I'd add that I don't think we should be ruled by anyone. We can keep decisions local, a concept known as subsidiarity, wherein problems are handled at the most local authority. This runs completely counter to the ideas of the globalists who want their fingers in everyone's pie.
We never needed a global answer to Covid as it could've been handled perfectly well at the local level. We don't need a global answer to CO2 because CO2 catastrophe isn't real.
But what we do need, I think, is a re-vamped International Criminal Court and severe penalties for using technology to harm, hinder, control or surveil the population, regardless of whether this is done knowingly or not. Imagine the power of technology 50 years hence. We have to ensure this isn't used against the people, and stop the current abuses.
So, to circle back to other concerns, whether or not viruses exist pales in comparison to the problem of encroaching technological control. It's not even an issue, in my book, even if viruses don't exist.

I feel as if I'm clapping (vigorously) in an empty theatre! You have nailed the situation so well.
Excellent writing and synthesis, Jim. Maybe the most important article on the Covid Op!
