The answer is simple really – fear. Govts used fear to make people compliant.

And what about excess deaths? Why is no one interested in seriously investigating this?

I think the whole covid issue showed us a few things. One, it showed us just how corrupt, dishonest, and authoritarian the governments were, and also it showed us how fearful people have a sort of consensus filter where rather than asking “is this true?” they ask “is this safe to think and say?”. So, we found out that consensus could be manufactured, from above. If on every screen people saw the same thing was repeated over and over again, they simply believe it to be so. Because it’s safest to belong to the majority tribe, and the impression is that the argument is over, this is the right position, and anyone who says otherwise is dangerous, misinforming people, evil, needing to be stopped, censored, etc.

And this is why I condemned government overreach during the COVID-scare. Functional governments quell panic by presenting factual evidence to their populations. Instead politicians colluded with experts and journalists to spread fear and hatred toward those who objected to enforced vaccination and lockdown mandates.

Yes, many “COVID deaths” were, in a technical sense, caused by other factors such as pneumonia, cancer, gunshot wounds, or goats, but in a deeper, more transcendent sense, they were caused by COVID.
