That's the question. I don't think pork or power or saving face or even drinking the koolaide can make sense of the past year. No one is acting appropriately. The fourth estate is gone. The people who are supposed to protect us from Big Pharma and Big Government are in on it. There are some very highly credentialed people, formerly held in high regard, who believe this is a deliberate pandemic and SARS-Cov-2 is a bioweapon. I sure hope they're wrong.
