Love, Not Fear, Will Get Us Through This Crisis

Paris Williams / November 26, 2021 / Philosophy, Public Health / 27 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Our task, should we choose to accept it, is to do our best to minimise that harm, to ensure that the cure (which presently consists predominantly of sowing fear, trauma and social division, and the rapidly dismantling our human rights and democracy) is not worse than the disease. One thing we know about human nature is that when we face a crisis head on, with open hearts and open minds, with ‘good-faith’ collaboration rather than ‘enemy-image’ animosity, wholesome solutions invariably emerge.

Sorry, Kids: We Were Wrong

Brownstone Institute / June 9, 2022 / Education / 6 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The road to healing and rebuilding ahead is still long, but as a first step we must take responsibility, admit that we have lost our way, and ask our children for heartfelt forgiveness. At the same time, we must direct massive resources toward our children in order to repair the harm of the past two years, in both the socio-emotional and the educational spheres.

Americans have sacrificed enough of their human rights and of their livelihoods for two years in the service of protecting the general public health. Omicron is circulating but it is not an emergency. The emergency is over. The current emergency declaration must be canceled. It is time.

The Censorious Scott Gottlieb Was a Major Influence on Lockdowns

Jeffrey A. Tucker / January 9, 2023 / Law, Media / 5 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The person and role of Gottlieb is a paradigmatic case of why and how solving the mysteries of the lockdowns and mandates is such a complicated undertaking. It’s not just about government intervention and it’s not just about private corruption. It’s about a complicated relationship between the two, involving a range of public and private actors in and out of government who seized control of the policy machinery to achieve private ends at enormous public expense.

When Panic Became Normalized

Rev. John F. Naugle / March 16, 2024 / History, Psychology / 7 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

What leaders in government did, whether it be President Trump on the national level or your health department head on the local level, was an abject failure in what is one of the first duties of good leadership. To encourage panic and the psychological devastation that accompanies panic is wicked and depraved. The lack of accountability for nearly any of those guilty portends a future even more devoid of the necessary virtues required for good leadership.

The Evil of Coerced Medicine

Although the minimal conditions for justifying vaccine mandates were never close to being met, institutions embraced these misguided policies with little meaningful public discussion and no debate.

Vaccine Mandates are Unethical

Jayanta Bhattacharya,

Martin Kulldorff / November 12, 2021 / Philosophy, Public Health / 4 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It is an odd reality about vaccine mandates that they aim to increase vaccination among working-age adults and even children, including those with natural immunity, rather than the high-risk elderly. The well of public trust in public health is finite, and to waste it on a policy that seeks to increase vaccination rates in a lower risk population makes little sense.

My Colleagues’ Right to Say Terrible Things

What we can’t do is act like censorious leftists, demanding the scalp of anyone who says something we don’t like. Either we’re the side that truly believes in free speech—or else there is no such side anymore.

Who Will Be Held Responsible for this Devastation?

This is the moment in which we find ourselves: a ruling class terrified of being found out, called out, and held accountable, and therefore incentivized to generate an endless series of excuses, scapegoats, and distractions (“You need another shot!”).

People of the World are Dramatically Losing Years of Life

Sven Román / December 1, 2022 / Public Health / 3 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The trend of increasing life-years lost is contrary to what would be expected for effective Covid-19 countermeasures, including mass vaccination and lockdowns. The damage in terms of reduced longevity is becoming greater with each passing week. How much longer should we proceed down this road of failed public health policy before we start to reverse the trajectory?
