Ex-New York Times reporter Alex Berenson challenges the dire coronavirus models

As daily life across America is upended by the coronavirus crisis -- with mass business closures plunging the economy into freefall -- one former New York Times reporter is sounding the alarm about what he believes are flawed models dictating the aggressive strategy.

Alex Berenson has been analyzing the data on the crisis on a daily basis for weeks and has come to the conclusion that the strategy of shutting down entire sectors of the economy is based on modeling that doesn’t line up with the realities of the virus.

You might say plus or minus about Alex Berenson, but he challenges the wizards of medical marijuana by noting that their most prominent lead admits that the “medical” part was just a red herring to get legalization for recreational use, and Berenson also notes that massively excessive use leads to an uptick in adult onset schizophrenia with extreme violent tendencies. Think “hashashian” as the etymology of “assassin”.

I really hope so. You would think after the Patriot Act that people in this country would have wised up. Nope. I am not saying and have not said on here that this virus was serious, because it is.
What is really bothering me is that first the jumping through hoops continues and is getting more bizarre by the day. Second, people like Fauci and Gates are telling people it will never get back to “normal”. There will be MANDATORY vaccines probably sometime next year. You will not be allowed to do certain things or gather like you did in the past unless you show proof that you took the vaccine. Third, I have seen many videos of law enforcement looking for and arresting people for not “practicing social distancing”. Their neighbors are turning people in. And down the street there is some judge or politician letting hardened criminals free from jail “because of the virus”.
Fear is making people lose their minds....and give up their rights. Tyrannical rogue states around the world are watching. They don’t have to fire a shot. We are killing the republic all by ourselves.

Agree. But it's not just the economy which is being eroded:

For example, ln the limited instance when stepping out for groceries, we see grocery stores limiting supermarket access to fewer and fewer patrons to maintain the distance required under current social distancing protocol. Once inside, each aisle of the grocery store has arrows dictating the direction for the flow of traffic. Registers limit the distance between patrons . Diana points out that certain locations (LA, DC)_deny access to anyone not wearing a mask.

In the linked video, the host, Jason Goodman asks, how long before they limit access to any building or business unless patrons are willing to have their hands scanned for a chip which identifies vaccination records?
