Sure, and China should’ve been front and center in that.

So, the “leadership” of today is performing the same with respect to the illegal alien invasion. How do we punish them when it finally becomes obvious to even idiots (e.g. the left)?

It was the flu. 99.98% survivable. No extraordinary action was required.

Good grief. Didn’t out of control government do enough damage during the shamdemic?

Have We Learned Any Lessons?

We sure have. Ignore experts.

Everything’s easily solved, with 20/20 hindsight.

I could solve most of America’s problems now, with 20/20 hindsight, and I would do it by making sure that people back in 2020 don’t vote for Biden, or by making sure that the democrats didn’t cheat in that election.

Americans were primed to stick their heads between their own asses and turtle-up when the COVID charade was foisted on the planet.

Have we learned any lessons?

We’ve learned that our political master class absolutely adores fascism. They’ve made it our form of government.

“COVID-19 should have been attacked like a foreign invasion”

No it should have been investigated for the criminal scam it was.

What a WEAK article. I expected to learn something concrete. All I learned is we went into the pandemic with 19th century systems in place and that’s still where we are.

He writes that Israel and Europe had half the school lock-downs we had without mentioning teacher’s unions fighting re-opening tooth and nail.

If these are best examples they can extract from the book, it’s not very useful.

The best course of action should have been to allow it to run its course so the vast majority of the population would have natural immunity. That’s called herd immunity and there would not have been as many mutations or maybe no mutations that lengthen its impact.

Actually, the war against Covid was a lot like the Iraq and Afghanistan wars - our government lied to force us into it. Luckily, Trump was POTUS, so it didn’t last 20 years.

They were not mistakes. They were intentional.

What they’re saying is, the DOD-inspired, -devised, -implemented, -administered, -controlled, and -propagandized aspects of FedGov’s effort to respond to so-called COVID-19 (in other words, the whole shootin’ match) should not have been kept secret out of a naive concern that the brutal crushing and stamping out of precious domestic civil rights might not go down well with the populace.

It should have been allowed to run its course with zero government intervention.

I don’t know what they’re getting at. Trump shut down travel and they called him a racist. The medical establishment didn’t spend any effort studying the zinc+ionophore (e.g. ivermectin) as treatment or prophylactic. Instead they used it as an opportunity for political and financial gain. The whole thing was mishandled, but not by everyone. The establishment failed us.
