Greetings, Pfizer Pfaithful! We at the Ministry of Truthiness are alarmed to hear that those anti-vaxxer, anti-science conspiracy theorists are back, claiming that during the last three years, we coerced people into doing things they didn’t want to do. We have checked with our Memory Hole Department, and after sifting through the charred, unreadable remains of historical documents, we can assure you absolutely no coercion ever happened!
We never forced you stay at home. You had a choice: you could support the greater good by cowering at home, or you could get fined or arrested. No coercion there!
We never forced you to wear a mask. You had a choice: you could support the greater good by wearing a mask everywhere, even in your car, or you could get thrown out of shops and other venues if you didn’t comply. No coercion there!
We never forced you to take the Glorious Goo. You had a choice: you could support the greater good by getting jabbed with the Glorious Goo multiple times, or you could get thrown out of music venues, fired from your job, or suffer a winter of severe illness and death. No coercion there!
In short, you were free to comply with our demands or suffer the consequences. Your choice! Isn’t freedom wonderful? Aren’t you glad you live in a free society? You should be! And you should be glad that we at the Ministry of Truthiness supported that freedom with our safe and effective Freedom Mandates. We saved the world from the Worst Disease Ever! And we’ll continue to save the world from future Scary Threats. The best is yet to come!
As a famous car-maker once said, "you can have any colour - as long as it's black". Same principle with the Covid nutters.
The Covidian mix of 24/7 performative and real hysterics, and dangerous and violent sanctimony, offers unlimited scope for all sorts of world-saving.
