It’s not as if government officials considered the collateral damage to be inflicted on the economy, society, and health by the lockdowns and then rationally concluded that the benefits of locking down outweighed these costs.

Mask Up and Don’t Ask Questions
Our wise and benevolent liberal overlords, satisfied with how well their exploitation of the covid pandemic went three years ago, have decidedto do it all over again since the nonconformists, for all their outrage, never got around to holding them accountable.
R.I.P. American Public Schools
Once parents got kids home and began to examine what they were actually being taught, school boards faced an amazing explosion of outrage. Thus began the populist uprising against Critical Race Theory. The mask mandates and then vaccine mandates only exacerbated the problem.
How an Occupied Twitter Ruined Countless Lives
We know now that the stream of information is carefully curated by algorithms and human intervention, not to fit with your interests as they once claimed, but to fit with regime interests. In other words, what people used to say about the CCP role in the management of TikTok applies fully in the US today with all the main tech companies.
Lockdown Architect Tony Fauci Quits to Write Book
He has never acknowledged the downside to the policies he pushed as advisor to both Trump and Biden, and still refuses even fully to admit his role. Nor has he been forthcoming about his role in the funding of gain-of-function research in Wuhan.
The CDC’s Ludicrous Makeover
The CDC’s announcement covers everything except the fundamental problem to which the director and the external reviewer are blind: industry subservience and epidemiologic incompetence.
Can We Please Stop Demonizing the Unvaccinated?
Thankfully we are moving away from many of the deeply misguided, terribly damaging Covid policies that have plagued us (pun intended) for the last two years. Let us now work together to get rid of this last vestige of scientifically ignorant, panic-induced groupthink.
The DC Rally and the Rise of the Resistance
By long American tradition, protest movements manifest themselves most fully in gatherings in Washington, D.C, starting at the Washington Monument and culminating in speeches at the Lincoln Memorial. At long last, after two years of astonishing attacks on fundamental rights that most everyone once believed were protected by the U.S. Constitution, this happened yesterday, January 23, 2022.
Elon Musk, Person of the Year, Radicalized by Lockdowns
It’s a good call for Time Magazine: it made Elon Musk the person of the year. It’s actually even a remarkable call, and a great omen. Musk is arguably the most prominent opponent of lockdowns and vaccine mandates in the US. In his official interview, he refused to take back his last-year denunciation of stay-at-home orders as “fascist.”
Biden’s Throat Frog Hints at the Coming Normalcy
The response to Biden’s infection should give us all hope that we can get back to normal, stop stigmatizing the sick, stop calling people who recover from Covid “survivors,” stop avoiding each other as if the human person is nothing but a vector of disease spread, and stop with this incredible cruel demand that every person separate from everyone else in the name of controlling a virus.
The Fallacy of One Medical Solution for Covid-19
Dr. Joel Hirschhorn: A new public health strategy that no longer adheres to single-minded mass vaccination can obtain broad public support. Now is the time to endorse and support personalized medicine applied to the pandemic. Promoting choice is a far better public health approach than wide use of authoritarian pandemic controls that have devastated lives and produced mental stress and many collateral deaths.
Vaccine Mandates Are Institutionalized Segregation
Forced compliance will come with future consequences. The ensuing anger, resentment and loss of trust forms a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. Are we ready to add this mandate to the list of issues helping erode the fabric of our society?
