Covid Policy Tactics Were Borrowed from the Vietnam War
EXTRACTED KEY POINTS:
▶️ justifications for starting the War and the Lockdowns were similarly questionable
▶️ the stated mission was changed after intervention began
▶️ last far longer than governments had suggested in their original rollouts
▶️ dubious experts who were/are the faces and drivers of government policy
▶️ government officials misleadingly used fake statistics to advance their agendas
▶️ the government mistakenly relied on human confinement to eliminate elusive foes
▶️ the experts ignored the larger context of the challenges presented, thus causing vast, unnecessary collateral damage
▶️ governments failed to recognize the limits and costs of intervention
▶️ decision-makers unjustly and evilly shifted burdens from those who had already lived a long time to a younger generation who had the most vital life to lose
▶️ striving to fulfill such unrealistic pledges in these parallel situations cost many people dearly
▶️ zero tolerance
▶️ created economic winners and losers
▶️ the more affluent have been insulated from the suffering experienced by those who live hand to mouth
▶️ the government implemented technical solutions that were falsely touted as game-changers
▶️ governments also failed to consider the longer-term effects of their drastic interventions
▶️ government printed so much money that it will cause economy-distorting inflation that will stress individuals and families for decades
▶️ Partisan politics strongly tainted both the Vietnam and Coronavirus responses
▶️ Presidential history might repeat itself in the pandemic Era
▶️ Eventually, a consensus will emerge that the Coronavirus response was, like the Vietnam War, a colossal, politically-driven, panic-driven, intergenerationally unjust, deeply destructive overreaction that caused far more harm than they prevented
