Thinking back to February 28, 2020, and the New England Journal of Medicine. It published an article called “Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted” signed by Anthony S. Fauci (THE Fauci), Clifford Lane, and Robert R. Redfield. It reported an existing COVID-19 case fatality rate of 2% but further pointed out that infections show “a wide spectrum of disease severity.” (Snip) [I]t made the U.S Constitution and human rights generally null and void for a full thirty days. And we had no choice but to comply. It was a grotesque experiment in totalitarianism. (Snip) Now we know. Never again.

This should be the “must read” of the day.
The takeaway phrase is: never again.

My take away: string up politicians and journalists who pushed the panic from the lampposts

This is a dry run for when Democrats assume control of the government (Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches). Under the slightest pretext they will quarantine their citizens so that the citizenry is solely dependent upon the government for food, water and services. And once quarantined the Democrats will not lift it. Hunger games for All will be substituted for Medicare for All.

You all have to watch the video on youtube entitled Game over Fauci. It's only 12 mins. long. You need to see it and pass it on before they take it down. Trump is on top of this and they are sweating bullets. Trump says we are looking into this, talking about the $3 million plus given to Wuhan by Fauci during the Obama administration. When he says it, he looks over where Fauci is. Please check this out. It shows Dr. Fauci saying Trumps administration is going to face a pandemic in the near future, and what do you know, a pandemic breaks out. Right from where Dr. Fauci sent our taxpayer money, just where it could do the most damage to our fantastic economy.

It's always "never again" until the next time.
Americans are no less prone to hysteria today than they were weeks ago. The suckers believe government and science is sincere and acting in the public's best interests. The lesson is for those of critical mind to raise hell earlier, to stand up to the politicians and "get in their face". Even the "conservatives" among us were supportive of much done, including the infusion of $10 TRILLION and government cheese checks, the invocation of the Defense Production Act to effectively nationalize private business, even the deployment of national guard to enforce political edicts.

# 3 - my son and I have been saying this from the start. This is a dry run to see what works, what doesn't, and what to do to get total control. As long as Trump is in office, we can survive this. Once he's out, heaven help us.

'Game over Fauci' has already been taken down from YouTube as far as I can tell by searching their site. Not just by that title, but running down a string of scores of Fauci videos. It must have been the truth; otherwise it would still be up.

@7 - "Game over Fauci" video seems to have been buried by YouTube already. Would appreciate a link is possible.

What they've done is make another total shutdown almost impossible to implement. The tiny protests states are having now will be massive if they try and pull another stunt like this again. Especially if it's within a year. The Who's lyric "won't get fooled again" comes to mind.

We have the means to fight back and we should begin now. Our precedent will be stronger than the one they tried to set. Petty dictators are easy to topple if people stay together to resist their lunacy. It's Tea Party time once again.

The problem is, it wont be never again. They got away with it once so it will happen again, and sooner or later it will become permanent. They didn't let this crisis go to waste.

As others above have said and I have said before -
This was an intentional, planned and executed trial. Go ahead and call me a conspiracy theorist / crazy / believer etc., I don't care, conspiracies DO happen.
The timing of this entire mess has just been a bit too convenient.
Politicians at seemingly all levels and from every geographic area have pushed and advanced any and all ideas involving CONTROL over as many people as possible and implemented in any way possible REGARDLESS of legality or effectiveness !
People say it won't and can't be allowed to happen again. Good luck with that.
My prediction is that it - or something like it - COVID20 perhaps - WILL happen again and long about the beginning of fall this year. Just in time to delay or even eliminate elections !
Many will jump right on the band wagon again and THIS TIME the perps will know exactly how far the 'masses' can be pushed. .
Good Lord, how I hope I'm wrong but ........

Thanks for posting, OP.
Two months ago, our body politic was infected with multiple assumptions and predictions, many of which are proving false. However, our politicians respond to potential political risks far more quickly than they do to rational facts. As a result, our recovery from this self-inflicted trauma will only take place at the rate that politicians can safely advocate a return to normalcy without being publicly pilloried for every death that follows.
In the past, our Constitution acted as a kind of judicial immune system against invasive acts by authoritarian political leaders. The failure of the courts to perform that function in the midst of this is appalling. Where were the court orders telling governors to stand down? Why aren't the cops who enforced illegal edicts in prison? Since when do doctors tell citizens when, where, and how they can worship? My only hope is that, in the midst of this mess, enough of us have reacquired some of the individual immunities we once had to illegitimate authority.
We will find out in November.
