> I am so tired of this bullshit, it's so damn tiring. Everything feels, just so very useless, its just sad to see how much this thing has effected everyone… I agree. Regardless of your beliefs about the pandemic and how it’s been handled, everyone is sick of this shit. > governments and organizations like the WHO are not telling us exactly what's going on, they change the narrative everyday, apparently its a lab leak This is because they don’t know. Maybe the Chinese government knows the truth. And maybe they’re telling the truth. But no one else actually knows and so it’s all educated (at best) guesswork and the media prints anything sensational for clicks. > Apparently the people concerned about governments using this opportunity to grab more power to keep us all in order are crazy antivaxers, the moment you step out of line you become a "non believer" in science I remain unclear what exact power governments are getting from this. They’re spending hundreds of billions on vaccines and tests. What are they actually gaining? My impression is that governments are for the most part doing the best they can against a disease we don’t have good tools to fight. The best bet was social distancing until everyone could get vaccinated. Then it turned out that 1) tons of people are refusing the vaccines, and 2) no one ever really addressed the fact that the entire world needs the vaccine, not just wealthy nations. This is why we are stuck in this shitty state of bouncing between open and locked down to the constant drumbeat of “please get vaccinated”. No one knows what else to do because the alternative of “fuck it” is also not a solution, at least not if you care about minimizing the death toll from this thing.
