There are scores of evidence based stat's to prove that on the internet. I will post one link but I am sure you will dismiss that as propaganda

Good news the science is in.

I've heard those arguments before ("oh yeah, what about seat belts, obeying traffic lights?," etc.) and they are not the same thing at all. No one is calling for complete anarchy and subversion of basic licensing rules by simply pointing out the absurdity / hypocrisy of all the mandates over the past 2 years.
Caring about your neighbour is respecting and standing up for their God-given freedoms, even those you may disagree with. There's no higher form of respect than that. Continuing to believe the narrative that's been exposed and debunked multiple times over is not caring for your neighbour. Living in a state of fear and supporting lockdowns and bogus health measures for a virus with a 99% survival rate is not caring for your neighbour and is very much a sign of submission.
No need to over react? We've had 2 years of our lives stolen from us. Thousands of people have died because of missed treatments, mental health/suicide, etc. Young children are experiencing learning & developmental problems from constant mask wearing and are now conditioned to think this is normal. Kids have had milestone life events (graduation, prom, etc.) taken from them. The anxiety level among our youth, which was already high to begin with, is up like crazy. Many businesses have been completely ruined. Those who dared take a stand against the tyranny have been smeared and slandered at every turn. It's not an over reaction to be upset about this and to rightly point fingers where they deserve to be pointed -- corrupt leaders in cahoots with corrupt business, and complacent, scared citizens.
How much more evidence do you need at this stage to realize how we've all been played?
It’s quite simple. It’s an air born virus. Masks (n95’s) will help prevent transmission. Full stop. It seems logical to try an ounce of prevention. No rights abuse there.
Your reactions are not out of the ordinary and show much fatigue in our current environment. It’s perfectly normal. Much has changed in 2 years. But I have faith in the resilience of mankind to bounce back once things return to normal.
In time I hope we will be able to reflect on all the information out there and come to a consensus on what actually happened. And with some forethought we will be better prepared in the future.

But it’s important to note that as the virus changes, maybe the strategy changes too.

Well birdbuff I suggest you try using a dictionary once in a while to make sure you use proper terms. I'll start with this one for you to make it easy. This is the definition of coercion. "Coercion is compelling a party to act in an involuntary manner by use of threats, including force." See how easy that was? You're already a smarter person lol.
As far as I know some private business’ created their own mandates. It’s their choice. As it’s your choice where you want to spend your money.
Pandemic rules aren’t hard to follow whether your vaxxed or not.
No one is forcing you to get vaccinated!! Breath and repeat!!

The lockdowns were a knee jerk reaction to try to stop the spread it failed, maybe (we won’t know if it would have been worse otherwise). We can change the government with our votes!

You really need to check the dictionary. So if a private company mandates you have to get vaxxed to keep your job does that not mean you were coerced (forced) to get jabbed? There is no other way to look at it, except in your warped case it seems.

Ahh no...even less plausible now because the Omicron has negated any aspect of preventing infections with the vaccine. 80% of all positive cases last week were in passport carrying 'Verified' people. They are more of a threat than the unvaccinated..
In fact, because they haven't stopped the use of the defunct passports confirms that the use of them is not for prevention at all, but for coercion to get more of unvaccinated to take the jab.

Take a look at the data from Sweden...they didn't use Lockdowns. Their death rate is 9.1 : 1000 and Canada with 2 yrs of extensive lockdowns is 7.7: 1000. Statistically (1.4 : 1000 difference) so very close. We spent $400 Billion to get that.
