When COVID-19 restrictions reduced his work schedule at the National Institutes of Health, Sam Smith decided to turn to another time-consuming job: applying to medical school.

He'd always wanted to go into medicine, but what was happening in the world had a big impact on the kind of medicine he hopes to practice. Now Smith wants to specialize in infectious diseases.

It occurred to me this morning on the drive to work that we should start calling the lockdown a "technocrat-made disaster."

The left always demonizes our policies with scary labels.

We need to learn how to return the favor.

“...there’s probably going to be another pandemic” in the future...”

Bet on it!

The weak assed population in large part has blindly allowed themselves to be totally cowed and broken by a disingenuous media and the deep state.

I think they believe if an idiot like the Quack Fauci can get a medical degree then anyone can get one.

applying to medical school.

and becoming a slave of big government which decides how much doctors will be paid for what they do, and what they are allowed to do.

This is the “Watergate Gate” reaction playing out again—a generation of students emulating Woodward and Bernstein heading to “journalism school” for the purpose of “changing the world”. This one will be even worse.

Captain Obvious. See CDC website about novel virus pandemics and note the at least several that happen each century.
