I ended my last column on COVID contradictions from our political and medical authorities with a reference to last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests, one of which was ornamented by an appearance (mask on, knee bent) by our own prime minister. These protests were declared medically welcome, if not necessary, in a time of COVID. That opinion was trumpeted in a major media statement by 1,200 “medical authorities.” This was during the same period when eight or nine people clustered at a park picnic table to munch on chicken wings was understood as likely to spark the advent of Black Death 2.0.
