Nobody was ever informed about, or got to weight up and decide, what the costs and benefits to the covid response are, and what should be done.<p>Because they were censored and bullied and silenced, and a campaign of fearmongering and coercion has been instituted.<p>Only "experts" who are hopelessly entangled with the pharmaceutical industry and gain of function research into coronaviruses have been permitted to speak. Experts who have frequently been wrong, backtracked, and even lied.<p>And people wonder why there is a significant skepticism. Replace covid with WMD and pharma with military, and the same playbook was used to coerce nations into going to war against Iraq.
