We are individuals living in civilization,

The SF author, David Brin, has been hammering this point for a while. His novel, The Postman, has that as a central theme. The movie doesn't nearly as much.

>> But in a national emergency, we pull together.

Depends on the emergency. If a huge hurricane strikes, sure, everyone pulls together. There aren't many foundational decisions being made in those times. Water's running into NOLA, you try to patch the leaks and pump it out. That's pretty simple.

But 2020 was different. We had anti-Trump hatred hoping for failure, because Democrats needed the virus to steal the election. They knew that in March. The last thing they needed was for people to stop dying in April.
Strangely, it was also March when the early trials were showing success for HCQ. The only requirement was to catch it early. Also strangely, none of the trails could quite follow the directions -- "Treat ASAP after the first onset of symptoms." ) For some reason, the only EUA that came was for hospitalized patients -- a group which, by definition, could not be helped by it; can't be having survivors, can we? WTF was up with that I wonder?
Democrats needed a failure. Dead people Lots of dead people.
And many of understood that HCQ and Ivermectin were being blocked without cause. We had read much of the literature, understood the statistics were strong, but there was nothing that was going to get in the way of the Democrats new legislation, the Zuck $, the cheating, the lying, all of it.

Hey, you have to live with that. I did my best to get all of you on this thread to educate yourselves. You wouldn't. Because the election was the focus. And it was escalated to top priority. Fauci knew it, too. And hell, he needed to keep people away from the REAL cause of the virus in the first place.

It was sick, for sure. But Dems didn't want any pulling together on this one, for sure.
