“Vanden Bossche stated publicly that trying to vaccinate people in the midst of a “pandemic” is about the worst thing you can do if stopping the spread is truly your goal. “

I said that in the beginning.
I got called heartless and cruel.
But I cited some doctors who were suggesting very early on (Jan/Feb 2020) that we should not be shutting down or suppressing the spread among the healthy population, and just passing most of those spending bills to protect the vulnerable.
Then I got hit with the “can’t overwhelm the hospitals” argument. Hard to argue against it. We will never know how bad the hospitalizations would have got, but if you are protecting the vulnerable, in theory, it might not have been enough, and the potential for herd immunity could have avoided 2 more years of waves and variants.
Absolutely true! You never mask or quarantine otherwise healthy people! These measures taken by the government was never about a virus! Some people were/are so traumatized they won’t recover. Luckily for me, my family remained sane. We still carried on normally.
I always surmised that those calling for lockdowns were govt workers who got to stay home , get fully paid, while others lost their businesses, their life savings, etc....
but it didn't matter to the lockdown brigade...the branch covidians.....
