With multiple peer-reviewed studies showing the potential danger from
autoimmune side effects associated with covid mRNA vaccines (the more
doses the higher the risk) , along with numerous studies debunking the
notion that lockdowns, mandates and masks are effective at stopping
the spread of the virus, more and more public figures are beginning to
speak out about their initial support of the authoritarian measures.

Actor Tim Robbins recently expressed his regret on Russell Brand's
podcast for blindly following government mandates and he admonished
tyrannical attitudes that led lockdown supporters to call for the
deaths of their political opponents.

While hindsight is indeed 20/20, it should be noted that there were
millions of people in the US alone that saw the covid hype for what it
was and tried to warn others.

The fear mongering by the government and mainstream media in the face
of the covid pandemic was effective in terrorizing at least half the
American populace into compliance during the first year of the event.
Many alternative media analysts and many doctors and virologists came
out against the mandates early on, warning that the median Infection
Fatality Rate (IFR) of covid was tiny (0.23% officially) and that the
lockdowns were about control rather than public safety.  These people
were demonized by the corporate media and threatened with punishment
by the government.  They faced censorship, potential joblessness and
being denied access to health care.  In some cases they were even
labeled "terrorists" for refusing to comply.

Luckily, half the states in the US rejected the mandates and stood
firm against Joe Biden's efforts to institute vaccine passport rules
on American employers and workers.  Had it not been for those
conservative state officials and the liberty minded people that fought
back, our nation might look more like China today with its draconian
"zero covid" policy.

As we all said from the very beginning, the covid response was about
centralizing power over the population using fear.  It was never about
saving lives.  The US came within a breath of perpetual medical
totalitarianism, and much needs to be learned in terms of public
psychology as the dust settles on covid.
