| Anthony Fauci was recently asked what he would do differently about the coronavirus response if he could turn the clock back to 2020. His answer? He would have recommended that the government impose “much, much more stringent restrictions.” That’s what he’s claiming the last two years have taught him. Imagine that! So forget all the studies (as if we needed studies) outlining the catastrophic effects of lockdowns, the data showing no connection between stringency and health outcomes, or the two years of real-world experience demonstrating the uselessness of masks. None of that even enters the equation. With this fiasco winding down, it’s tempting to think our side proved its point and they’ll be more restrained next time. But Fauci’s conclusion is that next time the state should be even more savage. So it’s still important to think about where would be best to live in case they try to pull something like this again, and how to move to that place without breaking the bank. It’s important to make connections with sensible people in your area whom you could count on in another emergency like this. It’s important to be prepared. It’s important to be able to make a living in a way they can’t destroy. Now that they’ve had a taste of a level of power as intoxicating as this, is it so much of a stretch to wonder if they’ll want to exercise it again, under whatever pretext? I refuse to give in to defeatism, which is rampant in some libertarian circles. No matter what you come up with, the defeatists have 37 reasons it won’t work. I’ve had it with that. But I also refuse to continue business as usual. We can’t be just about “educating the public,” as important as that is. If our enjoyment of a fulfilling life, and flourishing as human beings, depends on persuading 80 million people to agree with everything we think, we are going to be disappointed. We need to do MORE. MUCH MORE. We either start doing more or we end up doing what our tyrannical dictators tell us to do. Period. End of story. Full stop. |
