Thanks to COVID, I will never trust our government again.
Not this one. Not the next one. Not the one after that. No matter who is in charge, no matter what party, no matter what face they put in front of a camera to reassure me.
Because we watched what they did.
We watched them lock people in their homes, destroy small businesses built over lifetimes, and call it safety. I watched them separate the dying from their families and call it compassion. I watched them inject fear into an entire population on a daily basis and call it public health.
We watched them mandate experimental injections under the threat of losing your job, your career, your ability to participate in society and call it a choice.
We watched them silence doctors who dissented. Destroy researchers who questioned. Humiliate and defame ordinary people who simply asked to see the data.
We watched them change definitions, manipulate statistics, move goalposts, and smile through every single contradiction while the media applauded and the critics were banned.
And when the harm became undeniable when the injured filled forums because the hospitals wouldn’t listen. I watched them look the other way, cover their tracks, and quietly rewrite the narrative before anyone could hold them to account.
Not one resignation. Not one apology. Not one moment of accountability.
Just silence, arrogance, and the quiet assumption that you would eventually forget.
I have not forgotten.
And I will never trust them again.
Thanks to Covid, I will never trust our government again, no matter who is in charge.
