Sun-King Sununu constantly claimed his authoritarian COVID interventions … lockdowns, closing “nonessential” businesses, mask-mandates, etc. … were based on science. For example:
The claim by the Sun-King and the other lockdown-Governors that they were just “following the science” was a lie.
Just as the corporate media are now finally admitting that the Hunter Biden laptop was NOT “Russian disinformation” they are also finally admitting that there was no actual science behind the authoritarian COVID interventions. For example, a recent (paywall) op-ed in the Wall Street Journal:
As Jordan Schachtel, an independent journalist wrote back in 2020:
On January 1, 2020, if you had asked anyone about the modern history of pandemics, it would have been well understood that locking down and quarantining an entire population was an unscientific act of total barbarism, and a policy measure that was best reserved for the Dark Ages.
Then came COVID-19, and the time-tested consensus on dealing with a pandemic had found itself completely absent from the discussion on how to respond to the novel coronavirus. …
By the time China lifted its lockdown, almost every country in the world, minus a few outliers, had announced their own versions of a lockdown. Citing the situation in Wuhan, WHO-associated and Gates-funded academic and “public health” institutions demanded lockdowns as a solution to the COVID-19 problem, arguing that millions would die if dramatic action was not taken immediately.
… The hysterical panic policy first seen in Wuhan was now a global standard for action against the virus.
Sun-King Sununu did NOT “follow the science.” He followed the Communists.
