It’s helpful to think of a Covid experience as a never-ending house of horrors, with room after room of scandal and outrage, so much so that you never quite get through it. There simply are not enough researchers or column inches to cover it all.
In the past, any one of these outrages would be enough to call forth enormous public debate. Introduce them all at once – starting March 2020 – and gradually unfold and codify them over a few years and many features slip through the cracks.
Consider, for example, the continued requirement that any legally immigrating person coming to the US from another country and seeking residency is absolutely required to get the Covid-19 vaccine, a shot widely admitted not to protect against infection or spread and is associated with injury on a scale without pharmaceutical precedent.
