Call it a “choice” if you want, I was opposed to how that “choice” was presented at the time. Reality has since obviously demonstrated that every ounce of skepticism that people like @loppar openly derided was then and is now 100 percent justified.
The threat presented by Covid didn’t warrant that kind of “choice” being forced on hundreds of millions of Americans.
Not then, not ever, precisely because of the greed and corruption that is endemic to our present institutions. Now trusted by fewer people than ever, btw.
Edit: And to keep this on topic, domestic propaganda about Ukraine is suspiciously similar to our domestic propaganda we are getting about Covid, all from the same group of people.
