It is refreshing to see normally mild-mannered Ron Paul express his abject disgust, and of course the object of that disgust is quite deserving. From Paul at ronpaulinstitutue.org:
Last week President Biden addressed the nation on the first anniversary of the coronavirus being declared a “pandemic.” It was a disturbing speech, warning us that the “hopeful spring” will only emerge “from a dark winter” if all Americans “stick with the rules.”
Whose rules? His rules.
The message from the president was clear: he will only allow us to have some of our freedoms back if we do exactly as he tells us. It was the language of extortion, of a bank robber who demands you do what he says or face the consequences. It was not the language of someone we are told is the leader of the free world.
In the speech Biden laid out a list of what was taken from us over the past year, “weddings, birthdays, graduations…family reunions, the Sunday night rituals.” It was as if somehow the virus, instead of authoritarian government officials, prevented us from enjoying these normal human activities.
Though we continue to see Covid disappear across the country with the end of the winter season, Biden was not about to let go of his perceived power to control our lives. He said, “if we do all this, if we do our part, if we do this together, by July the 4, there’s a good chance you, your families and friends, will be able to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout or a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day. That doesn’t mean large events with lots of people together, but it does mean small groups will be able to get together.”
STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
Our medical science is good but probably not capable of bringing about “Zero Covid”. While ignoring that zero Covid is not possible the politicos have forced wholesale lockdowns on the basis of a few hospitalisations and a larger number of dubious tests. Their justification that any Covid justifies lockdowns. It is not even clear that the Covid vaccinations will eliminate Covid (unlike the elimination of smallpox). But what if the vaccinations did eliminate Covid? The political class would lose their excuse for lockdowns and the other draconian controls eliminating citizens rights. Supposing this is what they really want – a licence to totally monitor and control entire populations, then they wouldn’t want the vaccines to work as this would remove their excuse. So what is the point of taking an ineffective vaccine (which might cause damage)?
