I got two Moderna, that's all I'm doing.  The wife got the booster on her own free will.  I didn't want her to and let her know that I wasn't going to before she got hers.  Since she got her third, we have seen an almost immediate subsequent outbreak of some serious new problems that were not even a thought previously.  Most noticeably she is now on oxygen and has some sort of new cardiac thing going on, too.  She really regrets getting the booster and I now regret that I should have said more to try and dissuade her from getting the third and didn't.  She'll be undergoing a lot of tests during this next month.

When they finally print it in USA Today or a intern-employing fact-checker-site mebbe he will understand...

Our society is using gatekeepers to determine what is appropriate and acceptable and allowed - so similar to the "world is flat" debates centuries ago, when to say the earth is round and we are not the center of the universe was hersey because the church and state agreed it was flat and no dissent was allowed. 

The Hunter Biden Laptop story has also shown the media is working OT to deny reality.

Meanwhile, governments are chock full of WEF World Economic Forum members, who determine what thought is allowed.

The process has been underway since before any of us alive today were born. It's probably as old as the idea of government. They (the powers that should not be) have been, and continue to erode the rights of the people. With every crisis, they do it.
For instance you, anyone, for no reason, can be detained without charges for as long as they want to hold you.
And you don't have the right to contact anyone.

They will not let go of these new powers easily. Probably never. Anytime they want to lock you down,  mask you up or inject you they will.
Hundreds of thousands of small business destroyed - all planned -

You pretty much state my take and understanding of things in the big picture.  This is also the engineered death of the middle / merchant class (including many other things you mentioned)  that was never supposed to happen, but life in post WW II got in the way and the middle class became real and had some collective power over how the government functioned. 

The Covid power grab was just a canned public health control contingency pulled off the shelf.  That shelf has many other contingencies and  scenarios just waiting to become a crisis to exploit.

The Sagan quote is powerful.  And in Eisenhower's warning, the part most often ignored is the government, science and education complex and how government can design and control the results of "science".
...

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.

Adams to lift vaccine mandate for performers and athletes like Kyrie Irving ahead of MLB's Opening Day

Adams has been relaxing Covid-19 policies instituted by former Mayor Bill de Blasio since taking office Jan. 1, as he seeks to resume a sense of normalcy in the pandemic-ravaged city.

 Kyrie Irving dribbles the ball.
