Why? Per Whitmer, schools were only closed for 3 months.
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
Thomas Sowell
One of my favorite Sowell quotes and someone wisely posted it on Twitter in relation to this idea.
My wife and I changed over to a family doctor in our town who WOULD prescribe IVM and HCQ if you showed symptoms (even without a “positive test”).
They came after his license. They are the state medical board and local health officials. They now claim that they were following national board recommendations and public health authorities like NIH, CDC, and others.
Yes, doctors were worried about being sued if they went outside of protocols, but without those protocols and guidance from centralized authority they would have had the freedom to openly discuss ALL options with patients about what the patient wanted to try. They not only removed that but they published big pharma funded studies that lied about the treatment options!
This was a top-down approach to a problem that reeked of politics. They were able to change an election, enrich themselves, and assume powers that no government would have dreamed of only years ago. The media/big tech fanned the flames of panic and acted to suppress any skepticism of the official line acting as a co-conspirator.
HCQ/IVM were maligned as dangerous drugs when there is NO evidence that is true - a deliberate lie. They killed people. Yes, I said it. Negligent manslaughter at the very least.
The “professionals” for health in our nation are so in the pocket of big pharma that they would not even tell people to take supplemental vitamin D and other safe and abundant supplements that would have greatly reduced illness. These studies are clear, but they were completely ignored.
Why? Simple answer..... IF there was an effective treatment regime and preventative care the pressure to mandate an experimental “vaccine” would have lost steam AND the lock-downs would have ended completely changing the 2020 election.
This was a massive fraud on the entire world and people MUST be accountable for it.
Randi Weingarten carries the stench of communism...
I know some wish that Trump had never mentioned HCQ because what you wrote above was true. However, I don’t think it would have changed what happened.
The performance of our government at all levels was scandalous and Covid might be the best example of why it is a mistake for us to run everything in our nation out of Washington DC.
Local and state officials are more accountable to voters in their jurisdiction, but almost without exception they looked to corrupted institutions for guidance.
I’ve been voting for 45+ years. Not once has a health care professional been on the ballot
I believe it was Walter Williams who once said that “institutions” are dangerous because we don’t elect them and those we do elect allow them to run things.
I am sure I was not as articulate as him, but our institutions (government, media, national boards, academia, etc etc) have a stranglehold on our nations IF local and state government follow their guidance.
DeSantis has this correct and understands his authority under the constitution as a governor. A few others do or sort of get it, but most of them follow along.
We need a “decentralization” movement in our nation and now is the time because the Supreme Court seems to understand this is what the constitution means.
They took down playground basketball backboards and filled skateparks with sand. Evil creeps. Never forgive.
The PREP Act and CARES Act already immunized many of the people involved.

If I am not mistaken, it protected the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry from liability. I’m not so sure it said anything about shielding the education system from criticism or lawsuits due consequences of closing schools for so long. The teachers unions being the ones to push for the long extensions of ‘remote learning’
I agree. I live in a major B10 college town with lots of experts. I haven’t seen any experts of any sort on the local news in ages.
‘Seems to me that there is still mostly fog, still strongly worded emotional opinions on both sides, accusations about data accuracy, where we even have data.’
but not a lot of ‘fog’ about the propriety of Sweden’s covid policies, right...?
Canada will soon be force medicated the unvaccinated as mentally ill
FTX Slush Fund Bankrolled Fake Studies To Hide Covid Therapeutics
FDA now claims that their suppression of Ivermectin was just a suggestion. Yeah, no
No amnesty.
