Remember Asia in general still has a mask mandate that is not expected to end any time soon and could be extended like what Hitler did with the enabling act.
Heck, all the focus against vaccines can be easily used and taken advantage of to justify the coming of "1 month" lockdowns that WILL last for more than a decade and you somehow had to mask inside your home while availability of food wholly depends if your local sheriff/governor/government is a soy-eating femboy clown or a favorite-playing busybody.
So why are all the talk about masks and lockdowns inexplicably vanishing while attention is unanimously piled upon the vaccines? I am not saying the vaccines are not dangerous but we're definitely missing something.
It's becoming increasingly clear that, in America, they've failed. The narrative has fallen apart and people just don't care about covid anymore. Many people still comply with the impositions, but no one is screeching about them like they did last year.
I think they will continue trying to demolish everything still standing in western society so they can "build back better." They might pivot away from pandemic tactics and try to start a war between US and China, which would be disastrous.
Apathy wins the day?
