First night out after the bars openned here, met my best mate and his wife, naturally conversation moved to the coronavirus. Both were of the opinion that lockdowns were just a way of reducing peoples rights and that it is tantamount to facism. I tried to point out what facism is, but then they just changed the subject. They said the government said this at the beginning of the crisis but now say that, as proof of their incompetence, even though they could only go on the information they had at the time. Then they went on to vaccines and Bill Gates. I pointed out that even if they don't believe in good intentions, that isn't an argument against a vaccine but only an argument against private involvement in public heath. Then they said he aired an opinion that movement should be restricted according to who might have had any potential vaccine. I said any vaccine should be voluntary but any country has the right to make its own rules as regards to movement. They said that's facism. What do I do to help then see straight? And because I didn't agree with them, apparently I haven't done the research and am brainwashed by the main media corporations.
