So you were bludgeoned into compliance for economic and health reasons totally unrelated to the virus.

This is exactly what the globalsts were counting on.

I do suppose it is more comfortable and convenient than going Galt.

Having come from the healthcare industry, specifically in high-tech home care specializing in HIV/AIDS and understanding how the FDA is not looking out for us, we chose to say "no, never" regardless of consequences. This includes inability for my wife of 18 years, a former legal green card holder in the states, from entering the states.

Fortunately, we had saved for the proverbial "rainy day."

I never trusted the FDA---based on personal experience with AZT and that lying dwarf Fauci (who I have met personally in HIV/AIDS community board meetings---twice), nor doctors who are required to comply with employer orders. (Note: the number of private practioner doctors is close to zero today, since clinics have bought practices out, and noobs from residency get hired as employees. They are now (rich) employees who must comply with clinic orders, and not "practice" medicine for their own art.)

This whole unnecessary episode in history is because normal citizen Joe & Molly Six-Pack from Keokuk who trust CNN refused to stand up and say "f@<k no, I ain't getting toxxxed, not until I see credible long-term studies proving efficacy and safety." Which will NEVER come, because they will not be done (except by outsiders who get cancelled) and the shit is NOT "safe and effective."
