While being in a blood-red county in the blood-red state of Tennessee did, to some degree, protect my family from the bulk of the Covid-related insanity that gripped the world from March 2020 and beyond, we hardly went unscathed. Our governor, Bill Lee, ordered schools closed from mid-March until the end of the school year. When classes resumed in the Fall, most schools, including ours, required and mercilessly enforced masking, social distancing, and other useless interventions that, over the long haul, caused far more harm than good. …
In a similar vein, the author argues, with evidence, that had China not locked down as hard and fast as it did, perhaps the rest of the world wouldn’t have either. Looking back, it’s beyond stunning that so many Western leaders at the time instinctively looked at China, totalitarian Communist China, and thought, ‘That’s the ticket!’ But here we are.
Interestingly, Zweig delves into how so many supposedly freedom-loving people in representative democracies fell for the nonsense hook, line, and sinker. By “setting the parameters of what was rational,” he writes, the public health powers-that-be “defined reality.” And the media, as he critiques thoroughly and in excruciating detail in the book, was more than happy to go along.
That’s really just the tip of the iceberg here. If you want to fully understand how the freest country on earth went absolutely mad when presented with a crisis, and how, given a basic understanding of evidentiary logic, things could have gone entirely the other way, you need to read this book.
As it turned out, everything, every closure, every mandate, every restriction, and even every ‘vaccine,’ did far more harm than good. It was all for nothing. ALL of it. No doubt, many, if not most, of the leaders during that era meant well, but their failure to take even the most basic data into account when making decisions should disqualify them from ever being in such a position again.
In a just society, all of them would be put on trial and held to account for the damage they caused. If that ever happens, Zweig’s devastating, meticulously researched account would be all the prosecution would need to obtain a conviction. And that’s probably the strongest endorsement I could possibly give.
The author of the article gives a good rendition of his thinking and the Zweig’s research into the whole plandemic disaster. China, China of all places, is the basic model of how we imposed COVID countermeasures. China, where they were welding the doors shut on the apartments and apartment buildings. China, where the people spent evenings shouting from their balconies to get food because they were starving to death in their welded shut apartments. China, where the current population, by some astute observers is estimated to be only 485,000,000 people, contrary to all official estimates. China, where the numbers of the cell phone users has fallen drastically during the plandemic. To me, it looks like our overlords are Chinese tyrant wannabes? What do you think of this situation? When are the trials and tribunals going to start? Are the penalties going to be commensurate and proportional with the crimes?
