We’ve Adopted the “Let ‘Er Rip” Strategy

I will not forget what was done to us starting in March 2020.  The lies actually started before March 2020 about COVID, including its origins and its deadliness.  And there have been almost no consequences for those who sold the lies.

Some will say that we should just move on since society is back to normal.  There are two major problems with that.

First, not everyone has moved on.  The illustrious president just recently was talking about hurricane preparedness and said that everyone should get vaccinated.  You know…because when your house is about to be destroyed by a hurricane, you should really be thinking about getting a needle in the arm.

Also, if we have moved on, then why are some people still wearing masks?  And why is Brandon still imposing vaccine mandates on many federal workers and still requiring proof of vaccine to enter the country for non-Americans/ non-American residents?

Aside from the fact that not everyone has moved on and has not discovered the truth, there is a second reason to not just forget about what we’ve been through.  Since nobody was held to account for the lies, the lockdowns, the mandates, etc., it could easily happen again with something else.

Remember the Great Barrington Declaration?

In 2020, the Great Barrington Declaration was released, and it was quickly criticized by the ruling elite and their shills in the media.  The doctors who came up with the Great Barrington Declaration basically just said that society should not be locked down, and that there should be focused protection of those who are most vulnerable to COVID.

It was obvious very early on to anyone paying attention that COVID was a disease that mostly impacted older people and people who already are in ill health.

Sure, you can tell me about a friend of a friend who was only 55 years old and died of COVID, or maybe you heard about someone in their 40s who succumbed to the virus.  But even the anecdotal evidence is not reliable because so many people were mistreated with remdesivir and ventilators.

The fact still remains that in 2020, the average age of death from COVID (or with COVID) was around or slightly above the average life expectancy.

The Great Barrington Declaration was saying that we should focus on protecting these people who are actually vulnerable to the virus.  Everyone else should go about their lives.

I would say that is where we are at now, but I would say we have moved beyond that.  I don’t know any elderly people who are staying under voluntary lockdown so as not to get the virus.  If they are healthy enough, most older people are going out to eat and seeing friends.

The Great Barrington Declaration was really not that bold.  It was saying that kids should go to school and not miss soccer practice.  It was saying that most working Americans should be going to work.  Yet, this was considered too radical by the COVID hysterics in 2020 and into 2021.

My only problem with the Great Barrington Declaration was that it wasn’t bold enough.  If anything, it was ceding too much ground to the COVID hysterics.

But the people who supported lockdowns – whether through naivety or cowardice or evil – said that the Great Barrington Declaration was irresponsible if they ever addressed it at all.

The ruling elite and the loudmouths in the media started calling it the “let ‘er rip” strategy.  This was their way of being a demagogue.  They insinuated that the supporters or the Great Barrington Declaration or those who don’t favor lockdowns are just trying to throw grandma in front of a bus.  They were accusing us of not caring about people and wanting to see mass death.  Thanks for the kind interpretation of our position.

Most of us who opposed lockdowns actually cared about individual liberty and the right to make our own decisions.  And that includes caring about people who need to go to work and support a family instead of being locked inside for of a virus that probably won’t impact them.

We also understood that there is no such thing as perfect safety in our world and that we always have to make trade-offs.  You may die in a car accident driving your kid to soccer practice, yet you do it anyway.  You are always taking risks, yet you don’t just sit and hide in your house every day.  In fact, doing that is a bigger risk if you do it day after day.

The lockdowners never considered the mental health of children.  They never considered the need for elderly people to have loved ones by their side.  They never considered the major economic impacts which we continue to suffer from today.  They never considered the long-term damage done to people by feeding them fear and hysteria.

Not one child should have missed baseball practice or a dance recital or piano lessons or anything else because of COVID hysteria.  It was just that – hysteria.  It was irrational, and it was evil what was done to us.

Even though COVID is still around and a little bit of COVID hysteria is still around, most people are going about their lives.  This is what should have been done in March 2020.

I’m glad most people have moved on and that they are recognizing that they have to live their lives without perfect safety.

I am not moving on in the sense that the evil tyrants who imposed death and destruction on our society are still in positions of power.  We must never forget the evil that was done to our society.
