Covid Taught Americans To Stop Trusting A Government That Puts Them Last:

The reaction to Covid showed Americans the system wasn’t going to save them. They were going to have to do it themselves.

When Donald Trump first sailed into the Oval Office, his detractors shrieked that his blunt rhetoric was dividing the country. His supporters pointed out that Trump wasn’t so much creating division as he was revealing divisions that had been growing in America for a long time.

The reaction to the novel Wuhan coronavirus did the country a similar service, by revealing a new fault line: two sets of rules, which were applied differently to Americans depending on their membership in certain political cliques. For the average American who assumed his political leaders still shared the belief that all men are created equal, it was a cruel betrayal.

Coronavirus lockdowns alerted Americans to an uncomfortable reality: the institutions to which they’d entrusted their liberties were no longer trustworthy. If the 2024 election is any indication, they got the message.

In the Covid times, hardworking people were deemed “nonessential” and lost their jobs while watching Tony Fauci’s net worth climb. They were banished from church while thousands gathered in the street to worship George Floyd. They watched their kids fall behind in school while Nancy Pelosi and Lori Lightfoot broke the rules to get their split ends trimmed. Their dying loved ones left this world alone, while Obama danced with Hollywood stars at his 60th birthday bash. To add further insult, those loved ones were denied proper funerals, while 10,000 people gathered to eulogize a drug-addicted criminal in a gold casket on television. Only some Americans were authorized to print their opinions online, while others were punished and censored.

The delusion that we were “all in this together” didn’t survive for long. A certain set of rules applied to the BLM protesters, the Democrat politicians, and the Hollywood elites, and another set of rules applied to everyone else. Americans started to realize they were being had.

When Covid vaccine mandates rolled out, the dichotomy was even clearer. For the vaccinated class, there were jobs, service academy appointments, college acceptances, and social acceptance. For the unvaccinated, there was talk of denying them entry to airplanes, restaurants, and stores, or even putting them into camps. --->READ MORE HERE

To Die Alone: Never Forget What The Lockdowners Did To Us

Of all the terrible things the power-drunk unelected bureaucrats did to us, forcing people to die alone was the most inhumane.

In March 2020, my aunt collapsed with a painful headache and was rushed to the hospital. We would soon learn that the headache was symptomatic of an aggressive form of brain cancer that no surgery or treatment could cure. Within six weeks we buried my beloved aunt and godmother.

Her death was swift and devastating, made all the more painful by the draconian “stay at home” orders that the state of Illinois issued. The blue state, led by the far-left Gov. J.B. Pritzker, was not alone. Lockdown madness was sweeping the nation. Among its first victims were people like my uncle, my cousins, my family — all locked out from seeing our dying loved one in the opening days of her hospitalization. My aunt’s husband of 60 years couldn’t even be at her bedside.

We ultimately were among the fortunate ones. My aunt’s prognosis was so bleak that her healthcare providers released her to die at home. Thank God for this miracle in a desperate time. We got to say goodbye. My aunt was surrounded by family, friends, and love while she drifted from this world — at times in violation of Pritzker’s edict.

So many Americans weren’t so blessed.

‘To Die Alone’

“We’re approaching 1 million U.S. deaths from COVID-19, but the numbers can’t capture how these deaths occur: alone. Patients take their last breaths amid the alarms of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), without their families,” wrote Helen T. D’Couto, who in 2022 was an attending physician in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Georgetown University Hospital when she wrote a powerful column detailing her heart-breaking experiences during Covid and its accompanying irrational — and unscientific — lockdowns.

“This near-universal policy of forced isolation in the ICU is not conclusively supported by data and is clearly traumatic to patients, their families, and clinicians like me caring for the dying in the ICU,” D’Couto stressed in the column, headlined, “Forcing my Covid patients to die alone is inhumane — and unnecessary.” The piece was published on March 7, 2022, about two years after a Rockford, Ill., hospital locked out my uncle from seeing his dying wife.

It’s hard to believe we’re now five years from the beginning of all of that madness.

Of all the terrible things the “experts,” the groupthink scientists, the power-drunk unelected bureaucrats, and the evil politicians did to us in that unconscionable lockdown of our liberties, forcing people to die alone was the most inhumane. --->READ MORE HERE
