"...this new world (recurring lockdowns, anti-social distancing, masks, rapid intro of novel vaccines) should now be permanent because, as you say, there will always be viruses out there... Moreover, by the logic of covid propaganda, we should have been wearing masks for the preceding decades/centuries." The straw man extrapolation about things that "should be" because there are "always virus out there"... is farcical. Consider there's been no pandemic as serious as this one in half a century: You have to go back to the Hong Kong flu of 1968 to find something comparable and for that they had a vaccine within three months. HK killed an estimated 30,000 in the UK: present UK excess deaths are already well over double that even with measures taken. But of course there's no real point in discussing anything with you as you clearly hold to an ideological standpoint and not a practical one: just like the government. In both cases it amounts to: "other people should die in large numbers rather than my capitalism/my individual life/rights be inconvenienced" -Your arguments concerning preventative measures hold little merit because they are merely post hoc justifications for this.
