Woke @ 3:00 am to do a virtual townhall in Uganda.
What I learned was the true extent of the danger of the mantra "wait for the vax"
In Uganda, schools are still closed. Kids <12 are barred from churches. Vaccine mandates are being implemented, but 0.8% of pop is fully-vaxed

I always thought in poorer countries, they weren't really implementing these policies, which could only ever function in a terribly rich country (with robots).
I was wrong.
Every bad idea is being done there, but 10x worse than it was here. They STILL have lockdowns.

Uganda is implementing a vax mandate w/<1% fully vaxed, and ~6% w/any shot.
The vax mandates (as everywhere) function solely as a method for surgically excluding people from society. In Uganda, that apparently is LITERALLY everyone but the top 1%.

Running for office, you're generally discouraged from doing events outside of your district. This was just a little out of my district :)
But I am so glad I decided to attend. Because what I saw was the bottom of the slippery slope. This NEVER ends.

@_SimonSsenyonga noted that for churches to re-open in Uganda, in addition to all the other pandemic theater, church leaders had to get a "scientific certification."
Even if you aren't religious, understand that this ultimately will be applied to business and everywhere.

And of course, it is revocable. This is what happens with vax mandates. Ultimately all access to society becomes revocable based on whatever new thing the government deems necessary, which will often be predicated on whichever element of it deems needs suppressing.

@WinnieKiiza noted that the country has implemented a vax mandate, but must beg for vaccines. While comments flowing in noted issues of literal starvation.
She warned of a pandemic of illiteracy, following more than a year-and-a-half of kids without any access to school.

Repeatedly, it was brought up that during their endless lockdowns, certain bars are able to open, depending upon who their owners were. That while the populace is told to stay home, their leaders continue to live as they did before.

The global state of affairs can no longer be called "myopic." That is too benign a characterization. This is malign. Our leaders have broken the world, and now they are grinding it into dust beneath their heels.
