I agree Naomi, so emphatically, if type size was available this reply would be in 72 POINT SIZE TYPE SCALE! To quote, “If I’m right, Oster’s initial instinct was to protect her family from powerful, unaccountable authority by cooperating” My God!!! It was EXACTLY European citizens submitting to the NAZI REGIME, turning in listed dissident neighbors and Jews and any undesirable selected for the “final solution” that resulted in one of the most UNFORGIVABLE heinous atrocities of crimes against humanity and genocide in history, BY THE SAME MANIACAL genealogical depopulation eugenics monsters like Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab!
Simply applying and knowing history SHOULD have been a bellwether indicator for every edict and mandate “this does not make rational sense”.... adding the most obvious, never in medical history has a healthy population EVER been forced to quarantine, forced to test, forced to mask, forced to distance, forced to shut down businesses, forced to abuse infants and children with irrefutable insane measures... oh right, there was a time in history... WW2 NAZI GERMANY!
Within the first month of the "two weeks to slow the spread" I had made several yellow stars out of cardboard, and carried them around with me. I used them to talk to folks about this. I re-read Herman Wouk's "Winds of War" series until it was shredded, read Wiesel's "Night", also "Man's Search for Meaning", all to try to understand the madness all around me. ALL of my friends complied to some extent. Some excoriated me and unfriended me.

How did such respectable and intelligent citizens become complicit in the murder of their countrymen? These are the questions Milton Mayer sought to answer in his book They Thought They Were Free.
