I would like to answer this now, but am unable to time wise do it Justice.

Nutshell:
The masks, social distancing, and shut down were BS. There was never scientific justification for it, and I said so.
I encouraged the vaccine for adults and those at risk regardless of age. There was no good data to ever say that healthy young children should get it (they had a higher risk from the vaccine than the COVID). There was never any data at all to suggest that the vaccine prevented spread but authorities lied to us all and used that false claim as a reason to FORCE people to get the vaccine (or lose their livelihood which gave them no choice).
I believe in the vaccine in the proper patient population, but I NEVER approve of coercion being used on anyone to get a shot that they don’t want….that is ASSAULT.

The medical community was mislead by officials, the country was intentionally feared with manipulated statistics (ex # of those who died FROM COVID. Vs # of those who died WITH COVID) and the appointment of politically selected people to re review charts and change diagnoses that the treating Dr’s made in order to juice numbers.

Fauci……he knew better….he even said so in a 60 Minutes interview before the politics became involved.

COVID is no joke, but it got used to persist with a SHUT DOWN long after it was known to be unnecessary because provided political opportunity for the Left.

Regarding what I would have done what we have always done and what Sweden did (and was saying that also).
Isolate the sick, not the healthy. No Shut Down past the first month or two to “blunt the curve” to prevent overwhelming hospitals.
Vaccine recommended for all adults and high risk people - but not forced on anyone.
No school closings past the “blunting of the curve”, no healthy general population mask wearing (placebos), no social distancing,
No false claims about the vaccine - just say….”we really aren’t sure, so we are going to be cautious about [insert whatever related topic] rather than lying.
No false statistics….same standards for all reporting and no changing diagnoses to fit a political need.

In other words….handle it much like we did H1N1.

I won’t even get into the data that has come out on PAXLOVID right now, but remove Pharma from such influence in the FDA CDC and NIH.
