Euro excess deaths are skyrocketing

This isn’t necessarily the result of the vaccine, although it will probably be responsible for a significant chunk. The amount of death occurring is the result of of the 2020 lockdowns, meaning the devastating deliberate attack on the market economy. The importance of the smooth functioning of the economy is something that is completely taken for granted by almost everyone, and yet if we are to survive, something like a new golden rule or Commandment must be inscribed upon our genetic memory: “thou shalt not infringe upon the flow of voluntary interaction.”  The word “economy” is a frail term to describe what is essentially the genius of the human race: our capacity for cooperation. Adam Smith described it as an “invisible hand”, Hayek a “spontaneous order”, Bernard Mandeville a “beehive”. Whatever you call it, it is THE genius of our species, a power probably without equal in the universe. We are a part of a collective, self-organizing order, one that we all contribute to in ways that we will never know, but also one that we make use of. This order, this network of hundreds of millions of imaginations, predicts the future, solves our every problem before we even know a problem exists, and produces endless abundance. No other species has this capacity to any degree. We owe our existence, abundance, and progress to this order, and every attack on it should be viewed as an attack on civilization itself. Lockdowns were just such an attack and should be viewed as the grave crime it truly is. But how many do understand that lockdowns were arguably the greatest crimes against civilization to have ever been committed? Too few.
