A RARE RATIONAL VOICE AT THIS TIME OF MADNESS!
Fellow Substacker Tim Ellison delivers a solid counterargument to the “science” of fear and loathing that popped up after Covid 19 hit us all — which continues to wreak havoc across economies and livelihoods the world over and prepares the ground for an enormous wave of psychiatric emergencies.
Straight rational talk. Five stars.

Lockdowns
The real Science, until this “Pandemic”, has been simple: Isolate the sick (i.e., if you are really feeling sick, maybe you should stay home from work or school and have some chicken soup, or even better, get outside and have some sunshine). (On the Other-Other-Hand, I remember the landscaper I once worked for who was feeling sick and said, “Let’s go out tear up this road and do some work”). And I remember all the times I went to work with multiple bandannas to blow my nose, and that was just perfectly normal.
Anyway, the new false “Follow-the-Science” Religion has been to isolate everyone, close all the schools, all the small businesses, engage in anti-social-isolation and mask-wearing — for which there was never any science. (Remember the good old days when you knew you were sick and didn’t need to get a PCR test?).
We now have DATA showing the new false religion doesn’t work — the data show the progress of the “pandemic” in all the 50 states with varying degrees of lock-downs, and hundreds of countries with varying degrees of lockdowns. When one plots either “cases” or “deaths” vs. degree of lockdown, the data show that the locked-down municipalities do worse than non-locked-down municipalities (though the statistical significance is small enough that one should probably merely say that there is no effect)1. Ditto with mask-wearing. Yet, some still persist …
So, to summarize, while there was never any science to support the lock-downs, anti-social-distancing and mask-wearing, there are now Data also proving that these actions are one of the worse blunders in the history of medicine, or the “Follow-the-Science” Religion. Yet, some still persist.
