Until the year 2020, microscopic pathogens were considered an acceptable risk to in life. Physical health is not the highest human good. Last year’s response to sarsCov2 overruled years of precedent (standing by those things previously decided & widely accepted - i.e. mitigation strategies for those most at risk, herd immunity among the non/low/med risk populations). Subsequent policies have been shown to be shortsighted, thoughtless, distracted, negligent & wasteful. The most dangerous mistake made at the start of the search for truth related to sarsCov2, was to buy into the false premises coming from China, which then created a defective prism through which all other evidence was then perceived. Those in authority who came to such flawed assumptions are therefore deeply invested in not having been wrong. The foundational supposition of news media coverage of the pandemic has been that lockdowns work and that governmental restrictions on human activities have direct control over the spread of the virus, which is shown time and again to be incorrect by those driven by data, logic, and un-politicized science. We really don’t have much control over this endemic virus in the long run, and that the calamitous destruction to society caused by the lockdowns has likely exceeded any real benefits. Naturally acquired immunity does exist and therefore it is misguided to mandate vaccination for sarsCov2.
