The Jordan Peterson podcast with Matt Ridley was a most enjoyable dialogue between the perspectives of a believer and an atheist discussing the origins of Covid and reaching the insight that truth matters more than consequence. Hiding an inconvenient fact to propagate dogma is the tool of Authoritarians who are eventually felled by their lies.
It’s currently clear Doctor Fauci halted further inquiry into the possibility that Covid originated at the Wuhan Laboratory so as to not reveal the lab’s gain of function research. The truth was that this research was funded under his direction by our National Health Institute and that some virologists questioned it because of the possibility of exposing the public to a readily infectious and deadly virus. It was an inconvenient truth for a public health authority trying for credibility in its battle with an adaptable and vicious virus. The Health Establishment decided to stifle debate and declare any statement other than coming from approved sources as heresy.
But Sweden’s Health Authority took a heretical turn from complete lockdown to one that loosened up among the young and in school and suffered no worse outcome than other countries that had rigorously locked everyone in. The result was clear enough for Doctors Sunetra Gupta of the University of Oxford, Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, and Martin Kulldorff of Harvard University to issue a letter called the Great Barrington Declaration asking for the compassionate relaxing of Covid lockdowns on the less susceptible populations which was of course declared heretical by the American Public Health Association and The United Nations World Health Organization.
Here in the U.S. where the States are the laboratories of democracy we had Governor Gavin Newsom of California adhering to dogma by closing the beaches among other lock down provisions while Ron Desantis of Florida let the people out into the open air and vitamin D enriching sunshine! Where Alexandia Ocasio-Cortez was photographed partying maskless in Miami while New York City was in lock down. It looked like she was having such a good time that it made Bill Maher wish he was not stuck in dreary Los Angeles. DeSantis also hired UCLA’s heretic Dr. Ladapo to be Florida’s Surgeon General to compassionately let the resilient population live free. In retrospect there was no discernible difference in Covid death outcomes between CDC driven freedom deprived California and Great Barrinton Declaration free to live and chose Florida and worthy of debate between Newsom and DeSantis in the 2024 Presidential race.
