End the Lockdown
"There is no doubt in my mind that when we come to look back on this, the damage done by lockdown will exceed any saving of lives by a huge factor.” Michael Levitt, Stanford Medical School professor of structural biology - 2013 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry
Lunacy is abundantly evident among the some of the elected leaders of the nation. Leading the parade is none other than Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi who has proposed that in the next stimulus bill, every American get $2000.00 per month. Is it early onset dementia or is she coming out to the closet as the socialist some have long suspected? If the Speaker truly cared about the financial health of the country, she would be working hand in glove with the President and Republican lawmakers to restart the economy in a sane manner, rather than continue the national economic suicide we are witnessing.
The death toll is high from the China Flu, no doubt about it, but the accuracy of the reported numbers is widely questioned. Even Dr. Deborah Birx, a leader of the Pandemic response team, stated that she doesn’t trust the numbers from the CDC. The problem is that the pandemic solution appears to be entirely politically driven. You’d have to be living in a cave off the grid in Northern Alaska, with no media or internet access to believe it’s not. Reports are trickling out that death certificates routinely state the cause is the China Flu (Covad-19, for the politically correct folks) when in fact, it was not.
Everyone with a political IQ higher than a sparrow knows that the 95% of the national media hate republicans and Trump while venerating any democrat. Ask Tara Reade about how her sexual harassment allegation by Joe Biden is being reported. That stated, there is no investigative curiosity in the national media about the numbers being cooked or mis-reported. The gloomy narrative must be maintained because President Trump must be defeated in November as a result of his horrific economy.
The Friday job numbers reported the worst since the Great Depression, 14.7% unemployment rate. Sadly, these numbers are almost gleefully reported by some news readers on over-the-air broadcast channels. The bias is palatable. How can any right-minded journalist take pleasure in reporting the data and bashing the President for something that clearly isn’t his fault? Given the “circled wagons around Joe Biden” by the media (see Tara Reade), and the discounting of his multiple gaffes, the bias is not surprising or new.
Meanwhile millions are out of work while obstructionist leaders resist the reopening of their states and municipalities. The record shows these are mostly Democrats in lockstep with the national DNC leadership. Republican leaders who reopen are derided as heartless, not caring about human lives. What a load of horse dung that is.
Reality check – over 55% of the deaths reported are citizens over 65 years old with underlying medical conditions. Furthermore, the death toll in nursing homes is major. Ask any doctor about the vulnerability of compromised immune systems in older folks and they’ll tell you the facts. These are the most probable victims of the China Flu. Sequester, quarantine, and take care of those people and get the country back to work. The cold hard facts are that if the economy continues to crater, this nation won’t have the means to take care of a flock of chickens.
The damage needs to end as Professor Levitt states, and the media needs to stop honking for a particular party or election outcome, fueled by their hatred of the President.
