Americans Need to Learn From Extreme Lockdowns in Shanghai: Public Health Expert
epoch times ^ | 30 April A.D. 2022 | Masooma Haq and Steve Lance

Posted on 04/30/2022 5:15:57 PM PDT by lightman

Psychiatrist Carole Lieberman, who holds a master’s degree in public health, hopes that Americans will learn from the draconian measures that the citizens of Shanghai, China, are being subjected to under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). She warns that if Americans do not stand up for their freedoms, then authorities may take away more of our fundamental rights in the name of public health.

“Yes, China is the ultimate nightmare,” Lieberman told the host of NTD’s Capitol Report, Steve Lance, in a recent interview. “I hope Americans realize that if we keep being sheep and following all the rules, like the lockdowns and so on in America, we could end up like that.”

The citywide lockdown in Shanghai, China, started on April 1, after a partial lockdown began on the east side of the city on March 28. Currently, Shanghai residents say they are running short on provisions because of the lockdown.

Shanghai residents told the Chinese Epoch Times that they are facing a food crisis. Sealed inside their homes, many residents have taken to social media to plead for help as they are unable to obtain food. In addition, business activity has been severely disrupted, with delays in trucking and deliveries.

Here in the United States, Lieberman said that public health officials seemed to be motivated by power and money, specifically, allowing pharmaceutical companies to profit from the mass vaccine campaign. She said this is wrong because scientists do not know the long-term effects of the vaccines, especially on young children.

“[They are] even going further and saying that the kids have to have vaccines—little kids … It’s questionable what the research says in terms of adults, but there is no way that there could have been enough research in terms of kids because kids have organs that are still developing,” said Lieberman. “So, you don’t know what’s going to happen five years from now.”

Meanwhile, under the Chinese regime’s “zero-COVID” policy, people who test positive are sent to centralized quarantine, including the elderly and children. Reports have recently emerged that crying toddlers were separated from parents in quarantine facilities in Shanghai, sparking outrage over the strict measures.

Lieberman said she has read stories of the CCP using drones to relay messages to building residents, telling them to curb their desire for freedom.

“[The CCP has] been having drones and robots shouting out to people, you know, ‘control your soul’s desire for freedom, control your soul desire for freedom,’ because of the fact that people are protesting and some people are jumping off balconies, and kids are wearing hazmat suits, but you know, [the CCP is] trying to control the protests so that they don’t get out of control.”

Lieberman is critical of public health officials frightening the public into submission and warns that they could try it again if people don’t realize this and stop complying with unscientific rules.

“In America, I think it was a test run to see just how many Americans would become sheep and just follow blindly. It’s the fear, it’s the idea of generating fear that then causes people to just listen to so-called science or so-called arbiters of science, because people are scared.”

‘If a woman supports conservative causes and there is no man to see her do it, is she still wrong?’

Depends on how the woman defines conservative.

Thanks for proving what I’ve been saying all along: political party has a much stronger effect on responsiveness to COVID-related fear than gender does. There is not a single category on that chart in which Republican women are more fearful than Democratic men.

The headline made it seem like she was saying to emulate ChiComs.

As for the reasons for these lockdowns, I believe the Chcoms are doing for ulterior motives.

Just as here was for ulterior motives.

According to that data, Democratic men are actually women.

I would like all the despicable, pro clot-shot Fearpers to start commenting out their abject apologies.

I completely suspect anyone who is not embracing dirty damned confucians sucking the last gasp of Zyklon-19 out of China's failed bioweapon, but failing to celebrate it!

The CCP positioned America as their permanent sworn enemy sometime just before Mao ejected Jakob Rosenfeld in '49 LOFL.

They send fentanyl over here by the tons as straight-up revenge for the opium wars. Xi promised to bankroll Putin's genocide if "Ru rill just rait runtil my Rormypics are rover."

F communists today, f them yesterday, f them forever.

Good point. As near as I can tell, China has 4,000-something total dead from Covid!

The problem with this bizarre theory is, of course, that China already has maximum control of its society. They have no need to enact lockdowns for control. They are maxed out on control.

What they have is the original owner’s manual of the virus. The way they are behaving suggests they know things the rest of the world does not — perhaps the mutation schedule and how bad the next will be. Their numbers justify their extreme measures only if that is the situation. They know what comes next.

It ain’t control. They have more societal control than even Myanmar. They are maxed out on that. This is about something they know about the virus.

"extremely wrong in the beginning. I said there was no way Philly area people would put up with masking BS. I was very wrong and disappointed."

I also have been disappointed by people just going along without question, masking.

(IMO Forcing adults and children to breathe through dirty cloths for 2 years, even during physical education, has just been insanity on parade.)

But...there is a possible explanation for it:

No one ever thought DOCTORS would lie to them.

And no one could even imagine that "doctors" would put politics ahead of the well being of their patients, even the well being of children.

(Will anyone be surprised if we come to find out that 2 years of forced masking has done some kind of damage to everyone?
And what about the psychological damage done to people? No one is talking about this.)

The reality is that people trusted doctors to have their well being at heart.

Who would have thought they would go a long with an elitist scheme to control everyone? Very sad, but at least it provides a reason for people not questioning the masking.

Someone said years ago, never believe any numbers that come out of a communist/socialist country, especially China.
