The Day the Science Died: Covid Vaccines and the Power of Fear

The coronavirus pandemic – and our society’s panicky, scared response to that pandemic – has hit the nation and the world like a tsunami, so much so that history seems to divide into pre- and post-covid. We have entered Bizarro World, in which all the things that allow us to co-exist as a civilization of intelligent, self-governing men and women – work, school, church, fresh air, outdoor exercise, entrepreneurship, love, friendship, verve, spontaneity, joyous celebration, the human face – have been relentlessly downgraded. In place we are offered shame, blame, snitching, tattling, and a fear that pervades every facet of our existence. The very lifeblood of modern medicine – early detection and treatment of illness – has been systematically discredited, in favor of experimental shots using a kind of technology never before deployed on a large scale, and hundreds of millions of people have been induced or coerced into having these products injected into their bodies without any good idea of the benefits and risks. Even the meanings of key terms – such as “quarantine,” “herd immunity,” “anti-vaxxer,” and “vaccine” itself – have been altered, without any discussion or debate.
