The graphs of how the covid infection spread, the death rate, and recovery of every nation on this planet where covid data was readily available and reported, whether that nation did nothing at all or went into full mandatory vax and lockdown/tyranny mode, are almost all identical.

Doing NOTHING was the least harmful course of action, as all the drastic measures taken had little if any impact at all on the spread of the virus but impacted the populations of those shutdown nations tremendously across all aspects of that society.

But they're all calling themselves 'heroes".

Fucking hell. They did it for power and money. If there wasn't anything to gain from doing so, all the tyrants making their grab for power wouldn't have cared one bit about covid.
