Look to the Media for Greatest Scandal of Our Lifetime

According to a headline in The American Conservative, it was “The Greatest Scandal Of Our Lifetime.”

How could you not want to read on? What could it be, this epic scandal? Russian “collusion”? “Spygate”? The Mueller probe? Hunter Biden’s influence peddling? The stolen election? Chinese spies? Watergate?

Rather disappointingly, it was none of these. R.J. Quinn, the article’s author, had instead picked out as “the greatest scandal of our lifetime” the decision by governments across the world to shut down much of their economies as a prophylactic against the coronavirus. He believes—and I agree with him—that the shutdowns produced catastrophic effects for millions of people that made the cure worse than the disease whose spread it was meant to prevent.

AMA Lied – How Many Died?

The American Medical Association has been adamantly against hydroxychloroquine as a therapeutic for COVID for the past year. Just a few days before the presidential election they reversed course, reversing their opposition. Did they suddenly realize HCQ might have benefit in certain patient groups or were they lying for the past year? How many individuals died as a result of being denied potential lifesaving treatment?

The credulous cult of lockdown

The credulous cult of lockdown

THE former Supreme Court judge, Lord Sumption, summed the case up with searing clarity: lockdown is a religious cult.

On Julia Hartley-Brewer’s Talk Radio show, he said the government ‘have been preaching the gospel of lockdown for eight months. The fact is they (lockdowns) do not work. If we were all to be sedated, locked in wooden boxes permanently and fed by robots, that might work.’

Provinces should impose tougher COVID-19 restrictions now, says WHO Flunkie

OTTAWA – Canada’s chief public health officer is calling for tougher COVID-19 restrictions to be imposed immediately in many parts of the country as new case numbers continue to rise.

Provinces like Ontario still have hotspots where the epidemic is not under control, Dr. Theresa Tam told reporters in Ottawa on Friday, and the situation threatens to overwhelm critical-care workers.

Tam said provinces need to re-evaluate the measures they have in effect now because case numbers are continuing to grow.
