    Epidemiological experts said it would become endemic eventually no matter what we did while simultaneously saying that we should have rigorous control measures in place. Those two statements are not contradictory

      no matter what we did

      And there we go. “It’s going to become endemic no matter what” as an excuse to do nothing.

          While simultaneously spreading the lie that was used to justify (and is still being used to justify) inaction.

          We could have prevented the situation we are in now.
          We collectively chose to actively make things worse and the lies you are spreading were the exact ones used to justify that course of active inaction.

            Epidemiological facts are not lies. How people react and what they choose to do with those facts doesn’t change the facts

              The fact is we could have stopped this with enough political will, we chose not to.

              The choice to do this was defended using the same words you are regurgitating now.
              You should stop.

                    Why do you not believe the experts who said we should do everything we could to control Covid and that even if we did everything we could to control Covid, it would eventually become an endemic infection. What part of that is difficult to understand?

                    I am not an antivaxxer. I completely supported quarantines. Facts about how pandemics work are still facts.
