Melbourne Australia

I feel that they are losing their cognitive abilities, so I’d prefer not to let them be in charge of anything of importance.

I live in Melbourne, Australia, so the lockdowns and measures here were absolutely wild. People here were hypnotised by the media, and were reporting their neighbours for having visitors and/or breaking curfews and the 5km radius rule (which in itself was absurd), they particularly enjoyed enforcing mask mandates on each other, and being openly hostile toward anyone who was in any way critical of what was going on. I got screamed at trying to enter a garden supply centre without a vaccine passport, and escorted to the carpark by staff, it went full Karen here. Because Melbourne was already the Woke capital of Australia (think Portland Oregon) there was absolutely no decent, and the issue of lockdowns and vaccines became deeply moralised, so anyone speaking out or being even slightly critical was immediately cancelled, which is what happened to me, I lost every single friend, not from speaking out, but from simply not participating. The vaccine rate here is about %97 which should tell you everything that you need to know. This also translated into a loss of work as workplace mandates were zealously enforced, so I had to get creative, and ended up restoring vintage cars out of my garage, and building escape room puzzles for a local university in my workshop. Sadly I’ll never be able to trust or respect a vaccinated person.
