The further we get away from the absurdly ridiculous and evil COVID years, the weirder the whole thing looks.

And considering how weird it looked to most of us back then, while we were actually living through it, that’s saying a lot.
Remember some of the doozies…
Depending on where you lived, churches faced shutdowns, while people packed into stores deemed “essential.” Restaurants had customers put on a mask to walk ten feet to their table, where they were allowed to take it off the second they sat down. There were mask rules at beaches and parks. Plexiglass went up everywhere. Kids were pulled out of school. Businesses were shut down. Weddings and funerals were canceled. It was a circus of stupidity that made no sense, and no matter how loud some of us screamed, the pro-COVID media drowned us out.
Back then, all the new rules were wrapped up in “trust the experts” blankies, and liberals sucked up every new restriction like it was baby formula.
But plenty of normal Americans looked around and thought, “How does any of this make sense?”
We were expected to believe that COVID germs magically knew whether you were standing beside a restaurant table or sitting at it.
Even Congress later held a hearing titled “Churches vs. Casinos” examining pandemic restrictions on religious freedom.
Then came the absurd vaccine push…
States, businesses, and local governments rolled out everything from cash and lotteries to food and other freebies trying to convince obese Americans to get jabbed by handing out free pizza and donuts. That was a great idea, since COVID was hitting overweight people much harder.

And why on earth did they turn nursing homes into COVID hot spots and make already vulnerable elderly people sitting ducks?
So yes, looking back, Americans are going to have questions.
Especially now…
Because on July 29, Anthony Fauci appeared before a Senate committee investigating the whole COVID fiasco and invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times.
This came after Fauci publicly said in 2022 that he had “nothing to hide” and would cooperate with congressional oversight. So, again, yes, Americans have questions.
And now, right in the middle of all this renewed COVID sketchiness, an explosive new theory is making the rounds.
If it sounds a little wild, that’s because it is… but wasn’t everything “wild” when it came to COVID?
Jeffrey Tucker is a longtime libertarian writer and the founder and president of the Brownstone Institute, which became one of the loudest institutional critics of lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
Tucker has argued for years that the real endgame behind the lockdown strategy was essentially “lock down until vaccination.”

Now, he’s saying he got confirmation that his theory held water.
Brownstone Institute:

Jeffrey Tucker just revealed that top FDA and NIH quietly admitted the real reason for Covid lockdowns, masking, and social distancing to him.

It sounds like a “wild conspiracy theory.”

But it’s the truth.

The real reason for all of it was to “delay the onset of natural immunity.”

Why?

“It was to keep us from gaining a natural capacity to resist the virus so that they could wait until the injection came along, so the injection could be deployed and experimented upon us and thereby to get all the credit for having solved the issue.”

“Flatten the curve meant prolong the pain, delay the solution.”

“It sounds crazy until you hear it from people who were there on the ground in the agencies, in the companies, watching all this unfold.”

“Multiple sources have confirmed this without a shadow of doubt in their mind that that was the real purpose of the school closures.”

“The business shutdowns.”

“The stay-at-home orders.”

“The travel restrictions.”

“To delay the point at which we would have essentially solved the problem through natural exposure and immune upgrades.”
