Anti-Covid Hysteria, Or the Pandemic Road to Tyranny

During the plague years of the Seventeenth Century, the penalty in London for appearing in public bearing the marks of the plague was summary execution by hanging. Whether this measure to flatten the curve was effective is open to question since the bubonic plague was transmitted not from human to human but from flea to human, fleas being carried chiefly by the city's vast population of rats. 

Revealing that nothing much has changed in the combination of ruthlessness and futility in the response of public officials to the fear evoked by a poorly understood disease epidemic, the mayor of the German city of Ostfildern has authorized police use of firearms in responding to anti-vaccine protests. Futility, in this case, is evident from the fact — confirmed by the Director of the US Center for Disease Control, Rochelle Walensky, that the vax prevents neither infection nor transmission of Covid-19.

One difference, though, between the global Covid pandemic and London's 17th Century plague is that the former has thus far resulted in a world-wide mortality of less than zero point one percent, whereas London's 17th Century plague took out about one quarter of the population. It is this vast discrepancy that underlies the widespread public push-back against the Covid tyranny of Justin Trudeau and other Covid Nazi's.
