The Scariest COVID-19 Casualty You Can’t Talk About Is Free Speech

“The moral of coronavirus19 will be that social contagion via social networks is more dangerous than biological contagion.” March 17, 2020

I tweeted the quote above a little more than a year ago, and pinned it. I thought I was stating the obvious. At that point, mass hysteria was already in overdrive, and anyone with even an inkling that the biggest dangers to society are the irrational actions of crowds should have understood my point.

Instead, I was pilloried for it. How could there any effects be worse than that of coronavirus? Why do you care about the economy more than lives? And on and on.

March of 2020 will be looked back on as the Great Mass Delusion. By early March, a “mass decision” had been made that COVID-19 was super-dangerous and unlike anything we’ve seen before. It wreaked havoc on the ability of anyone within the mass delusion to think rationally.
