Unfortunately, we have a heavy, hidden hand that is crushing opposition to mandates - even from "learned" individuals. It may be beneficial to probe what is being offered -- or what threats are tendered to "authorities" that should have the common good over those they have authority over. A (wants to remain anonymous) doctor acquaintance of mine told me that there were threats to her and her family if she did not tow the narrative line. Dr Kory's and Dr Urso's comments on gross corruption on Ron Johnson's "2nd opinion" still ring in my ears. It is endemic across the spectrum of those involved in C19.
