The pandemic bad boys and girls are the heroes and vice versa. Jeffrey Tucker shouldn’t be surprised. From Tucker at The Epoch Times via zerohedge.com:
This is surely one of the strangest twists in official narratives in perhaps hundreds of years. The bad guys have been christened as the good guys, and the good guys have been purged, deplatformed, canceled, and demonized.
It’s a turn of events none of us could have imagined back in 2020. It cries out for an explanation. I truly fear knowing the answer as to why.
Just consider the fate of former New Zealand Prime Jacinda Ardern.

She locked down her country, trampling all rights of the people under the guise of controlling the spread of a virus. You could not go to church. You could not be unmasked. You could not leave the country and return. No one could travel there without official permission.
As bad as the United States and Europe were during this period, New Zealand was worse, and it was backed up by speech controls. Anyone protesting the policies was risking everything. And when the vaccine came along, Ardern outright said it: the people who get it will have rights but those who do not will not. It was a new biomedical caste system.
I can explain it, they are still lying. Stop saying these people were wrong about so many things. That statement assumes they didn’t know the truth but they did. They knowingly inflicted death and destruction to whoever believe their lies which I think is referred to as genocide. It has always been about power and control.
ahern is as ugly as she is tyrannical.
