Former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson -- who has quickly become of one of the key figures in a growing movement questioning the strategy to lock down large sections of the country in response to the coronavirus crisis -- is warning of a “big pivot” in rhetoric from politicians and health officials pushing the strategy.

“Yep, the public health folks, after a month of promising that within two weeks we'd be near collapse, are now making the big pivot to the ‘second wave,’” Berenson tweeted, referring to a new talking point he argues will be used to justify continued restrictions

He tweeted in response to an Atlantic article -- "Our Pandemic Summer" -- that cited experts who agreed that "life as most people knew it cannot fully return."

"I think people haven’t understood that this isn’t about the next couple of weeks,” one infectious-disease epidemiologist told the outlet. “This is about the next two years.”

My only hope is that when the taxes start drying up these authoritarians will have to relent and re-open the economy.

Trump has to stand tall and not send the statists keeping the economy closed federal money. It's their heroin.

More people will die. We are destroying food supply chains that have developed over the last 50 years. Once critical pieces fall away, they won’t be easily replaced.

As soon as the first public official doesn't get a paycheck or defined pension check, they'll open it up.

No there won’t be if they are wise. The words Stafford Act should be enough to put their foolishness to bed.

Various predictions about this were made weeks ago around FR. No surprise. Another cartel for the POTUS to break up.

The Nazi democrats will try to stifle our freedom until they destroy our country. There are a lot of people who will lose their jobs over the next week or two. The demo-Nazi party better watch out. People tend to act violent when they lose everything they have.

Working with the Chicomms of course. They are bffs and have the same goals. Overthrow of the US with them installed as tin pot dictators for life.

Berenson is scheduled as George Noory’s guest on Coast to Coast tonight.

It might be worth staying up for.
