@pam thank you for sharing it.
This bit was so good, as hopefully everyone can see this being done and ask why: 'Blair outlined four key components of COVID hegemony: 1) “the adoption and promotion of myths that downplay its severity,” 2) “the suppression of COVID-related data and other information” (e.g., the decrease in COVID tracking and reporting, the change from daily to weekly reporting, reduced access to PCR tests and the discontinuation of PCR test reporting), 3) efforts to adapt public opinions and actions (e.g., using the concept of pandemic fatigue to justify changing mask requirements guidelines, attributing increased health problems to remote work), and 4) hyperindividualism, which removes responsibility from institutions and places it onto individuals.'
