The Statists and the Blood On Their Hands

How Excessive Regulation Helped Ignite COVID-19’s Rampant Spread

“When historians of the future look back at the 2020 pandemic, the heroic work of Helen Y. Chu, a flu researcher at the University of Washington, will be worthy of recognition.

In late January, Chu was testing nasal swabs for the Seattle Flu Study to monitor influenza spread when she learned of the first case of COVID-19 in Washington state. She deemed it a pressing public health matter to document if and how the illness was spreading locally, so that early containment efforts could succeed. So she sought regulatory approval to adapt the Flu Study to test for the coronavirus, but the federal government denied the request because the original project was funded to study only influenza.

Aware of the urgency, Chu’s team bravely defied the order and conducted the testing anyway”

Read it. It’s enlightening as well as frightening.

Healthcare by regulation is death by government bureaucrats.

I want free market healthcare, not government permission to live.

 

The State is Infallible. Clearly, this was the fault of Trump and his supporters. Or the fault of capitalists.Or wreckers, or diverters.

 

Understand that statism is a fear driven culture. When the hordes are panicked then that suspends what little ability they have left to reason. That allows the ruling elistist to swoop in and "save the day" by suspending rights and gobbling up more power.

Just like with 9/11 those rights will never fully be restored either.
