COVID-19 and Resisting Government Malfeasance
The American Thinker ^ | December 26, 2020 | Spike Hampson

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the governments of the United States have mistreated the citizens of the country by destroying their means of making a living and limiting their freedom of movement. Government powers have been used to shut down enterprises, knowing full well that people's livelihoods depend on their operation. Government edicts have prohibited people from moving freely in small localities and even between states.

Individual citizens have the right to move about and do work for the purpose of maintaining themselves and their families as long as their work is not harming others. The government's judicial system is authorized to interfere only if that work does such harm. A tradition has developed that the executive branches of our governments can, in the event of an emergency, interfere in these rights to work and to move about, but the understanding always has been that the interference would be a temporary, stopgap measure that would be withdrawn as soon as possible.

The COVID-19 pandemic was at first a mysterious adversary. Its infectiousness and deadliness were unknown. So the citizens initially accepted the imposition of limits to their innate rights to move freely and work, but since the arrival in our country of this new virus, we have clearly learned that:

  1. COVID-19 is not as deadly as initially feared.
  2. The risk of death is very much limited to those who are elderly and infirm.
  3. Various low-cost and low-risk medications effectively treat the disease.
  4. Public health officials cannot accurately forecast the spread of the virus.
  5. Tabulations of deaths from the virus are inflated.
  6. Nobody knows how effective masks are.
  7. And government directives are arbitrary, inconsistent, and contradictory.

Citizens not only need to work with their respective state lawmakers to amend their state constitutions to make state health official an elected, popular vote position, but also amend to make time-limited by law quarantines called by governors, mayors and health officials automatically trigger recall elections for those positions.
