You need to turn around and look back up the mountain, what would it take to convince you that there's nothing paranoid about it. As a matter of fact, I'd bet my entire life savings that if Trump were still in the Whitehouse and these same activities were going on, every leftist on this board would have the exact opposite reaction and be blaming Trump, saying he's fascist, going after those big, mean, bloated corps for forcing people to put something in their body, my body, my choice, blah, blah, blah... and ultimately refusing the vaccine, at least publicly.
I'd take that bet because all of the rest of the world is getting vaxxed as fast as we can to put an end to this thing. You speak like this pandemic is only happening in the USA and there is only one way to deal with the virus. There are no other examples.
WRONG AGAIN!!! In every country where lockdowns and masking, were rigidly enforced, there was minimum spread, disease, or death.
In countries where vaxxing is over 70%, cases have dropped through the floor. As have deaths.
Australia: Deaths per million of population 38 deaths per million of population. 933 deaths in 27 million population.

What the USA is doing in politicizing the pandemic is bat shit crazy. The Democrats, from the beginning, have been trying to follow the science, and indeed the states where the virus has been shut down are those which pushed masks and vaccines.
But Republicans denied the virus, it's effects, and the risks of just ignoring it. Now they're refusing to get vaxxed or wear masks because Democrats want them to. When the Trump White House said wear a mask, Democrats wore the masks. Republicans have been steadfastly refusing to do ANYTHING to mitigate this illness.
Who can forget all of the Republican members of the House and Senate getting covid, and STILL NOT WEARING A MASK.
