Summer surge of COVID-19

If you have been struggling with a summer cold, it may be COVID-19. Since the pandemic public health emergency ended three months ago, hospitalizations are once again increasing.

Just a few short years ago, when the response to the pandemic brought the world to a standstill. Businesses were closed, people were arrested and beaten up for resisting the lockdowns. Many lost their jobs, numerous others were forced to undergo medical procedures they had good reason to object to.

People were subject to arrest for kayaking, surfing, walking in the woods alone during lockdowns. New Zealand fined people for driving into other cities for KFC. Australia locked people up in quarantine facilities. Many otherwise normal people lost their minds supporting these draconian laws, opting instead to censor and cancel anyone who would speak out against it.

In Canada, truck drivers were brutalized, unpersoned, had their business licenses taken away and their bank accounts frozen. In many European countries, the elderly were fined for refusing to take the jab. In Australia, people were brutalized by the police for not masking up in public. In the Netherlands, police sicced their K9 units on peaceful protesters.

And all the while this was happening, BLM protesters burned American neighborhoods to the ground while politicians like Kamala Harris supported bail funds for these terrorists. Antifa took over an entire neighborhood in Seattle, turning it into a free-for-all police-free zone where crime, including rapes, were rampant. Several people, including minors, were killed. Those living in the neighborhood were displaced, their businesses never to recover.

Countless were censored and canceled as conspiracy theorists for even questioning the efficacy of the lockdowns, of mask mandates, of the vaccines. Many today still are. You can't have these kinds of conversations on YouTube, on TikTok, on Facebook or Instagram. You can only have these conversations on Twitter.

Children were pulled out of schools to be taught via Zoom, their socialization brought to a standstill. The effects of their lack of cognitive development will have long-term consequences. The only silver lining was that parents were now made privy to what their kids were learning in classrooms, from teachers grooming them with gender ideology and critical race theory.

Even still, society didn't need to be locked down. And the medical workers who demanded respect for their efforts in hospitals were treated, at least for awhile, as heroes -- frontline workers deserving of respect. Trust the science. That is until many of them refused to go through with the vaccine mandate. Then they too, like everyone else who resisted, was discarded.
