Democracy is deteriorating across the world, with countries including the United States taking undemocratic and 'unnecessary' actions to contain the coronavirus pandemic, an intergovernmental body said in a new report today.

'Many democratic governments are backsliding,' the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, or International IDEA, said. 

The 34-nation organization added that as of August 2021, 64 per cent of countries have taken an action to curb the pandemic that it considers 'disproportionate, unnecessary or illegal.'

One particularly bad explanation for the need or purpose of the feudal elite was to remove or absorb excess production. That explanation or theory is about as stupid as the theory that the Battle of Adrianople, where the Goths defeated the Byzantines, heralded the technological supremacy of the knight on the battle field for next 1,000 years. The last theory has been taught for the last 50 years in West Point and American colleges across the nation.

The point of the first statement above is to question whether the governing class are necessary or do as much good as the claim or assume. Not only are the governing class merely trying to aggrandize power, but they are clue less about biology.

For example how about this statement by the utterly worthless German Health Minister.

Germans will be 'vaccinated, cured or dead' in a few months, health minister warns as country mulls compulsory jabs and Austria wakes up to life in lockdown amid Europe's Covid crisis

Three Points.

1) When did COVID have a 100% or nearly 100% fatality rate?

2) When did COVID have a higher mortality rate than smallpox, which has a fatality rate of 30%

3) The outgoing NIH head complain about misinformation. Government officials in different countries have engaged in a great deal of misinformation as shown by the German Health Minister.


People will line of voluntarily for vaccinations, when the calculate on their own that the benefits outweigh the risks.
