The 'pandemic' revealed that 85% of the public are not what they seem. Five years later, everything looks sort-of back to normal, but 15% of us feel like we're living in a kind of theme park.
"I was taken in and feel embarrassed about it. I refuse to accept that the people who did see through it could possibly have known, because I didn't have a clue."

Yes, some areas were at 25 deg C, others at 22. In some the sun was out, in others it was slightly cloudy. The extremeness of these variations was extreme.
True, as I look out on a sunny, slightly warm morning in Europe in late June, the runaway climate change is all too obvious. Where will it end? A breeze perhaps? Some apocalyptic drizzle? Really, it's my biggest worry.
Is there a single report where they haven't used the phrase 'convicted felon'?
"But it's a fact isn't it? Are you against facts?"

My wife & I have been discussing where to go on holiday this summer and simply crossed Wales off the list. The green virtue signalling will be a constant irritant and we have other choices.
Science works by fixing or eliminating variables; reducing the number of dimensions to help study a single dimension.
Therefore scientists are the worst people you could employ to solve real-world problems where all the dimensions are still in play -such as setting public policy.
So maybe it's true. The elites have selected the most intelligent to survive i.e. the independent-minded, critical thinkers who refused the 'offer'. They are probably the least useless eaters after all...
Objectively, a huge amount of harm. But in terms of damage to societal cohesion, trust in science, politics, the authorities' moral standing, the damage is huge, catastrophic, incalculable.
