an opening into confronting the truth. I hope it gets widely circulated.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my article, and for your support, Richard!

Yes, I believe we all must kindly, and consistently, try to help others see the truth of what has happened. If only we could say it's all in the past, but, unfortunately, instead of being a one-and-done, the Covid-19 response was a template for future emergencies, unless enough people become aware and push back.

As always, money has been the driving force behind all of the draconian policies that issued forth from our leaders.

I am very tempted to temporarily change my political party affiliation just so I can vote for RFK, Jr in the presidential primary...

Agreed! Since April 2020 I've been saying that money, power and reputation have been at the heart of the pandemic response.

RFK Jr would do a lot of much needed housecleaning if he gets into office.
