COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Douglas MacKinnon 4/28
Just over two months ago, I spoke with an infectious disease
doctor who not only believed that millions of Americans had already been
exposed to COVID-19, but that the lockdowns were counterproductive and we
needed to let herd Immunity take hold in our nation. Two months ago.
With each passing day, we are told that multiple more
Americans were in-fact exposed to the virus than the “experts” suspected.
Or more to the point…guessed.
I will keep asking this question until the
groupthink-thought-police come to arrest me: “When has it ever been
sound medical or governmental practice to sacrifice – and destroy – the
economic, mental, and physical well-being of the 99 percent to MAYBE protect
and save the one percent...or less? When?”
This same doctor I spoke with also stressed to me that the
“experts” our nation and the world relied upon to shut it down, could not
answer one simple question. That being: Is COVID-19 less or more
lethal than the Hong Kong flu pandemic (H3N2) of 1968? A pandemic that
mirrored COVID-19 in that it was highly infectious and was primarily lethal to
those over 65 with pre-existing conditions. A pandemic that infected
millions of Americans and killed approximately 100,000 out of a then population
of about 200 million. A pandemic which worldwide, killed upwards of 4
million people.
As of this writing, worldwide, there have been approximately
210,000 deaths. And does anyone else find it troubling and highly
suspicious that the United States alone is responsible for slightly more than
one-quarter of all deaths worldwide? How could we possibly account
for one-quarter of all the COVID-19 deaths in the entire world? Easy, if say,
you start counting pianos falling out windows and dropping on people as
COVID-19 related deaths.
As we are also learning with each passing day, in order to
justify their highly controversial, extremely punishing, draconian lockdowns,
the handful of politicians, officials, and experts who upended our lives and
ordered those lockdowns, are being very creative and very liberal as to what
constitutes a COVID-19 fatality, all of which begs the question: Are there any
ethical and honest reporters left within the mainstream media who could
investigate this clearly duplicitous – but officially condoned – counting
method?
The little real anecdotal evidence accidentally seeping into
mainstream media indicates that the actual fatality rate in our nation from
COVID-19 is less than the fear-merchants are displaying on their “Death
Dashboards.” Potentially, far less. Unbiased professional reporting could
tell us the real numbers.
But then, that’s the rub. Much of the liberal
mainstream media signed up for team “Doom and Gloom” from day one. At
first, they did so to create as much fear and panic as possible so they could
use COVID-19 as the mother of all click-bait cash cows. Once that was
accomplished, many in that same liberal media chose to keep the fear-mongering
going as a political tool.
Tens of millions of now desperate, depressed, angry,
unemployed Americans, coupled with thousands of small business owners now out
of business, have been told for weeks to “suck it up and do as you’re told” by
politicians, academics, federal officials, media talking-heads, and celebrities
who either have guaranteed, gold-plated jobs and healthcare plans, or
seven-figure salaries, and millions in the bank.
The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution
prohibits “cruel and unusual punishment” to be inflicted upon criminal
defendants. And yet, that same Constitutional consideration is not being
afforded to those tens of millions of Americans whose lives have been
negatively affected, or even destroyed, by draconian lockdowns which do amount
to the most “cruel and unusual punishment” in the history of our Republic.
And then, from within that, tens of millions of American
numbers, comes the – purposely – uncounted number of our fellow citizens who
have died as a direct result of the lockdowns. Deaths from suicide,
stress, drug and alcohol abuse, physical abuse, or those who had serious
pre-existing medical conditions but were scared away from the hospitals and
life-saving treatment. Do those deaths
count? Are those lost Americans of any importance? Do facts even matter
when COVID-19 has been turned into a political football? If they still do, then
some of those facts are blaring that the fatality rate for this virus is 10 to
40 times lower than the “World is Ending” estimates spit out by faulty computer
models.
Dr. Scott W. Atlas – the David and Joan Traitel Senior
Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and former Chief of
Neuroradiology at Stanford Medical Center – recently looked at the numbers in
New York City, a city that became the epicenter of the virus in the United
States. Dr. Atlas – who is predictably shunned by the mainstream media because
he does prefer using actual facts and statistics – recently reported that the
rate of death for all people ages 18 to 45 is 0.01 percent. For people
under 18, the rate of death is zero per 100,000. And of almost 8,000 NYC
COVID-19 deaths fully investigated for underlying conditions, 99.2 percent had
an underlying illness.
The truth must matter more than flawed computer models and
experts and officials drunk on power. Will
anyone be held accountable for what will surely come to be known as the most
tragic case of governmental, medical, and media malpractice in the history of
the world? I doubt it.
“It's time for all the governors who care about their
citizens to put an end to the lockdown. The longer it stays in place, the more
permanent damage is done. It will turn out to be the biggest national mistake
in U.S. history, thanks to "the science." President Trump needs to go
back to trusting his own good instincts, for they are more dependable than the
faulty science that has undergirded this fiasco.”

“I’ve said since the Kavanaugh saga that the #MeToo movement
lost its way when it went from ‘listen to women’ to ‘believe women.’ That’s not
advocacy; that’s injustice. Now it’s worse, as it’s gone from ‘believe women’
to ‘believe Democrats.’”

communist regime willing to let them die to save face. It was an artificial
