Thirteen questions that our Government officials refuse to answer surrounding the Pandemic

BY SIMONE J. SMITH

Dating back to the 1970s, research suggests that people have conversations to accomplish two major goals: information exchange (learning) and impression management (liking). Recent research shows that asking questions achieves both (https://hbr.org/2018/05/the-surprising-power-of-questions).

What is interesting about this time of rapid information is that everyone thinks they are a genius because they are able to ask Google a question and have it spurt out an answer. The only issue with that is that people take this information and regurgitate it without asking pertinent questions about what they have read, or otherwise ingested mentally.

Another piece to understand about this is how many people are afraid to ask questions at all. Funny enough, it’s impossible to move forward without asking questions. How are you supposed to learn anything new if you’re never wondering, “Does this make sense?” or “This has not been working; is it possible to do it another way?”  It’s not only about asking others, you must also master the art of asking yourself the right questions. Challenging the way you think is crucial to your evolution. The kind of questions you ask yourself can have a huge impact on how you live your life.

An extremely troubling aspect of this pandemic is the lack of transparency and accountability. The authorities have created mandates that we must follow, but they refuse to be held accountable, or to be questioned when their mandates are not effective. Anyone who asks questions is characterized as spreading misinformation, but mostly I believe that people are simply asking questions that authorities do not want to answer.

I have some questions, and I have received questions from members of our community that are worth considering, and definitely worth asking our government officials, and most definitely our Premier and Prime Minister. I implore you; take the time to read over these questions and really think about them. Forget about the rhetoric, and attempt to push aside your personal thoughts and prior beliefs. This will be difficult, but it is the start to getting back to the normal that we all crave. All right. Here we go …

• Facebook has removed vaccine victim support groups with over 200,000 users. Why was this done? How is removing a support group for vaccine injuries a benefit to society?
• Why are people trying to censor the doctors instead of debating them?
• When we found out the vaccines did nothing to prevent infection, the societal benefit ended at that point. Why didn’t our Public Health officials drop the mandates?
• Is there a cardiologist in the entire country who has seen rates of myocarditis fall after the vaccines rolled out? How come you can’t find one?
• There are over 5,000 significantly elevated adverse events in the VAERS system. Why aren’t we given a list of these? If they weren’t caused by the vaccines, then what were they caused by?
• Why has the NIH turned a blind eye to every early treatment protocol?
• Why is the news coverage of vaccine safety and efficacy so one-sided? Isn’t the news media supposed to report both sides and let the viewers decide?
• Why did the NIH suppress every single early treatment protocol using existing drugs/supplements?
• If the mandates are to protect society, why isn’t there a risk benefit analysis anywhere?
• If you want to mandate something, why not mandate that everyone with COVID get early treatment?
• Why won’t pharmaceutical companies accept liability for the vaccines?
• Since the benefits of cloth and surgical masks are zero can we please see the risk-benefit analysis that the CDC prepared to justify the mask recommendations?
• Where is the study showing that six feet results in a benefit?

Learning how to ask the right question is useful, because it starts you off from a place of not knowing; you don’t start with the assumption that you already have the answer, you start with a question. Each time you ask this question, it produces a chain reaction of new questions that over time and with enough patience will lead to answers.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners. So go ahead; share these with friends and family, and come up with some of your own. It is time for our community to get the answers they deserve.
