What Has Happened to Us? A Retrospective of the COVID Pandemic
Uncover DC ^ | 04/29/2024 | Tracy Beanz

Posted on 04/29/2024 10:53:18 AM PDT by Vendome

1. Stuck At Home:
How many of us have heard the terrible stories about what happened to children from abused homes who were forced to stay there during the pandemic? 
2. The Homeschool revolution and parents more involved in learning.
Before the pandemic, I helped my kids with their homework, but I honestly had no idea what lesson plans were being taught in my children's classroom. I am not alone.
 
3. Reassessing Priorities:
During the pandemic, people had more time to think…about everything. And many of them realized they didn't want to be a slave to an office job, driving back and forth in traffic each day only to come home exhausted at 7 PM. 
 
4. Health Freedom:
There is no doubt that the COVID pandemic has demonstrated with clarity what governments think about your personal sovereignty. Their oversized actions when it came to speech and autonomy over your body caused an absolute revolution in personal freedom. 
5. Re-evaluating Their Doctors:
This is a big one. For decades, many have trusted their doctors. But the pandemic and the lack of early treatment, coupled with the reaction to those attempting to provide it, was just what was needed to break the spell.

I no longer trust the medical field for GP purposes. Too many were spouting crap that just couldn't possibly be true about this virus, which was .....well, a virus.

We've know about viruses and how they work for over 150 years but, they sold is being such a talented virus that could do so many things.

I contemplated catching it so I could train it to make my coffee and bed every morning.

No, we were all going to die.

Well, maybe but, most certainly if you were over 78 and several comorbidities.

The daily stats from health departments across the nation and mine in Santa Clara County kept proving over and over again that if you healthy you probably weren't going to die but, have similar symptoms to the flu.

The Flu?

This thing had the exact same symptoms and treatment as uhmmm.....the flu

Never mind that doctors were induced to give at least two shots to their patients at some $300 per. That is a lot of money being paid

billions for claiming people had or died of Covid when at best they were in the hospital for something unrelated and all they had to do was claim someone had Covid or put them on a respiratory and blow out their lungs

Y'all can add to this rant

What happened was that the government found out that some people are happy to jump around like marionets no matter how absurd the information being disseminated is.

It portends a very dark future.

Milgram’s Experiment proved this.

How about the hundreds of thousands KILLED by the deadly protocols propagated and incentivized by our own government?

The biggest disappointment for me was that THIS WEBSITE had so many gullible Branch Covidian morons who couldn’t wait to fall all over themselves and surrender their civil rights in abject fear of an outbreak that turned out to be no worse than a serious strain of the flu.

People learned that governments, at the behest of their globalist masters, would sacrifice the lives and well being of the entire world to further their agenda. Those who worked in Law, Science, and Medicine went along with it. History repeats itself.

People learned the shocking, bitter truth that many of their neighbors, bosses, and coworkers absolutely beg to lick the boot that stomps them.

People also learned that they need to grow up and stop listening to the propaganda that's been fed to them for decades.

Things doctors predicted with the passage of Medicare in the 60s have come to pass & none of it is good. It is effectively impossible for a doctor to have an independent practice because of regulations & paperwork taking time/money to satisfy to get paid. This means corporate medicine where the physician can’t exercise medical judgment in favor of the patient, instead being required to toe the line drawn by the MBA crowd.

Re: 1 and 2: My wife and I are in our 80’s, so we and none of our younger relatives had to deal with school issues besides college.
3. Reassessing Priorities:
During the pandemic, people had more time to think…about everything. Many of them realized they didn’t want to be a slave to an office job, driving back and forth in traffic each day only to come home exhausted at 7 PM.

Basically everyone of our younger relatives quit the long drives to and from work. That happened from coast to coast.

4. Health Freedom:
There is no doubt that the COVID pandemic has demonstrated with clarity what governments think about your personal sovereignty. Their oversized actions when it came to speech and autonomy over your body caused an absolute revolution in personal freedom.

We lost both relatives and friends due to their inability to get the treatment needed when they needed it.

5. Re-evaluating Their Doctors:
This is a big one. For decades, many have trusted their doctors. But the pandemic and the lack of early treatment, coupled with the reaction to those attempting to provide it, was just what was needed to break the spell.

This even impacted relatives working in frontline medical care. One is an RN, and she got a job that eliminated her long drives and is able to treat patients when they need treatment or referrals, not months later.

Re my wife and I re Covid impacting our lifestyle. It has impacted my wife’s health as she had to wait about 8 months to get a necessary hip replacement.

I lucked out and got a lot of lucky and timely treatments, before anyone knew how to spell Covid.

Yea, we never thought medicine or science would become as corrupt as the government itself.

The “government”, i.e. the filthy scumbag Puppet Biden regime, closed Christian churches while allowing strip clubs and casinos to remain open.

This is the nature of the beast. Everyone in the Biden junta should be arrested and put on death row. /spit

Kids Staying Home Isn’t Abusive, Brainwashing Parents to Think They Need 2 Jobs is Gaslighting

There was once a Living Wage, so that a family’s father could support the whole family with one job, and the family’s mother could stay home to do the most important “job”, nurturing the children. This was until the West’s leaders (MCA Mobbed-Up Ronald Reagan, pro-abortion Margaret Thatcher, West Germany’s Helmut Schmidt and Francois Mitterrand), met at the G-7 Economic Summit in Ottawa in 1981 to decide that the powerhouse of American manufacturing had to be dismantled and shipped off to China.

This was the historical dividing line between the human flourishing of free enterprise vs. the trans-national, Capitalist-Socialism of “Free Trade”. In the family, it was decided that women must be taken to work outside the home. No one tries to pretend that childcare workers do 1% of the “job” that mothers do for their own children when they’re allowed to stay at home. But capitalist-socialism had already been at work on the family for a hundred years, conditioning kids into mindless consumers and docile employees of gigantic businesses, since 1880.

Homeschooling is the norm in self-directed learning, as symbolized by the image of Abe Lincoln studying before his fire side. Americans of the Colonial-Revolutionary period had a literacy rate in the high 90th percentile, in the absence of European social controls, virtually all Yankees, even indentured servants and slaves, the common people, were able to learn on their own, to understand and debate the sophisticated politics of Thos. Payne’s “Common Sense” (600,000 copies sold to a population of 2.3 million Revolutionary Colonialists), the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers at a depth incomprehensible to today’s mis-educated college students, even to Poli-Sci graduate students.

This accorded with the Protestant ethic that people must be able to read their Bibles. Americans typically attained solid, basic literacy in a mere 40 hours of phonics, and practical numeracy in only 42 hours of arithmetic study, after which 13 year olds were expected to be pursuing self-employment and could enlarge their own education with such limited resources as were available to them, largely the Bible, Shakespeare and Plutarch’s Lives–not a bad foundation. Names of today’s communities with a continuing, strong ethos of self-employment, necessarily involving the freedom of young adolescents to spread their wings unimpeded by controls from the financial ultra-elite, are the North American Amish and the Spanish Catalan/Basque Mondragon Commune.

College graduates today have been denied, by design, a basic liberal-arts education that was freely available to many 1-room schoolhouse, elementary students prior to the imposition of universal forced schooling in the period 1880-1920. It was a result of planned, deliberate deprecation of curricula and intense, adverse behavioral conditioning, which long preceded their high school graduation.

It radicalized me. Covid was a massive transfer of wealth upwards. Tax the hell out of corporations and the wealthy. Punitive, confiscatory taxes on the elites.

It actually made me trust my doctor MORE. “Have you had a Covid vaccine? Me: “No. Doctor: “Ok. That’s fine. Your bloodwork looks great, keep exercising.”

Luvd going very good 6 figures to well 75k overnight and I’m still pissed about.

There was no sane reason for the response and the evidence more than clear within one month and people over 78 were 88% of the deaths

Upwards?

What about all the asshats getting $10’s of thousands free money and they never lost a day of work?

Hell, people in prison received checks

Non-citizens also received money

Not to mention how much went overseas as well

I got an email last year from my healthcare insurance titled
“The Flu is back”

I thought it was a joke, it wasn’t
