There ought to be hell to pay

A couple days ago, the Spectator ran a news item that asserted authoritatively, and on the basis of scientific analysis, that mathematically models shows that 2,800 died as a result of COVID ‘misinformation’ in Canada.

The problems with this claim are obvious, and leave the conclusion open to dispute; but what is indisputable is that Canada blew half a trillion dollars on COVID measures, in CERB, lost revenue, and unforeseen expenses.  Never mind the cost to the private sector with disruptive lockdowns and useless mandates.

Now, we are beginning to see the medical costs that the irrational response to the pandemic had.  Cancer screenings that were skipped; children’s vaccination programs that were skipped, and countless operations that are medically necessary but don’t need to be done today.  A three year backlog developed, and now there’s a crisis.

In addition, tens of thousands of “excess deaths” are occurring now, when there ought to be fewer deaths than expected - the pandemic having cleared out the unhealthy.  And tens of thousands is a lot bigger than 2,800.

The irrational mishandling of the COVID pandemic is going to cost more lives than the measures might have saved.  The national economy is still in disarray and debt grew irresponsibly.  The inflation we are experiencing is the direct consequence of financing that debt.

There ought to be hell to pay for this mismanagement: in the medical profession, in media, and in politics.  But so many are up to their necks in complicity, justice will never be done in this life.
