"They" are democrats, the media, progressives, liberals, communists and anyone else with the intent to destroy our great country.

I'll start by saying that no one denies that COVID is real and can be deadly to some. Only a fool would try to say it wasn't. I personally know lots of folks who have had the virus and some who have died. It's tragic. It's the hype and the politics with the COVID that raises a lot of questions.

There's a lot of really strange things with the COVID Virus that we've never seen before. First, why is it referred to as the Corona or COVID virus instead of the Corona or COVID flu? Every other pandemic in the last century has been a flu. For instance, the Spanish Flu of 1818 that killed millions was called Flu. The Bird Flu of the late nineties that killed hundreds of thousands, called Flu. The Swine Flu 2009 that killed hundreds of thousands, called the Flu. Why call this one VIRUS? Maybe that makes it sound scarier or more ominous to create more fear among the public?

How else can "They" cause even more fear? How about flashing the infection and death rates on every news outlet 24/7 even if everyone knows those numbers are highly inflated? That's worked great. What else, maybe force or coerce everyone to wear masks? For sure, that's had a great psychological effect on everyone, when there's absolutely no evidence that most masks do nothing to stop the spread. If masks work, the mask mandates would solve the problem right? There shouldn't be hardly any infections in Knox County, they have a mask mandate, or for that matter, California and New York, they have the mask mandate and near full lockdowns in those states so there should be no cases at all, right? If masks work, why are so many people still getting COVID? Everywhere I go, seems that 90% of the folks have their masks on. So how are people still getting it? We all know those people who take every precaution, always wear their masks and rarely go out in public, yet they still caught the COVID.  How can this be. Why aren't all us naked faced people already dead?

How can "They" convince everyone they may be infected? "They" have now made every symptom know for every disease, a symptom of COVID and tell us that the after effects of COVID might last for years. 

More fear tactics? Tell the general public, even if you're not sick or showing symptoms, you really need to get tested. Just here in Loudon County, thousands have tested positive yet no symptoms and no sickness. Then we hear about all the false positives and false negatives. What can anyone believe? The lines at the county health department have been unreal, cars backed up for blocks all day, every day. The inference is if you get the COVID, you're going to die, when the facts are, your chance of surviving COVID is over 99%.

If the virus is so deadly, why haven't the homeless populations been completely wiped out? If it's so easily passed around, why aren't "they" warning us not to handle money, the nastiest product most of us will ever touch. Why didn't all the Black Lives Matter and ANTEFA protesters catch the virus and die? 

What else can "They" do to scare people to death? How bout tell us that everyone that has died since March, died of COVID? That's what "They" would have us to believe. The CDC itself released a statement that 94% of the deaths attributed to COVID were actually deaths from other causes. "They" didn't like that. We know from the CDC that the death rate this year from heart disease, cancer, pneumonia and common flu are down dramatically year over year. That's due to the fact that nearly all deaths are being reported as COVID related and why not, hospitals get lots more money if a patient tests positive for COVID. Heck, nobody is even dying from vaping now. Before the pandemic "They" said all us vapers were going to die.

"They" still need more fear, what else? Tell people they shouldn't go to church, they can't hold funerals for their loved ones, unless you're an important member of government, can't be in the hospitals with sick loved ones, don't go shopping, don't have more than 6 people for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Don't sing Happy Birthday to people, yes, it's gotten that ridiculous but it helps scare the population. "They" even say we have to cancel Christmas. There are no limits to these people. Yet, how many times have we seen where "They" don't even follow their own mandates? Do as I say, not as I do kind of thing. 

Does anyone believe "They" will give up the new found power over the people "They" have taken since the outbreak? No way. The head "They", Dr. Fauchi, has already said, even with the vaccine, all the safety protocols, masks, shutdowns, social distancing will have to continue through 2021. Now, in the news, "They" are reporting a new mutant strain of the virus has been found in Europe. This is never going to end.

Does anyone believe "They" didn't use the virus to change the "outcome of the presidential election and that "They" won't do it again?

This virus has everything "They" can use to cause the greatest fear in the mass of the population making sure "They" maintain control over all of us, through fear, for years to come. By all means, the cure is far worse than the disease. "They" tell us we can go back to normal when it's safe. When it's safe means never.    

I do not fear COVID, I do however fear a tyrannical government determined to control my life.

I may get the COVID tomorrow and be dead by Friday but I'd rather die free than live as a slave to fear.
