Best article on the failure to deal with covid I have read yet. I have reposted and pushed it to the max. I will soon write a short summary/comment on it in my own blog. What makes it especially useful is the connection it makes from most of our present problems to the failure to really eliminate fascism after ww2
Hello, Gauntlet people. Here is the link to the response to this article I promised. It took some time because I decided it needed developing into a full-on blog article. Also, I had other things going on.
I hope it makes very clear what the real connection is between liberalism and fascism. Also, where the 'vax only' versus 'antivax' conflict comes from, how it connects to other conflicts in society. Happy Mothers day.
Thanks for this. So valuable, and such a relief to have my own long-standing take on this issue reflected, when most have swallowed the KoolAid of political/economic/personal expediency, the science be damned. As a 71-year old with some extra risk factors, I've remained a COVID virgin by resisting the mainstream insistence on "getting back to normal." In the age of climate collapse and "the Pandemicene," there IS no more "normal" - a fact that few are willing to admit or adjust to. Of course adjustment is easier for those of us who retired before COVID hit. But the world has changed, and younger people - sooner or later - would be wise to let go of the assumptions and habits of the old "normal," which are dangerously outdated. In these challenging times, my heart goes out to the young, who have such rough waters ahead to navigate.
4 years ago most of us held the view that public health measures were a good thing now most of us hold the view that public health measures are a bad thing.
The problem is that public health measures are ultimately necessary (not just for Covid).
