The numbers are in. As if there was much doubt about it, a new study
has revealed that some of our nation’s bluest big states underperformed
on COVID response compared to ruby red Florida and others. The number crunching which combined deaths, economic harm, and educational impact,
was done by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, and it's a doozy.
At the very bottom of the list of states, to the surprise of absolutely nobody who was paying attention, are New York and New Jersey. The
Empire State’s handsy disgraced and former governor Andrew Cuomo was heralded as the leader the world needed on COVID just two years ago.
But according to the study his state, and others with widespread
lockdowns "had high age-adjusted death rates, they had high
unemployment and significant GDP losses, and they kept their schools
shut down much longer than almost all other states."
Meanwhile, as the nation continues to emerge from COVID, even in
Democrat run cities, Dr. Anthony Fauci, of all people, is telling
Americans it's time to assess their own personal risk of the virus. Dr. Fauci, a man so risk averse he wouldn’t place a bet on the sun rising
in the East.
While it's great that Fauci and other leaders are finally coming around
to the idea of living with risk so as not to destroy the entire economy
and children’s education, what the study makes clear is that this
should have been our government’s attitude all along. It will not be
easy for former proponents of strict lockdown to accept this data, but
then again they were the ones insisting we "follow the science."
The plain, obvious fact of the matter is that states like Florida which opened up as early as late April of 2020 never experienced the kind of
death and destruction that detractors of Gov. Ron DeSantis warned of.
It wasn’t "human sacrifice" as some in our COVID hysterical press put
it. It was a calculated risk and it paid off.

Fauci was a fool that caused terrible damage to this country that will
take years to recover from.
It's now a fact you can't control the spread of a virus with lockdowns
and paper masks.
The Democrats took advantage of the virus by making it seem much worse
than it really was. They used it to put another fool in office that is
now doing more damage to this country.

What a joke of a headline (the debate continues). The conclusion comes
from a paper issued by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity and written
by its co-founder Stephen Moore, a partisan biased zealot. The paper has
not been peer reviewed. It does not pass the laugh test that lockdowns
would be ineffective prior to a vaccine.
And based on this article written by Moore
(https://tinyurl.com/ycxstc5v), it's easy to see the paper's methodology
is flawed. He does nothing more than compare the ranks of states in
mortality rate without considering any other factors like age,
population density and weather.
