You *STILL* haven't answered my question! Do you think ANY country does NOT
have control over scientific data, or do you only believe in things that do
not require even the slightest change to your worldview?

Yes China did tell a lie at the start of the pandemic, but that lie didn't
kill any Americans. Doctors and nurses reported that there was a shortage
of cheap virus protection masks in the US way back in February, and they're
STILL reporting a shortage of them to this very day. If The president can't
even solve that simple problem after 5 months do you really think an extra
three weeks of warning time would have made the slightest difference?

And you're the only one able to figure out that all the scientific data
about the virus is completely phoney, not one of the world's
epidemiologists is smart enough to do what you did.

Great idea if your goal is to destroy the constitution, because no society
can long remain free if people are dying in the streets from hunger or
disease, and if we followed your advice both things would happen .

As people were saying in 1835, and in 1935, and they continue to say it
today.
