In George Orwell’s 1984, the Ministries of Oceania are satirically responsible for perpetuating the exact opposite of what they purport. Likewise, every aspect of the COVID pandemic response has facilitated the opposite of that for which it was supposedly intended.

2/ Ventilators, supposedly meant to save patients near death, actually killed them. https://dossier.substack.com/p/first-choice-how-china-and-the-who
3/ Masks, supposedly mandated to relieve the public’s anxiety, actually sowed it. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/04/commentary-masks-all-covid-19-not-based-sound-data
4/ Mass PCR testing, declared early on by "experts' as necessary to "reopen" the economy, have in fact been the key to creating the endless casedemic necessary to keep the economy closed. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/coronavirus-testing-must-double-or-triple-u-s-can-safely-n1185881
5/ Anti-lockdown activists fighting for human rights were early on pegged as “neo-nazis.” https://apnews.com/article/8845710091
6/ Herd immunity—the inevitable scientific endpoint of every epidemic—was alleged to be a violation of human rights; ironic, given that lockdowns are, literally, a blanket suspension of all rights. https://twitter.com/HuXijin_GT/status/1238864397713305600
7/ Stopping the economy was supposed to save it, but actually did nothing but destroy it. https://fortune.com/2020/09/28/covid-buisnesses-shut-down-closed/
8/ Social distancing, supposedly meant to prevent contagion and protect the elderly, actually caused contagion and killed the elderly through increased stress, isolation, lack of light and exercise, and the delay of herd immunity. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/hidden-covid-19-health-crisis-elderly-people-are-dying-isolation-n1244853

10/ Lockdowns, supposedly intended to prevent epidemics of deadly disease, have actually caused several epidemics of other deadly diseases. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/03/health/coronavirus-tuberculosis-aids-malaria.html
11/ The “novel” nature of the coronavirus supposedly meant that it could spread asymptomatically and rendered t-cells, seasonality, and prior immunity irrelevant, but we now know that it responds to all of those things in the same way as any other virus. https://www.aier.org/article/when-will-the-madness-end/
12/ And censorship, supposedly necessary to prevent scientific “misinformation,” actually served to prevent the public from learning that none of these policies were based on any existing science at all. https://twitter.com/MichaelPSenger/status/1355568740071473155
13/ Which does makes one wonder—without necessarily arguing for or against vaccination—given every step of the COVID response has done the opposite of what was advertised, why exactly DO they want us to take these little-tested mRNA vaccines so badly?
