In case you haven’t yet deduced that simple fact from the evidence of the past 9 months, you’re never going to get a normal life back unless you make a concerted effort to take it back. First it was “wait two weeks”, then “flatten the curve”, then “wear a mask”, and then “wait for a vaccine”. Despite the ever-moving goalposts, many sincerely believed that the arrival of a vaccine would signal the end of the tyranny. Well, the vaccine is here and no, it hasn’t. Now we’re told that lockdowns and masks are here to stay, at least in the blue states. COVID-19 has become an enormous industry, one built upon mass testing and mask wearing. The testing provides a rationale for unending power grabs, and the masks are an irritating and dangerous reminder that COVID-19 even exists, something we wouldn’t notice without our government constantly reminding us.
A return to normal means a complete dismantling of the COVID industry that has sprung up. It means putting COVID-19 permanently in the rear-view mirror, and looking at it the same way we look and talk about SARS or the swine flu. Freedom and COVID hysteria cannot co-exist.
