The coerced economic "shutdowns"—enforced with fines, arrests, and
revoked business licenses—are not the natural outgrowth of a pandemic.
They are the result of policy decisions taken by politicians who have
suspended constitutional institutions and legal recognition of basic
human rights. These politicians have instead imposed a new orm of central planning based on an unproven, theoretical set of ideas about police-enforced "social distancing."
Suspending the rule of law and civil rights will have enormous
consequences in terms of human life counted in suicides, drug overdoses,
and other grave health problems resulting from unemployment, denial of "elective" medical care, and social isolation. .....
In The Lancet, Swedish infectious disease clinician (and World Health Organization (WHO) advisor) Johan Giesecke concluded: It has become clear that a hard lockdown does not protect
old and frail people living in care homes—a population the lockdown was
designed to protect. Neither does it decrease mortality from COVID-19,
which is evident when comparing the UK's experience with that of other
European countries."
