Mississippi church that refused to close their doors is burned down

This is what you get when you saturate society with alarmist propaganda 24/7.

There’s always some latent nutcase that the propaganda draws out in some way. Having become completely hypnotized by the reckless fearmongering, they take it upon themselves to punish the rule-breakers. In this case it’s arson. It can very easily be imagined that more than a few Karen murders will take place before all this is over.

$21-million Brooklyn field hospital is dismantled

It treated exactly zero patients.

As Tom Woods observed, does this mean that the warnings of a “second wave” of coronavirus infections are just a bunch of hot air?

We know the answer to that. And we need to face the horror of the truth: every action taken by government, every sacrifice that the American public have been forced to make, has been in vain. We are victims, not of a virus, but of our own fear.

Ohio judge rules that the state’s lock-down is illegal

From Reason:

“Ohio’s COVID-19 lockdown is illegal, a state judge ruled today, because it exceeds the powers granted by the statute under which it was imposed. Responding to a May 8 lawsuit filed by the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law on behalf of 35 gyms, Lake County Court of Common Pleas Judge Eugene Lucci enjoined Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton from penalizing the plaintiffs or similar businesses for violating the lockdown, provided “they operate in compliance with all applicable safety regulations.””

Thank god for the judges during this crisis, who have been serving as a forceful check on the authoritarian ambitions of many governors.

Oxford COVID-19 vaccine appears to be completely useless

The Faithful patiently awaiting their salvation through Science should probably deposit their blind faith in something other than the Oxford coronavirus vaccine currently in development. Every rhesus monkey injected with the experimental vaccine still contracted COVID-19.

We’ll have achieved natural herd immunity long before a profitable treatment is rolled out, but that won’t stop many expensive treatments from being peddled to a frightened public. Just wait, once a vaccine hits the market, the Pharma televangelists will emerge from the woodwork by the thousands, preaching the gospel of their new product.
