I agree on all the red flags. At the start in all my innocence, I was really expecting the government to open up at the end of 3 weeks, and when they didn't then I thought surely they would as spring progressed into summer. And then I started following up odd links on the internet to interviews with the likes of Mike Yeadon and became a full blown sceptic. My most hated red flag was the one on mask, which from the start I refused to adhere to -it was difficult at the start not wear a mask, but it gradually became easier and now boldly walk round at work as the only person without one (I notice an email got circulated reminding staff about wearing masks last time I was in the building!). I hate masks so much that I cannot watch videos of things like choral evensong from Salsibury Cathedral as it angers me so much - just have to listen, as I enjoy the music and singing. Haven't been to church such it started whilst the CoE continues to worship wfalse gods.

Thanks for this which had me laughing in places, albeit on a serious topic.

My favorite red flag was the scientific research paper that used fraudulent (made-up, non-existent!) data to show that hydroxychloroquinine (HCQ) was not effective, that it was actually killing patients. This paper caused HCQ to be banned and legitimate research to be stopped. The paper was retracted within 2 weeks, but the bans were not lifted and much of the research not restarted. A classic effective propaganda event; the data in the study came from somewhere, whoever created it knew it was bogus. Who created this fraud? Someone who benefited by not finding low-cost effective treatments for COVID.
