Subject: Re: Murthy vs Missouri , for the legal scholars
The mask/vaccine mistakes were, for the most part, honest errors made as a result of a rapidly changing biological dilemma during which millions of people were dying. The goal was the greater public good. - sano

How very forgiving of you. There were many examples of the people making the rules for the rest of us, not following those rules themselves. That fact doesn't comport with your benign interpretation of intent.
Cue up the infamous video of a maskless Fauci enjoying ballgame, or Newsom at the French Laundry, or Pelosi at the hairdressers, and hundreds more. Some of the most obscene examples were those big gala receptions where the rich and powerful gathered to give themsolves some inane recognition, the guests were maskless while the staff serving them all had to mask up.
Much of emergency was based on speculation which the experts presented it as fact. Get the shot and you can't be infected, get it now!!!. If you work for the government, get the shot now or loose your job. Not mentioned is the exemption provided to congress and their staffs. Nice of them to make more vaccine available for the rest of us.
Then there was pulling kids out of school with zero regard for other childhood development consequences, the stay indoors rules, don't run at the beach rule, don't attend church even parked in the church parking lots, close the mom and pops but keep the big box stores going, what science supported the six foot separation rule with all those stupid white circles for people to set in like trained seals, exercise is good - just don't go to the gym to do it, test you dinner guests as they arrive and reject them for non compliance, set limits on the number of people you could entertain in your own home, and one of the worst abuses in my estimation - denying family members visitation rights to see their loved ones, in a nursing home or hospice situations when the bewildered patient doesn't know why their family abandoned them or worse dying alone when they could have been surrounded by their loving family.
No, the abuses were many, and went way beyond masks and vaccines, and you let them off too easily. The scariest thing about this was how quickly and easily all this was accomplished.
