Nobody's freedom was taken away, though. If the majority of people really believed it was a "plandemic" then people could have resisted, with force if necessary. Especially in the US where gun sales hit a high last year. I guess a minority did resist one way or another, more peacefully if not quietly.I agree Covid was used to justify lockdowns, take freedoms from people, and grab power for politicians and governments. But I don't agree the endgame was to get people to take this vaccine, the endgame was to centralize power. Different levels of paranoia, I guess.
It's my observation that governments don't usually have endgames. They just make up the plan as they go along. That can be dangerous too, of course, but it's rarely competent.
