“When you compare the destructive policies you are pursuing with the sane policies of some other countries — you can clearly see that the destruction you have caused has only added victims beyond the vulnerable to the virus. The economy you ruined, the unemployed you caused, and the children whose education you destroyed — they are the surplus victims as a result of your own actions only.”

Songbird: The Dystopian Film that Became Real

Jeffrey A. Tucker / January 11, 2022 / Media, Public Health, Society / 9 minute read / Articles

These seemingly scientific slogans – flatten the curve, slow the spread, socially distance, track-and-trace – mask deeply dangerous policy ideas that can ruin life for everyone, and utterly destroy health and human liberty itself. The film is right: pandemic controls are an existential threat.

The CDC director’s tweet won’t settle all the COVID19 debates, but it is an admission that our current policies have failed and must be abandoned. We cannot eradicate the virus. We have to live with it, and balance it against all the other important things: school, work, and our mental health.

This is a warning call. We have seen these conditions before, and we have seen where they lead. Turn back now – that way leads to darkness.

Infection can be avoided for weeks or months or perhaps years, but eventually, the virus will touch all human beings who touch another person. Under these circumstances, we should differentiate between two classes of interventions.

Canada’s Accidental Biosecurity State

Mikko Packalen / January 9, 2022 / Economics, Law, Public Health, Technology / 6 minute read / Articles

The Covid policies we see today in Canada are the product of pretending for two years that Covid can be stopped, that no trade-offs exist when it comes to Covid, and shunning debate on even the most obvious trade-offs and alternative Covid policies. The lack of attention to the human and economic costs of Canada’s Covid response has been appalling.

What Sotomayer said about machines and humans was not rooted in ignorance as such; it was the fulfillment of the delusions of countless intellectuals the world over for most of this century.

Covid, As Seen With My Own Eyes

There is little interest and therefore little data on natural immunity. I responded to an announcement for a COVID seroprevalence study in spring 2020 in which interested subjects were asked to contact the NIH via email. I sent 2 separate emails about 6 weeks apart with no response.
