Not to cast aspersions, but it seems there was this lab in China that performed gain-of-function research on a certain virus that ended up upending the entire world for three yearsand beyond.
Now imagine that it was not just one lab using humanized mice to change a virus but a ubiquitous and global mechanism that caused virtual viruses to create micenized humans.
Just as the natural obstacles to virus growth are removed in GoF research in a lab, the internet removes - in large part intentionally through algorithmic suggestion - those analogous inhibitors, leaving society practically defenseless against the virus.
The virus is intentionally put in one end of the chain of cages full of micenized humans, as it were, and comes out thoroughly weaponized at the other end.
While the only 100% effective vaccine for an internet virus is to simply to permanently turn it off, there may be ways, to coin a phrase, to "Flatten the curve." First, practicing social media distancing could be a first step.
An internet virus thrives on re-tweets, likes, emojis, clickbait, half-truths, and vitriol - doing what one can to avoid engaging in those activities would have an impact.
Fauci took a nasty but manageable virus and ran it through a series of micenized groups: first, the research community - so dependent upon him for funding; second, the media - so dependent upon terrible news to generate multiple frantic website clicks; third, bureaucrats - so dependent upon disorder to impose their version of order; and fourth, politicians - so dependent upon panic to increase their power and so terrified of losing their power that they automatically catastrophize everything.
