What alarms me the most is how easily the general public has bought into the "shame your neighbor for not complying" narrative, and how gleefully they are enforcing it even within their own families and social circles. It's one thing if the government mandates something, quite another if most people willingly hop on-board and do the bulk of the work for them.
It almost feels like the same obsessive self-flagellation expected of SJWs. Perhaps it makes people feel like martyrs or heroes. It definitely makes them feel "intelligent" and "morally superior" to the heartless strawmen who dare to question the constantly shifting goalposts and confusing political rhetoric around the pandemic.
All of this really is a very successful appeal to emotion and mass paranoia.
What I love the most is that doctors are too stupid and dishonest to talk about natural immunity - something forever mask wearing will prevent.
We need interactions with people, with things, to build our natural immune systems. Nothing in life is sterile. Trying to create artificial sterility with masks will make people's health poorer later on. With poor health comes lower IQ, more depression etc. Besides, masks don't work in the way that's being rammed down everyone's throats.
Either way, it's basically creating a bubble boy situation. Doctors know this, because they bitch and moan about it on the daily when it
suits them. But dishonesty in the medical/science field is par for the course.
They've been very, very keen on the notion of no handshaking, no touching others, don't be NEAR people, wear a mask, suppress communication, don't visit family etc - we are social creatures and their own studies prove that a lack of interaction, a lack of touching destroys your immune system, that depression destroys your immune system.
Aside from this, living a life under a mask is not natural nor is it viable.
This is the paradox of the medical field - do as I say, when I say it, but don't you dare try and think for yourself or question. Their studies are only as good as the quality of the freedom of speech/thought.
Ergo, we have doctors saying men can be women. They've pushed the idea of it being "the new normal" for a reason.
That filters down to society, because some people love authoritarianism when it's their side doing it. They want any chance to feel powerful over those they disagree with. There's a reason why it's not being pushed as a medical panacea by a lot of top doctors, but instead, being pushed as "solidarity" for those who fear the virus and or "a sign we're taking it seriously". It's a gesture of obedience and compliance.
