I have some sympathy for these people. They are victims of brainwashing. Rebel, Fox News, Facebook, Reddit, the chans, Post Media and government inaction are to blame.

Also it isn't crazy to think that the government might be doing something nefarious. Project MKULTRA ended in the 70's and some residential schools were open till the 90's. Also there are plenty scandals regarding some of the vaccine manufacturers.

This situation was handled poorly IMO. Instead of actually educating people, this government sought political gain by demonizing protesters and the opposition. The opposition handled it just as bad if not worse by using this to their advantage.

The big winners in all of this are the politicians, both the cons and liberals saw boosts in support.
