Politicians Panicked: govt sabotaged lives but markets respond better to pandemics-John Tamny-Forbes

It didn't take long after last year's start of the Covid panic for plenty of doctors, scientists, and other experts to call off the crisis. Before Tech engaged in its insidious role as censors, information left free allowed for a pattern of knowledge - enough to relax self-thinking Americans that apart from sheltering the comorbid and aged from the viral spread, the rest of us should have returned to normalcy, allowing natural herd immunity to bring the pandemic to a comfortable end. But that's not what the special interest-influenced govt and media let happen.

Instead, as Tamny writes in his very well-received book, the establishment exploited the fear to impose draconian orders that sabotaged livelihoods and markets, insanely interfering, for example, in the market info regarding (1) successful early treatment; (2) corruption of testing and death certification; (3) outright lying about the vulnerability of anyone not comorbid or old; and (5) setting up a globalist Technocracy where the only gateway to normalcy required participation in a worldwide experiment with gene-altering therapy.

What would have taken place over the past year had markets been allowed to clear info in a way that helps in every other type of crisis or opportunity? Are regular humans too dumb to protect themselves absent authority? Is authority trustworthy enough ever to empower with controls over our response to dire situations like a pandemic?

We can't let the past year's hysteria - and possible crimes - get away without investigation. One of the biggest victims may have been the free market as a solution for crises.
