CONFRONTING THE MADNESS  – OVERNIGHT:  We are getting warnings every day from prominent physicians that the response to the newest wave of Covid 19 is way over the top.  From Breitbart:   

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Faulkner Focus,” Fox News Medical Contributor and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Professor Dr. Marty Makary argued that the biggest failure in the coronavirus pandemic response is the failure to tailor policies based on individual risk, and that “those who have chosen not to get vaccinated and have not had COVID, they do so at their own individual risk. We’ve never seen this level of martial law and paternalism to prevent mild infection in 300 million Americans.”

Makary said, [relevant remarks begin around 4:45] “Look, the greatest failure of the pandemic response by public health officials has been the failure to recognize that the risk of this virus is not equally distributed in the population, and while it may have made sense when we didn’t know what we were dealing with to have one simple message for everybody. Now, it has to be custom-tailored. That means if — look, if somebody has no immunity and they’re old and vulnerable, they’ve got no vaccinated and no natural immunity, sure, they need to be very careful. We need to protect those people right now. But the risk in a young, healthy person is very different from somebody in that situation. We’ve never acknowledged that we need to custom-tailor the policies according to the individuals. And those who have chosen not to get vaccinated and have not had COVID, they do so at their own individual risk. We’ve never seen this level of martial law and paternalism to prevent mild infection in 300 million Americans.”

COMMENT:  Well said.  Look, I'm vaccinated.  I'm on the short list to be boosted.  I have nothing against vaccines that work, or at least reduce risk.  But others have individual circumstances and medical histories.  The advice should be to consult your physician. 

Socialists know that the fastest way to power is to promote a crisis, and use it to generate fear.  People understandably turn to government.   We've had the Covid 19 virus with us for two years.  It's being successfully fought.  We know it's not going to wipe out civilization.  And yet we see various establishments acting as if the world were at death's door.

Calm down.  And tell that to the president as well.
