Experts Disgraced Themselves By Prioritizing Woke Politics Over Public Health
COVID-19 has taken more than 98,000 American lives, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a tragic tally. And yet, so far it rates as a relatively mild contagion, along the lines of the 1968 flu virus, which killed 100,000 in the United States, or the 1957-1958 virus, which killed 116,000. In both of those earlier epidemics, of course, the population of the nation was much smaller.
The level of wokeness has been, well, bubonic. Some of that ostentatious political correctness was evident in February, when public health officials, led by the president of the “Woke Health Organization,” told us that the real danger from coronavirus was an upsurge in racism and xenophobia, against Asians or anyone else. Thus the initial dubbing of the malady as the “Wuhan virus” — in keeping with past practice, focusing on a bug’s geographic origins — was quickly canceled.
Here at American Renewal, I published a piece headlined, “How Wokeness Endangers Public Health.” As I put it, “The coronavirus will hopefully not be the worst pandemic, but it’s surely shaping up to be wokest pandemic.” At the time, I had no idea as to the lethality of the virus — and only an inkling as to the extremity of the wokeness.
In that piece, I quoted Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, who spoke for the new PC orthodoxy when she declared, “fighting coronavirus with travel bans is a mistake.” In other words, the most basic idea of public health — separating the pathogen from its potential targets — was not to be considered, because it violated the borderless ideology of John Lennon’s utopian ode:
Black Lives Matter Terrorists Cower After British Patriots Vow to Protect Monuments From Desecration
The mob is standing down.
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is backing down after a group of British patriots have vowed to protect historical monuments from being desecrated by the anti-civilizational terror group.
BLM reportedly called off a rally on Saturday because they were scared that opposition would show up and stop them from committing their violent rampage.
“We want the protests to be a safe space for people to attend,” a post from the BLM LDN organisers said. “However, we don’t think it will be possible with people like them present.”
Patriotic groups, including heroic anti-Sharia demonstrator Tommy Robinson, have scheduled a “defend our memorials” event near Winston Churchill’s statue on Parliament Square. Churchill has been one of the cultural icons set for destruction by BLM as they emulate the tactics of ISIS in their war against Western Civilization.
Police claim they are ready to deal with any skirmishes that may result from a confrontation between the two groups.
“We are going into the summer period, which is always a challenging period in relation to to incidents and disorder,” said Martin Hewitt, who is the chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council.
“And of course now we do have the additional factor of the extraordinary movement of Black Lives Matter, and people’s feelings about inequality. So of course, when you put all of that together, that has the potential … to cause concern,” Hewitt added.
Police stood down while a Churchill monument was defaced by vandals, doing nothing to protect and serve while BLM terrorists waged war against Britain. Cops defend their inaction and weakness as being necessary to protect the public safety.
Somerset police chief constable Andy Marsh said: “There would have been a risk of violent confrontation and other criminal damage and a risk of significant disorder in...
Trump campaign manager says 300,000 people applied for president's upcoming rally
Hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters have applied to attend the president's first rally since early March amid the coronavirus pandemic.
