As people get tired of living in fear, fear must be stoked again, to enable greater government control

by

It seems that the plebeians have been getting a little bit too complacent, so, once again, fear has to be ramped up. From CNBC:

Are you terrified yet? Are you quaking in fear? Are you ready to surrender more of your rights, your freedoms, your liberty, to those who know better than you, those who only want to protect you, for your own good?

Dr Leong is in Singapore, and should have no influence on US policy, but, not to worry, we have our own Dr Anthony Fauci:

    “The profile of the mutations strongly suggest that it’s going to have an advantage in transmissibility and that it might evade immune protection that you would get,” U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

Dr Fauci does have the President’s ear.

The CNBC article included this video, with Dr Syra Madad, an infectious disease expert and a fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, which is part of the John F Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

And that’s the key: she may be an infectious disease expert, but she’s part of the Kennedy School of Government! She’s ‘urging’ everybody to mask up and get tested frequently, but when someone connected to a school of government ‘urges’ something, we all know that significant non-compliance will result in that asked to become something mandated.

  1. The Lexington Herald-Leader gave OpEd space to Richard A. Crosby, Ph.D., the Good Samaritan Endowed Professor at the College of Public Health at the University of Kentucky. He wrote:

    The time has come to take responsibility for one another, and to end the complacency that has cast its shadow over public safety. As the “center” of Lexington and a place bringing in students from around the globe, it is time for UK’s President Capilouto and his board of trustees to follow the lead of nearby universities and mandate student vaccination. As a leader in the community, the university can also model restricted indoor dining as well as social distancing protocols in classrooms (meaning fewer seats are occupied) and other settings that are otherwise overly crowded. These measures are basic – others may need to be added as this fifth wave of COVID-19 enters Fayette County.

    The leadership role of the university must also be made very public, so as to inspire and diffuse these protective actions throughout Lexington, where UK students, faculty, and staff reside in what they consider as a safe place to live. That safety is now more fragile than ever. Other leaders in the community must also act to end the current “status quo” complacency about COVID-19. People are becoming more lax about wearing masks in places like grocery and retail stores, with far too many store employees wearing their mask below the nose – thereby compromising its purpose. Social distancing has become a thing of the past, so it seems – this too is a sign of poor human adaptation in that deadly game of evolution against a formidable viral pandemic. Let’s not wait until the hospitals are once again spilling over with COVID-19 patients before we end this complacency and get back to the task of outwitting the virus.

    It’s always more control and more control.
