In the early days when Dr. Katz offered his prescription, there was time to tailor public policy to "Protect the truly vulnerable" and restore a "Sense of calm" to society, while allowing the vast majority of people to "Develop mild coronavirus infections," thus advancing "Natural herd immunity." Now, well over a month since the lockdowns began, turning Americans' social and financial lives back toward normalcy has proven to be about as smooth as a battleship reversing course amidst a sea of jagged icebergs.
A "Draconian statewide lockdown," and it hasn't become New York.
Just weeks ago, the notion that all-inclusive public lockdowns of healthy Americans "Save lives" was assumed to be a given.
The toll on Sweden's economy was mild compared to ours, to say the least, but what of its Covid-19 toll? Much in keeping with the other data we've long seen, the virus harmed a very specific demographic, and not significantly more so than other countries which completely locked down.
Not only does Professor Giesecke seem to understand the nature of epidemiological models better than Dr. Fauci, but he also seems to better understand the societal and economic impact of the lockdowns, which Dr. Fauci has flippantly referred to.
All of this presents a serious problem for anyone defending the continued assault on the world's largest economy in favor of widespread social and commercial lockdowns to combat Covid-19.
In spite of the efforts of those who have a vested interest in justifying the lockdowns and the economic damage, the truth is snowballing, and it all suggests a very disturbing conclusion - America could have achieved a similar health outcome without destroying millions of businesses, incomes, and lives, without weakening our nation's fiscal solvency by trillions of dollars, and most importantly, without compromising our most fundamental American rights.
