The Epoch Times: COVID-19 a Pandemic of Fear ‘Manufactured’ by Authorities: Yale Epidemiologist
2021-12-05, by Isabel van Brugen and Jan Jekielek
The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of fear, manufactured by individuals who were in the nominal positions of authority as the virus began to spread across the globe last year, according to Yale epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch.
... “Overall, I’d say that we’ve had a pandemic of fear. And fear has affected almost everybody, whereas the infection has affected relatively few,” said Risch.
“By and large, it’s been a very selected pandemic, and predictable. It was very distinguished between young versus old, healthy versus chronic disease people. So we quickly learned who was at risk for the pandemic and who wasn’t.
“However, the fear was manufactured for everybody. And that’s what’s characterized the whole pandemic is that degree of fear and people’s response to the fear.”
Risch has authored more than 300 original peer-reviewed publications and was formerly a member of the board of editors for the American Journal of Epidemiology.
...Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has said that 96 to 98 percent of Americans need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 before the nation can “go back to normal,” pushing the rhetoric that unvaccinated Americans are to blame for slowing down the nation’s economic recovery.
...
WIND: spot-on.
Now our feckless leaders are manufacturing fear for parents, so they will vaccinate their children who have nil risk of harm from COVID. Child abuse is not the limit for the authoritarian control freaks, so what will be?
With the intellectual bankruptcy of science, authorities can do whatever the fuck they want, human rights be damned.
