Healthcare

Adopting socialized medicine – “universal health care” – would not remedy the well-documented gap in U.S. life expectancy.

Some doctors aren’t afraid to make the case for freedom, both in medical care and in all other aspects of our lives. One of them is Dr. Miguel Faria.

The lockdowns did not improve health outcomes. They did devastate economic outcomes.

If you express any misgivings about the covid policies, people are quick to retort: how do you propose we should have handled the pandemic instead? Three experts came up with an answer, which they put into writing and co-signed in the Massachusetts town of Great Barrington on October 4, 2020.

Fauci could have used his time in Congress to give a basic explanation. He did not. He chose to spread irrational fear instead. 

Virtually all discussion of health care policy today avoids explicit reference to underlying principles.

FDA Policies Keep People Sick and Create a False Sense of Security

We cannot allow that to happen.

The insulin pricing problem is a result of the government regulating business.

The health-care market has failed to produce high-quality, low-cost medicine for two reasons: consumers are insulated from the cost of medical care by third-party payers, and information on the performance of competing physicians is not available.

When bureaucrats speak of their stakeholders, they mean their employees and the industry they manage, not the citizens.

The CDC’s great lockdown, mandate, and unaccountable bureaucratic “follow the science” people control experiment was an enormous flop. Abolish the CDC.

Two years later the CDC has embraced the Great Barrington Declaration rather than doing a “quick and devastating takedown” as Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci called for the day after its release.

The bulk of Dr. Deborah Birx’s book is a brag fest about how she kept subverting the White House’s push to open up the economy – that is, allow people to exercise their rights and freedoms.

Among the best tennis players of all time, and also possibly the healthiest human being on the planet who is obsessive-compulsive about his fitness, Djokovic was unable to play in the Australian Open because he refused to take a Covid vaccine. Now he faces the repeat prospect of the Biden administration barring him from entering to compete in the US Open, even though unvaccinated Americans can compete.

In his zeal to protect the nonexistent entity known as “the public,” Fauci ignores the individuals who comprise the public. Individuals don’t matter to Fauci or any other would-be tyrant.

Eban’s article adds tremendous detail about the great lengths to which our Fauci-led cabal of officials worked hard to suppress dissent on the question of lab-vs-natural origin.

The vaccine for this virus should never have been mandated. Having done so, public health has done itself deep harm. One wonders if the reputation of vaccines in general can recover. 

This battle is much larger than the legal status of Ivermectin. What’s really at stake here is the idea of medical freedom itself. And freedom is a precondition for scientific inquiry and the search for the truth. It is also essential for health.

By all means, forget about Covid and live life as normally as possible in defiance of those who live to foster fear. But, never forget the disastrous Covid restrictions that created such destruction. We cannot let anyone off the hook, much less pretend that the policy disaster that created billions of personal tragedies never happened. 

Yesterday, Florida followed Norway by not recommending the Covid vaccine for children. The CDC recommends them. 

The science behind pandemic management needs to be decentralized and include genuine discussion and debate rather than allowing a small cabal to take full power while censoring everyone else.
