When our loved ones were dying and we weren't even allowed to attend our closest family member's funeral, the politicians were partying, then they lied about it. Then they lied about lying. Unacceptable.
We've made enough noise, making it clear that we don't trust our own government. And yet, nothing will ever be enough for many because what has happened is not only unforgivable but irreversible. I'm so sorry for the people who lost their loved ones. Their entire lives are ruined because of it, is not an overstatement.
I see it in a different way though, and I'm still puzzled.
Remember May 2020? That was the time nothing was certain about Covid.
You may catch it by touching a doorknob. Wearing a mask was considered to be a bad idea, then it became a good idea. Nothing was scientifically proven yet. The symptoms could be mild, but also deadly.
Those who are in older age groups including myself were pretty scared. I mean seriously, people were dying like cockroaches. We saw all that on TV daily - the essential workers were dying. Simply going to public places could be a fatal mistake. Unless you were in your thirties or younger.
I wouldn't have attended any kind of party even if I was paid for it. Not because it would have been wrong, but because of my own safety. Having a party would be like going sightseeing in a warzone.
But those politicians knew that parties wouldn't kill them, while we believed that touching any entrance door could be a risk. So what did they know that we didn't know?
I don't believe everything they say. But I don't believe a conspiracy theory while it's generally considered to be a conspiracy theory, either. With that said, most of the politicians who were partying were middle-aged. They weren't "scared" of the then-unknown possibly a deadly virus. Then what did they know? Or have?
In other words, was there a secret about Covid that we don't know? Were these politicians especially immune to it in a way that we don't know?
