COVID-19 Management, vaccine management, any possible effect on citizen trust and national security? From a personal perspective.

ABSTRACT

Citizen’s makeup a country or a nation, and their cohesive coexistence can be assumed to be tied to a common belief, faith or trust in those ruling or leading them and once this trust or common belief is violated by assume or presumed actions of those in position of trust, the sequela or consequences will be a breakdown of law and order at the long run, national disunity and a collapse of all national norms. The management of the COVID-19 pandemic has remained highly divisive and criticized by various groups in the US leading to draconic censorship, mandates, especially when it came to mandating the experimental use vaccines. This writer is writing from a personal perspective and seeks to explore what was told, what was observed and how these may or may not affect national security via citizens compliance for future interventions in health issues.
