Creeping Tyranny

It started out as "2 weeks to flatten the curve".  I held out hope until 3/30/2020 that I could go on my Disneyland trip during the first week of April.  No such luck.  Too bad, so sad.  Frankly, I was annoyed and irritated back then, now there is a bubbling anger that has a lid on it.

18 months later, things are still stupid to a ridiculous degree.  Can't go inside a business without a mask, no matter that it does about as much good as a chain link fence does to keep out mosquitos.  Talking about a shot like it is God's gift to the world in spite of no where near the level of scrutiny has been given to it that other shots have been given.  I refuse to call it a vaccine because it is not.  It does not grant immunity and it does not prevent transmission.  Two things that were said that it did, but it turns out does no such thing.  Companies have been sued for less.  And they are talking about boosters?  After 3 months?  Have fun with your quarterly booster.

"Trust the science" is repeated ad nauseum except when anyone points out actual science, then it's "just do what you're told".  The data is all there for anyone to see.  Some have even compiled it into easy to read formats, but the raw data is also available.  This is not the plague or zombie apocalypse.  When a disease has an average mortality age higher than the average lifespan on has to wonder ... Dubya Tee Eff.

Honestly, the 2020s will be known as the decade of the dumbass because that is the kind of person in charge and walking around with their head up their hind-side (presumably for the warmth)

Seriously, though, where does it end because the last time stuff like this crap came about there were some countries capable of stopping it (and it got pretty bad before it did get stopped), but now ... there isn't anyone to stop the tyranny.
