At what point do we admit to ourselves that only an insane society risks massive loss of life among its children in order to procure the ability to risk massive loss of life among their parents in order to avoid massive losses of money among those who don’t care about either one?

Over the years, slowly but surely, we have painted ourselves into a corner on a whole range of issues, where we can no longer say or do what makes the most sense to us, but only what is considered to be politically correct. - Thomas Sowell

Two words - Herd immunity. Every "scientific" projection has been off; way off. The death-rate is small. This is a bad flu. The "risks", as they were are outweighed but the benefits. An insane society shuts down for 6+ months, restricts freedom and kills livelihoods.

This 🧵 isn't really about the paper on trees 2018/19. It's about disaster memory and the difficulty in our human mind to process & act to prevent a similar future disaster. And about the mantra "save the economy" as if it were an endangered species like trees or humans.

As with everything in unregulated capitalism, money is the ONLY decision-driver. Covid gros overreaction is really about power, control and money via mandated global vaccinations. Using fear to grab control
