Technically, the state of the pandemic has been going on for over 3 years, even though no 1 has enjoyed the subject for more than a year. The nation, not for the first time, has "failed the trust" of pharmaceutical companies and politicians and the media acting in their interests, and does not want to be vaccinated and adhere to "pandemic rigors".
In order to get out of this situation (although the virus is inactive raging), individual has announced since the beginning of July 2023 the end of a pandemic that no 1 believes in anymore. Contrary to media propaganda, the first sober assessments of 3 years of controlled absurdity ("covid operation"), which cost hundreds of billions of unnecessarily spent zlotys, at least twice as much failure in the form of lost income and depreciation of the value of assets and respective tens of thousands of alleged excess deaths, are already emerging.
From the beginning I claim (I didn't gotta change my head over the 3 years – it can be verified) that the majority (if not all) of the costly rigors and restrictions introduced at the time did not make any sense, and the losses incurred were completely unnecessary. The closure of hotels and restaurants had (to which the creators of this ban admitted) to limit... The movement of the population and the ‘medical reason’ (the increased ‘virus transmission’) were simply false. The suspicions go further: the bans were introduced erstwhile a state hotel holding was established, which was expected to buy down private companies from the industry, which were expected to have fallen by lockdown.
There will come a time when, contrary to lobbying of the pandemic beneficiaries, we will not only calculate the actual costs of the "covid operation", but we will besides learn the hidden reasons for the "good luck" of this operation, which has impoverished tens of millions of people and put at hazard the suffering and death of tens of thousands of people who at the time dared to have another ailments than the "head disease". There will be time for that.
Today we know 1 thing: our political class failed to pass this exam: cities argue about the meaning (or fundamentally nonsense) of submission to lobbying by stakeholders, bidding in support of the introduction of ever-increasing sharpening. No reflection, no deficiency of common sense, no courage and even a façade of concern for the welfare of our citizens. The mindless imitation of what others do ("we can't do otherwise than in the West") and possibly besides act in bad religion (because we don't know whether sponsors and beneficiaries of the "covid operation" besides reached the AntiPiSu – they most likely got there) and with their aid they turned the atmosphere of "common threat".
It turns out that democracy is besides an absurd and even stupid way of governing as the most rabid satraps. What was the political class in? Only in the introduction of further unlawful "pandemic bans", and the respect of politicians for constitutional rights and civilian liberties was (and is) worshipful talk, including those who wave the Constitution all day. I can only add to the consolation that the "covid operation" was triumphant besides in another "democratic" countries. But I don't care much: if individual wants to hurt themselves, do it, just as far distant from our borders as possible.
The political class's compromise went hand in hand with the fall of media credibility, which censored or even fought against any common sense statement, blackmailing unsubsidiary propaganda with "responsibility for mass deaths" as a consequence of "laxing" any nonsense bans. Unfortunately, the leaders of this screaming were besides journalists of commercial television, who present are fiercely following the words "inscribed in the Cremlow narrative".
Worse still, the same script has been repeated for a year in connection with the "operation war": here too, both the political class and the media ("free", "regime") bid to postulate the introduction of further prohibitions, which primarily harm the citizens of our country and trample their rights and freedoms. This time the pretext is “help for the fighting Ukraine”, which (as though) “fights for us”. The costs of this amok are and will be even higher than the "covid operation". The yeast and impoverishment will take us back respective years back, due to the fact that we know well that just as lockdown did not have any (positive) influence on the simplification of diseases, so "cruising sanctions" imposed on ourselves do not affect the result of the war between Russia and Ukraine, in which we are consciously drawn against our interests.
The conclusions of the experience of these 3 years are alternatively sad: the political class and the media were only able to agree to the introduction (and "acceleration") of bans and illegal restrictions on our civilian rights and freedoms.
