A powerful essay in the American Institute for Economic
Research asks the question: Is the lockdown the best way to minimize casualties
in this pandemic?
Using historical examples beginning with Volataire’s words,
“those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities,”
the author reasons that lockdowns are not going to save the world from
COVID-19, if for no other reason than every time the lockdowns are eased,
infections go up.
There are other myths, mostly scare tactics, that people are
willingly believing that need to be stopped now, too, the author asserts — and
it’s time to start questioning what is credulous and what is not.
