COVID-19 is the terrorism of this generation. It's the anything goes, doesn't matter how fair, as long as it's because COVID.

Terrorism became a US obsession because a little over 3,000 died on our soil. Covid-19 will kill 100,000 or more.

The fear is justified and the extreme prejudice against Covid-19 misinformation (most of which has an agenda behind it) is warranted.

This particular case may go too far, but that has no bearing on whether the other efforts against misinformation are too extreme.

This just shows how bad our reaction was. We spent years looking for WMDs and came up empty handed. We should have done nothing, just like this situation. People are getting sick of this s*.
