At face value, without looking to closely, lock-downs made sense to the average person at the time. Look at it like buying a car. The salesman (the government) is trying to sell you a car (a lockdown) and the salesman knows that if you get to think too long about it he’ll not get the kind of sale he wants or maybe none at all so he keeps your focus on as many of the positives as he can and avoids the negatives when at all possible. When it came time to sell the idea of a lockdown to the public they had already been whipped into a state of fear, panic & hysteria as the media was portraying covid as being the next Black Plague, reporting on it like as if bodies were on every street corner in America. The media wasn’t just trying to sell us a lie but they were actively marketing fear to the public and online counterparts like social media were also controlling the flow of information to ensure maximize fear amongst the populace so that people would agree to whatever was proposed.
Remember that this was done quickly and because we had never instituted a lockdown before no one considered the ramifications of one or that the government would keep it going for so long. They sold lockdowns to the public as being 14 days to flatten the curve. They knew damn well it was never going to be 14 days but they said 14 days because that’s the amount of time their analysis of the data said the public would accept; 14 days was the buy-in level from the public. The most important thing at that time was getting the lockdown in place, afterwards it would be easy to keep extending it and eventually the public would fall into a routine of living with lockdowns. They knew they couldn’t keep it going forever but long enough to get a drug ready for mass distribution. The lockdown prepped the people for acceptance of the experimental drug because it was the promise of way to return to normalcy, to escape the punitive lockdown.
From the first day they (those in government at the top handling this) decided to take advantage of covid to implement what was gamed out in Event 201. They knew it would 1-2 years before a drug would be ready for mass distribution and so everything was planned around that timeline. Tell the public 14 days so they’ll accept it and once in place keep finding reasons to expand it. Have the media crank up the fear via reporting of rigged data (ie died with covid being equal to died because of covid) . Coordinate with social media to control dissidence and the sharing of information that contradicted government approved narratives.
In the end they partially failed. They got their physical tracking and checkpoint system in place in some major cities (the passport thing) but they failed to achieve the most important goal of all, the precedent that the US Federal Government can mandate drugging of the public. This is why they’re now trying to get the WHO a backdoor way into doing just that, mandating the drugging of the public during a declared emergency.
Why is mandating the drugging of the public the most important goal? Once you can do that you’re not many steps away from controlling society. I know it sounds scary but the further we move away from covids early days and the more we find out about how much they knew about the covid vaccine and how much they lied it’s only reasonable to assume that the effort they made to try and mandate the drugs use was more about setting the precedent that the government could do that then about saving lives. Money was a factor too, if no one is taking the vaccine then how can the giant pharmaceutical companies make money? Justin Trudeau has shown you don’t need wiling vaccine recipients, you can just but the vaccine from Pfizer and stockpile it and if it ends up going unused then just write it off and buy more.
