The #ZeroCovid Movement: Cult Dressed as Science

By

They are maniacally focused upon theories and models, and uninterested in what works in practice. They have no conception of human liberty or dignity. Rather than recognize that lockdowns, forced human separation, and masks are ineffective at quelling the spread of the coronavirus, while carrying enormous costs, not least among them the erasure of liberal democracy, the most fervent adherents to this ideology believe that the answer is more, and harder.

I say China is trying very hard to ensure Hong Kong gets a fair share of free lunches. READ MORE
