The apocalyptic crisis in healthcare currently unfolding is unbelievably tragic, but entirely self-inflicted. Coronavirus didn’t cause these workers to lose their jobs, or the hundreds of hospitals to close. It was the government response that has decimated U.S. healthcare in less than two months’ time. By prohibiting every procedure other than COVID-19 treatment, government at every level accomplished what no virus ever could. Hospitals across the country have been almost completely empty as a result of this policy, a fact that the mainstream media is finally acknowledging after weeks of branding everyone that mentioned it a conspiracy theorist. Thousands of cancer patients have been forced to to wait in agony as their scheduled treatments were cancelled. Organ transplants were cancelled as well, all in anticipation of a COVID-19 surge that never occurred.
This has to be the most ghoulish, inhumane, and criminal public policy in my lifetime. Will anyone stand trial? Doubtful, and blame will be passed around like a hot potato until the public loses interest. This is an outrage.
