As technically a doctor (I don't work in this job) I must say, that it's a bad idea, mostly because of making anti-vaxxers even more enraged. At the moment I am abosolutely pro-vax, because from knowledge of me and my two friends I discussed this matter with (a working doctor and a nurse for the lack of better word) and more importantly from our colleagues seems to be perfectly safe, some of the vaccines recently got fully approved, so case closed as far as anyone asks me

I would encourage anyone who believes the state propaganda on this hoax to go ahead and get as many substance injections as they can.

Does that mean all governments - Western countries, Russia, Iran and China really finally agree on anything? If the covid thing were a "hoax", why would they develop their own vaccines for their citizens?

If one brand of soda (coke, pop, etc) exists in the world, why create another?

Well but they're all doing their own research into this and came up with their own solutions... I find it hard to believe it would all be a global conspiracy of nations that are usually naturally mistrusting each other.

We can assume everything 'state propaganda' has said is truth and it will still leave us with censhorship and wannabe fascsits going full speed in goverments in many, many countries.

And I dont think its conspiracy. Thing is, 'Do what we say or else' is kind of message with which most of goverments would agree 😅

That's true, crises like this are a perfect opportunity for governments to do whatever they want, whether that's shady business dealings regarding masks/respirators like we've seen last year or curbing citizen freedoms.

But personally at least here in Czechia I don't see any inherently evil intents so far when it comes to our freedoms, you may disagree with some of it, but if you have a global pandemic on your hands, what are you supposed to do if you want to contain it?

Maybe if vaccinations become mandatory I'd change my mind, so far I see just incompetence and various desperate attempts by the government.

I think at this point its pretty clear you can't contain the pandemic. And there always si some crisis which absolutelly has to be contained and for which gov needs power, power and more power.

And you are in EU. Whic already declared its intention to 'fight desinformation', ban encryption and creating its own authoritative news sources while pressuring advertisers to drop those EU doesnt like.

As for Slovakia, we already technicaly had goverment declaring itself to be undissolvable after oposition got enough signatures to start the referendum. At this point, I dont really expect our head clown to show up in black uniform with red stripes showing everyone he was in fact master planner. But I wouldnt be too suprised by it 😁

Matovič. He may be the best living-talking example of Hanlon's razor I've seen in recent years.
