It is not daddy government's job to protect me from a virus. Even if it was the black plague, top down mandates on where we can go and what we can do will be nothing more than a power grab.
I suspected literally Day 1. I at the time allowed for me potentially being wrong, but I certainly strongly suspected it was bullshit, and was quite vocal about it very early.
But to open everything up and allow a mostly unknown disease to spread would have collapsed the economy anyway. People would have stayed home out of fear.
The sheer number of infected would have made the death rate look higher than it actually was.
Allowing the government to do things like lock downs "because of an emergency" just creates imperative for them to create another "emergency" in the future. You can't allow the government something so easily abused, especially when it's not even the government's job in the first place.
People only thought it was a "death sentence" because the government and the media did everything they could to make it look like one. It's why they forced old folks homes to take in residents that tested positive. It's also why they counted anyone who might've had the wuhan flu as a death caused by it, even if the cause of death was something completely unrelated, like a car crash.
"But, those businesses will lose money from opening with no customers and being forced to pay expenses as normal."
This take is completely backwards. The lock downs did far more harm to businesses than ending them. Their expenses didn't go away with the customers when they were forced to shut down.
Opening up in April, when nobody knew anything about the disease, would have been a mistake that fully entrenched the fear of Covid.
It was right to wait for a few weeks of data that proved it was harmless.

Most of us knew it was a scam day 1. Lockdowns and the clot shots were intentional to weaken the US.
It wasn't so clear cut as that. April, May sure. But day 1? Come on
Yeah it was. Only old people died in Italy. Only a few old people die on the cruise ship. Chinese videos were clearly fake.
Easy to say with hindsight!

But you could tell the media loved hyping up covid even back then.

At the very least once he saw the cdc encourage rioters and looting he should’ve called out the hypocrisy

This boot licking right here is why we broke away from your empire. Get fucked Redcoat.
Advisor 1 : "There's an unknown virus that everyone thinks is a death sentence"
You : "Open everything."
Advisor 2 : "But, those businesses will lose money from opening with no customers and being forced to pay expenses as normal."
You : "Don't care. Open everything"
