There are several people who believe there was no pandemic at all.

I will say this, we in western countries (and much of the world) live entirely under free market capitalism and the fact that governments felt it was necessary to shut down economies in the original months of the first series of lock downs demonstrated to me that the situation was bad. The move was highly atypical from anything we've ever seen before despite going through smaller pandemics (swine flu, SARS). There was just something about this virus that came across to them, the higher ups, as a threat.

Even to this day in my country (Canada) if you enter a government building many of them have extreme security measures to prevent government employees from getting infected. Many of these buildings you can't even enter anymore. However you won't see the same security measures for Wendy's employee's. Even many doctors (especially clinic doctors) are still doing Skype appointments with their patients.

The denial about covid from joe average citizens is ridiculous for this reason. You think if government officials still have these security measures for themselves then there is no threat from this virus? give me a break. Covid had potential to kill anyone, period. Did that mean everyone who got it would die? of course not, but people still died premature deaths from it who wouldn't have otherwise. Its kill count in the U.S alone was 1 million, which many can deny or make excuses about but that's far higher of a kill count than even was was predicted (200k I believe). I have known people who died of Covid at a young age, however I have never known anyone to die young of any previous wave of the flu which tells me alone that Covid was a different breed. Covid ravaged through the nursing home/long term care home population in ways that the ''flu'' could not even shake a stick at.

The reason why mask mandates and protocol 's have been dropped for much of society is because of a new strategy. The strategy now is for higher up to protect themselves (as I mentioned above) and whatever-whatever for the rest of us.

Despite all of this, the 'covid denial mentality' is still alive and well. Not only do people believe there was no pandemic but that most deaths reported were fake or from something else underlying. Or they believe there was this ''Covid thing going on'' but it wasn't that bad and there is no more Covid coming in the future. The situation in China (what we do know of it) now demonstrate that the waves are continuous. We very well could be set for another series of waves. Vaccines are never 100% and Covid changes rapidly through the waves enough that it over rides vaccine efficacy. We got lucky with the Omicron as it was mild-er despite being vaccine resistant (or almost that) but we may not be so lucky again.
 
It's all a fucking shitshow. A virus is a virus. If there's scientific evidence that it's real then it's fucking real. Personally I believe whether you choose to get the vaccine, wear a mask, follow recommended guidelines should be entirely up to you but to outright deny the existence of something that has affected so many people is just moronic.
 
It's real but all this bullshit they've done is the bad thing and the fact no one gives a shit now except bugmen proves it wasn't a problem to begin with.
 
Except that the government and other legacy institutions lie constantly, shamelessly, about everything. So it's natural for people who know how much those actors gaslight them to question and reject their narratives. Maybe sometimes they're telling you the truth, but how the hell can you know? If someone lies to you 99% of the time, and they tell you something, and you have no idea if it's true--obviously you'd assume they're probably lying again.

I wasn't fully convinced that covid was "real" until I caught it personally. That was the only thing that made me say "yeah, this shit is real." Until then I was leaning towards "it's probably a real thing" but I wouldn't have totally ruled out the idea that it was all made up.

Oh I bet those government employees just hate that the average person can't go see them any more. I'm sure this is completely about safety.
 
It was a variant of the flu, a common annual illness that only kills a few thousand people every year.

The fact that we shut down the world for a year and a half, gave out trillions of dollars that have only predictably worsened inflation, rushed out faulty vaccines that didn't work and have likely killed far more people through negative reactions, and arrested people not willing to go along with all this nonsense over an annual illness with an incredibly low mortality rate was and still is absurd.

In short, your a cucked canuck who deserves to be buck broken by Justin Trudeau.

Why were we never locked down in 2009 with Swine Flu then?
 
uhh yeah most deaths were from people who were old or fat. Covid had a huge survival rate with 94 percent of the people who did die from it having multiple co-morbidities. In the beginning it looked like there needed to be some precautions taken but by the time of the st floyd riots it was pretty clear there was no reason to shut down the country and that the restrictions were arbitrarily enforced and whined about depending on the political bent of the people violating said restrictions. MAGA rally is a super spreader event, while 10,000 people packed in tight urban areas for Black Trans Lives Matter is just the summer of love.

covid was real for sure but it was never the black plague coof-o-caust the histronic fauci worshippers made it out to be unless you were of course fat or old.

Yeah I'd see your point if Trudeau wasn't meeting with the Queen without a mask almost 22 months into a global pandemic that's insanely deadly for the olds. Go fuck yourself.

Eta: yes I'm mad. Yes COVID is real. No it probably isn't an intentionally released bioweapon. It isn't deadly, not even remotely so, and 2 years on it is no different than a cold or flu. Did you wear a mask around your grandma for decades prior to this new virus? No? Well how does it make any fucking sense now? It doesn't without mental gymnastics.
 
Covid 19 is real, I don't know anyone who thinks otherwise, but there are places where Covid never became the problem it was in other parts of the world.

Where I live is remote and sparsely populated. The closest town has a population of a couple thousand. The percentage of people who got the shot is very low, and it's been rare to see anyone wear a mask since this whole thing started.

Quite a few people have tested positive for Covid but nobody died, and very few people got seriously ill from it after the first wave in 2020 hit and receded. We had no lockdowns and the schools opened as usual after the 2020 summer break.

Ask anyone on the street if we had a pandemic here, their answer would be no.
 
COVID "denialism" would not even exist on the scale it does if governments across the world did not blatantly use it as an opportunity to take more power for themselves and to give more money to pharmaceutical companies. As @Osmosis Jones said, Justin Trudeau doesn't even believe his own rhetoric because he selectively wears a mask only to keep his appearances. He wanted to give himself broader taxation and budgetary powers without parliamentary oversight and now has one of the most opaque and corrupt governments in Canadian history despite campaigning on transparency. Similarly, the legacy media in the United States attempted to build cults of personality around disgraced former New York governor Andrew Cuomo (who killed thousands by send COVID patents to nursing homes to spite Trump) and Anthony Fauci, who repeated the same rhetoric because they loved the adulation the public gave them.

COVID is real, but the ones pushing the exhausted narrative are complete fakes. They should just shut up and accept that it is now endemic and going nowhere--and no, I'm not getting a booster shot that Trudeau proved is effectively useless, twice. Assuming that he caught COVID and is not using it as an excuse to hide from Parliament.

It wasn’t the flu, it was a SARS virus and it’s killed millions
