CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 15, 2020
THE EDICTS FROM SO-CALLED EXPERTS AND POLITICIANS OPENING AND CLOSING BUSINESSES AND CHURCHES IS BECOMING TIRESOME. IF PEOPLE LOSE THEIR JOBS AND BUSINESSES HOW IS THAT HELPING THEM? THIS VIRUS IS UNLIKELY TO BE COMPLETELY CURED, SO IT MUST BE MANAGED. THE VULNERABLE – THOSE WHO ARE OLD AND HAVE UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS – SHOULD TAKE SPECIAL MEASURES. THE REST OF US, WHILE PRACTICING THE THINGS HEALTH PEOPLE SAY TO DO, SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO EAT AT RESTAURANTS AND DO OTHER THINGS THAT REFLECT WHAT “LIVING MEANS.”
KENTUCKY SENATOR RAND PAUL HAD IT RIGHT WHEN HE SAID: “It is a fatal conceit to believe any one person or small group of people has the knowledge necessary to direct an economy or dictate public health behavior. We shouldn’t presume that a group of experts somehow knows what’s best for everyone. … It’s important to realize that if society meekly submits to an expert and that expert is wrong, a great deal of harm may occur when we allow one man’s policy or one group of small men and women to be foisted on an entire nation.”
I AGREE. I’M CAL THOMAS
