How Covid Changed My Life

The hopelessness of reclaiming our rights and liberty in this country suddenly became obvious and undeniable to me...

A Facebook friend recently shared a “memory” post from two years ago, which prompted me to write the following article.

But first, the post (and keep in mind, this was written TWO YEARS ago, and much, much more has been revealed since):

When I read this, I was compelled to express my feelings about the entire covid scenario:

“As for me, when the first cases of covid emerged in the US and people started getting scared, I went online and researched it, and found that there was apparently nothing to be scared of (at least to no more extent than the seasonal flu).

Shortly thereafter, the closures and lockdowns started. I vacillated between being outraged, and being almost numb, the surrealness of it all.

(Regardless of anyone’s beliefs about covid, my position was that these aren’t their decisions to make).

It wasn’t until late 2020 that a wise older gentleman (working at Home Depot, no less) pointed out the correlation with the upcoming election that I finally understood the true motive behind it all (at least here in the US).

And, it changed my life. Not covid per se (though I did eventually contract it, and was very ill for several weeks)…not even the global authoritarian lockdowns and other mandates, lawful or unlawful…rather, the largely unchallenging compliance of the American people, even while suffering massive loss in their lives due to the tyrannical overreach.

[Addendum: After all, this is precisely what the 2nd Amendment was intended to remedy: to keep the politicians in check when the law doesn’t…but I digress…]

The hopelessness of reclaiming our rights and liberty in this country suddenly became obvious and undeniable to me; up until that point, I’d spent 25+ years working toward that hope, especially with the advent of the internet and social media.

But no more; now I spend the bulk of that time and energy on other, more attainable goals.

And that’s how covid changed my life.”

UPDATE Jan 20 2024: As I recently posted: it’s inspiring to see humanity finally waking up…

UPDATE Sept 15 2024: I had another friend share a very salient post recently about his position/actions during the insanity, which again prompted me to share and comment:

To which I added (at the risk of redundancy, and keeping in mind that when speaking truth on social media, one must be creatively cryptic):

“Back when the unique strain of flu was first reported in the US, I jumped online and researched it, and my fears were quickly assuaged, learning that it was just a flu, warranting no more level of concern than the seasonal flu.

And then, next thing I know, the insanity hit…the lockdowns, the baseless mandates, the pointlessness of it all. I was incensed, vacillating between being outraged, and being almost numb, the surrealness of it all.

But for me, probably the biggest frustration of all was the unchallenging compliance. In fact, I wrote an article on Insights about it: “How C*V*D Changed My Life”. (In fact, I’ve since published several articles about what happened, just use the keyword in the search window, they’ll all come up.)

And all this, not to even mention the fraudulent “preventative” forced on so many, and the abhorrent damage and consequences thereof.

On the other hand, there WERE a few other outliers out there bucking the narrative, like my friend [****], whose post this morning I felt compelled to share.

And the number of the awakened has been growing since, as more and more of the truth continues to emerge.

Hopefully, that’s a good thing…perhaps a lesson—a very important lesson—was learned…

Let’s not ever forget it.”
