We know the Great Barrington Declaration was sponsored by the American Institute of Economic Research (AIER), a libertarian free market think tank. Also a climate change denial group. The declaration didn’t even pretend to do the things it promoted. See my green bits. 1/4
None of these crumbs from the public health table the free marketers thought might sell this public health horseshit was ever intended to actually happen. It’s just infections, infections, infections. It’s not a strategy. It’s no strategy. That was the point. 2/4
It’s like climate change denial, also a libertarian/free market passion. The intent is to destroy ALL action. ‘The vulnerable’ is a specious smoke screen, they couldn’t give a fuck about anybody vulnerable to anything. Except the rich, vulnerable to taxation. 3/4
Read this declaration and you will see the public health ‘strategy’ now in play for Covid, in most countries. Our health ministers and leaders should be asked why a half-page free market wet dream was allowed to replace a century of public health infrastructure. /end
@RageSheen They believe there shouldn’t be ‘public’ anything, be it health, schools, environmental protections, labor laws, or government services. All those things get in the way of their personal profits.
@simmian42 Indeed, it’s a centuries-long battle between barons and the ‘State’ or King.
