Cali Gets an F in COVID

An economist says lockdowns don’t work

According to a recent study, the Golden State did not follow the Yellow Brick Road to a decent pandemic policy.

After looking at the study, I’d say that the study’s authors did not read even an introductory text about what some of the survival traits of past eras might have been.

If they had done so, they would have seen that being away from other sick people is one of the only things that has ever worked with fatal diseases.

Only in the United States would we go so far out of our way to ensure we never have to let workers stay home. There was also no mention that Tennessee is the first state to allow patients to use whatever medicine they please for Covid, and people are just fine — no one has burst into flames.

More importantly, you cannot get myocarditis from ivermectin.

The study was authored by University of Chicago economist Casey Mulligan, Stephen Moore of the Heritage Foundation, and Phil Kerpen from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity.

In America, the word “study” conjures up visions of certainty, and nothing could be further from the truth. I am reasonably sure that the study results match the theoretical biases of the authors.
