I was one of them. Can you believe how crazy everything was?

No haircuts? Police ordering people to social distance? What was everyone thinking???

I don't know anyone who denies there was a pandemic.

What many people question is how the government responded to it with unnecessary shutdowns, restrictions and mandates.

Yes. This should not have to be clarified over and over.

At this point, I believe the covidians are being willfully ignorant.

There is profits and then there is gouging. Like the example of that idiot who charged an exuberant amount on epi pens. Right now the haves n have nots are really polarizing into points of no return. Some folks are not going to be able to recoup. Many retirees are worried, those who work on the lower end of the financial spectrum are on the edge of the cliff.

How much profit is acceptable before all of the sudden you call it gouging?

That “idiot” who charged so much for epi pens was able to do so because the fed govt protected him.

So I guess it was government reaction that gave 86M Americans Covid and killed over a million of them.

You are the problem.
The liberal administration and liberal media is the problem. Everyone I know was mad at the government during Covid for what they were doing but thanks to the bought and paid for liberal media they only reported what they wanted the people to hear and did not report how the people felt.
