I am sitting here and pondering the amount of damage this man and his co-conspirators did to the US and probably the world. Stuff that goes beyond creating the virus. Stuff that happened during and because of lockdowns. This is by no means a comprehensive list.
- Businesses failed and are continuing to do so
-decline of numerous mental health markers for the entire society
- increased suicide rates, especially amongst young people
- increased substance abuse stats including OD deaths and addiction.
- increase in homelessness
- Social isolation and all the negatives that come with it for old and young alike. My mother's Alzheimer's seemed to rapidly accelerate during lockdowns.
- Kid's ability to socialize, read social cues, etc. has not been developed. Anecdotal: High school kids are way less emotionally mature than before 2020.
- Ability to read and write amongst school children has been drastically diminished.
Etc., etc., etc.
This is stuff that I see every day.
All from a couple years of various types of lockdowns and masking. The guy and his ilk had no clue as to what he was doing. He was winging it and the country, particularly children, suffered and continue to do do. He didn't even follow his own rules. Then he perjured himself.
Of course he needed a pardon.
