A covet war on trust...


Trust in the individual has run out of time.

A covet war on trust is being waged by politicians who mandate the health status of the individual [see photo]. The beginning of this saga dates back to a time when the electorate began not to trust the politicians who they elect to represent them as law makers. A hidden aspect of this loss of trust is that most elected official no longer act as representatives of their legal electors but have become captive delegates of those who fund their election campaigns. Discover who funds your elected official and you will better understand the decisions they make and why they act the way they do.


Explicitly, politicians are waging an unrelenting war on the unvaccinated in their own domains [work, home, community, etc]. Such politicians are no longer held accountable, or responsible, for their deliberate actions in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The slippery slope that led to this outcome began when the politicians lost the trust of individual voters [this happened long before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic]. Knowing they no longer hold the trust of their electors the politicians addressed the Covid-19 pandemic by entrusting their decision-making processes to unelected health officials. Thus we saw a clear demonstration of group think as these globally linked health officials decided to fight the Covid-19 virus rather than to safeguard the health status, and care, of individual citizens. The exception that proves the rule is that a few jurisdictions [including Taiwan, South Korea, Sweden, etc] decided to protect the most vulnerable and let the remainder of society get on with their lives [wear masks, social distance, self-isolate, etc].


A key reason public health administrators do not treat the Covid-19 pandemic like a bad Flu outbreak is that they do not trust individuals to make their own health care decisions. These actors instigated a covet war on trust of individuals that persists today. Given that public heath officials refused to trust individuals with their own health decisions they were forced [I guess] to mandate health rules that unnecessarily restrict the freedoms of everyone. In an act moronic stupidity, this public policy strategy funnelled patients into hospitals when home-based isolation [to protect other members of that household not random others moving around their community] was likely a far better fit with the existing healthcare system.


Today we live in a world where trust in the individual has run out of time.
