Molly McCann cuts through the propaganda fog at TheFederalist. Here’s the opening section:
Pretending COVID Is An Emergency Is Killing
America
There is no justification for the continued suspension of the American
form of self-government that secures all our individual rights and liberties.
The Western world is living a
massive COVID lie. That lie is strangling the life out of liberty, and it will
destroy our constitutional order if we do not end this horrifying charade.
A
recent article in The Guardian discussing France’s vaccine passport
unconsciously provides the perfect example. It describes the Great Plague that
struck Marseille in 1720 (the final contortion of the Black Death), noting that
it “kill[ed] more than half of the city’s population.”
“[S]truggl[ing] to find a delicate
balance between halting the spread of the disease and damaging vital commerce,”
the city authorities, The Guardian tells us, ordered travelers “to carry a
‘bill of health’ and ships arriving at the Mediterranean port underwent a
40-day cordon sanitaire or quarantine.”
“Three hundred years on,” The
Guardian seriously intones, “President Emmanuel Macron is walking an equally
tricky tightrope . . .” Hopefully, you spotted the glaring problem with this
comparison. In 1720, the Great Plague in Marseille killed more than
half the city’s population.
We have gotten to the point in this
“pandemic” where government leaders and a worryingly high percentage of the
American people are acting like COVID is a crisis on par with Marseille’s Great
Plague. We have been buried in facts, figures, mountains of data, constantly
shifting information, misinformation, and more. We are relentlessly briefed by
the media about rising infection rates or the current capacity of local ICUs.
But cut through it all and ask —
how many Americans are dying? According to Johns Hopkins, the fatality rate of
COVID in the United States is 1.7 percent, which means
that 98.3 percent survive. That takes into account all deaths, including people
who had underlying conditions and the elderly. Excluding those who are
obviously high-risk, the survival rate is close to 100 percent.
