Oh yeah, the lack of proper testing and abandoning the Scientific Method were also red flags. I well remember seeing people lined up, 6 ft apart, at various pharmacies, and sometimes lined up in their cars in large parking lots, where they and their kids could get the jabs... obediently, like people preparing to get into the cattle cars for for the death camps.

It was all so.... surreal.

One of the most outstanding memories of that time concerned a doctor I know who worked at a local hospital. At the time I was taking my wife for treatments at that hospital. He said, in a meeting I was involved in outside of the hospital, that the hospital was overflowing with "covid patients"... and I knew that was an outright lie. I took my wife there 4 times a week for her treatments, and it was more or less "business as usual"... no patients sleeping on gurneys in the hallways, there was ample parking in the parking garage and lots. The ONLY difference I noted was that everyone was in masks and no one spoke to each other.

I lost all respect for that fool of a doctor to this very day.
