The Big Picture of Extraordinary Evil in 428 Words

Jeffrey A. Tucker discusses the significant changes in global society following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. He examines the handling and narrative surrounding the pandemic while expressing frustration at the mainstream media's lack of interest in accountability and full understanding of the events.

1. Media Disengagement: The national media has largely moved on from the pandemic, framing it as a past event that doesn't require further examination or accountability.

2. Complexity of Events: The pandemic's complexities make it difficult to understand fully. Many different data points and institutions interacted in ways that make it hard to distinguish primary causes from secondary responses.

3. Virus Origin and Vaccine Development: Tucker asserts that a U. S.-funded lab in Wuhan, China, developed a virus that escaped, leading to global panic. Rather than admit to this, authorities allegedly lied about the origins.

4. Lockdowns and Censorship: To manage the fallout from the virus leak, a series of measures, including lockdowns and censorship, were implemented. These actions aimed to buy time for the vaccine's development.

5. Economic Impact: Extensive economic damage occurred, which Tucker attributes to the pandemic response, including policies that led to inflation and devaluation of the dollar. Businesses failed, and arts and religious practices suffered.

6. Public Health Measures: The narrative surrounding masks and social distancing was manipulated to foster a perception of a severe crisis, which was necessary to increase demand for new vaccines.

7. Political Manipulation: He suggests that the health crisis was used to introduce changes in voting practices and surveillance systems, which further centralized governmental power.

8. Failure of Institutions: Major institutions, including academia and corporate entities, cooperated with the narrative despite potential consequences for non-compliance, raising issues of accountability.

9. Vaccine Uptake Issues: Once the vaccine became available, public uptake was lower than expected, leading to locally enforced vaccine mandates and increased societal divisions.

Tucker's overview presents a critical perspective on the actions taken during the pandemic, alleging a web of deceit and manipulation involving various stakeholders. He calls on others to share their versions of these events, inviting further exploration and discussion of this complex topic.
