I consider myself a new pepe (joined in January this year), so to all those who have been awake for over a year, I'm curious what your reaction to the pandemic, lockdowns, etc. was as well as what other people online were saying at the time. Did it play a big part in confirming your beliefs?

I gave it the benefit of the doubt for the first couple of weeks and was helping friends and family get ahold of sanitizer/gloves/masks. But then the news wouldn't shut up about lines out the door at hospitals and clinics being overwhelmed as people were dying in the hallways waiting to be seen.
I work in an urgent care (which is ordinarily overwhelmed on a normal day), and despite management preparing for a huge influx of covid patients, we were a ghost town. So was the hospital next door. At which point, I realized we were being fucked with.
Ya the lie of hospitals being completely overrun was the first sign. Also the whole HQC situation, it’s very clearly a widely available drug that we already have that combats the virus. That should have been the end of it.
