The Love of Lockdowns
Here we go again: a big new empirical study hit big media this weekend. It argues that lockdowns were wonderful. They saved lives. A close look at the study, however, reveals that it starts the clock fully four months into lockdowns, thereby wiping out the whole grim history of March-June 2020 in the Northeast. It concludes that open states had the most deaths.
The trick here is obvious to anyone who follows the way these studies are conducted but very few do. All we get in the end are these preposterous headlines instead. And what are they for? To whitewash the history, for sure, but also to prepare for a round two under some other pretense.
You know they will try. Already, the federal agency in charge has issued an Emergency Use Authorization for the Bird flu vaccine. That means the elimination of liability for harm. In other words, nothing has changed.
Well, something has changed: there is a tremendous amount of public skepticism now extant. Is it enough to stop the next lockdown? We shall see.
