Three years after the virus first emerged in Wuhan, China is the only major country in the world still attempting to stop transmission of COVID-19 - a “zero COVID” approach that requires forced constant testing, confinement to your apartment if anyone on an adjacent floor tests positive, and mandatory removal to quarantine centers.
Ill NEVER forget. I owned Bergstrom’s book. I threw it in the recycling. Another excellent piece. Thank you. ( btw , i love your writing style in addition to the content).
The idea that we could ever eradicate an easily transmissible aerosolized virus like SARS-COV-2 in the US is completely absurd.
First off, the flow of migrants into the US is poorly regulated. All US borders are leaky. People come into the country in significant numbers without any government agency inspecting them, quarantining them, or even being aware of them. So, once Covid 19 was eradicated, it would be reintroduced almost immediately.
Second, the virus has wild animal reservoirs right here in the US. What are we gonna do, test and quarantine all the deer?
Third, an aerosolized respiratory virus can travel for many miles in the atmosphere. National borders are not going to stop that.
Fourth, look at the track record in places that tried using either their extreme isolation (e.g. Hawaii and New Zealand) or extreme authoritarianism (e.g. China). Neither of those places remained free of SARS-COV-2. Somehow, the virus still reached their populations and continues to circulate. (And even if they did eradicate it for a time, once it became endemic in the rest of world, they would have had to enact an unworkable perfect screening of every visitor and every native traveller to the outside. Forever.)
Fantastic work. We need more of this. The ghouls that were wrong and willing to trample on the rights of people need to be held to account lest this whole ungodly ordeal be repeated.
Throughout this mess I was continuously amazed how common sense was not prevailing in terms of policy decisions. To wit, we knew from the Diamond princess cruise ship that preexisting immunity to covid existed and how covid was predominantly a threat to the elderly and otherwise compromised yet the policies ignored these clear facts. Also ignored was the immunity conferred by getting infected and recovering. The "vaccines" did not prevent infection/transmission yet moronic mandates were pushed. The list is endless and I determined that my anger and frustration could not go higher...but I was wrong.
The fact that the same people that pushed and supported the nonsensical policies are now trying to slither away from their immensely harm inducing policies has raised my anger to previously unattainable levels. These people are shameless and it is nauseating.

It was never about the virus.
It was always about getting the covid death shots into arms.
Most successful military/government psychological operations ever!
Those people don't realise that Archive and Wayback exist for a reason. Plus many have thousands of links saved - like myself.
I recall even emailing to zeyzep her....
