Public Health officials have too much power, and fear grips the minds of citizens. As a Mayor, how would you go against masks, lockdowns, and the vax without coming across as the "Qanon conspiracy quack" ?
My thought is to find very short and credible pieces of true science and start an info campaign well ahead of the next plandemic. But I would want to have a different group disseminate it. Then I can facilitate an intelligent discussion that empowers the people.
Other suggestions? Stealth ideas? Specific pieces of info you suggest using?
In general, this exercise/hypothetical could be good for any of us who are in elected positions (I am not... yet). I value your insights.
I know a bunch of people that don't "buy" into Q.
Still they are done with masks. They are tired of the BS. They saw the nonsense that made no sense. They know that a mask cannot stop a virus.
If there is another fear push about covid they will not comply or at the very least will speak out against the narritive. Enough like that and the narritive will not hold.
I suspect that if there is another pandemic fear push it will not be covid. It will be something more scary.
