“If you want to break down a body from the outside, you can do it in three ways. One: overwhelm it with something really powerful. Two: weaken its defences by giving it nothing to fight against, like washing all germs away, for a generation.

The third is sort of what Al-Qaeda tried with 9-11 or what we did with some of the covid lockdowns.”
― Alexander Boldizar, The Man Who Saw Seconds
