Conservatives play the Lucy football game too often. One of the most frequent mistakes is taking lefty premises and principles at face value and then arguing against them by showing inconsistency or hypocrisy. Or, even worse, proposing to out-left the left. “I’ll ask a Muslim bakery to bake a Mohammed cake”. “Why not believe Tara Reade?” “Democrats are the ones responsible for racism and police brutality”.

Right.



The Left has one solidly consistent principle. “I win, you lose”. Everything else is momentary strategy and messaging. Now the farcial profession of public health expert, which suddenly turned obscure cogs into unelected tyrants, is predictably pivoting to explain why we have always been at war with racism and that’s a much bigger public health crisis than #StayHome #WashYourHands #LoseYourRights.

“We should always evaluate the risks and benefits of efforts to control the virus,” Jennifer Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins epidemiologist, tweeted on Tuesday. “In this moment the public health risks of not protesting to demand an end to systemic racism greatly exceed the harms of the virus.”

Killing grandma is much less important than defunding cops.

But key words, “public health risks”. Friends, this party is just getting started. Every lefty cause will be a public health crisis. Think of the “public health risks” of not protesting for the environment or protesting Trump, “a one-man health crisis”. And, it ought to go without saying, that Democrats and their conventions are a vital means of upholding public health while Republican gatherings are a public health hazard.

If the coronavirus continues to dismantle civil liberties for the public health crisis regime, that regime will wipe out all political dissent.

For “public health”. Why do you hate science?

“The injustice that’s evident to everyone right now needs to be addressed,” Abraar Karan, a Brigham and Women’s Hospital physician who’s exhorted coronavirus experts to amplify the protests’ anti-racist message, told me. “While I have voiced concerns that protests risk creating more outbreaks, the status quo wasn’t going to stop #covid19 either,” he wrote on Twitter this week.

Wait, it wasn’t? So why were we terrorizing people for burying their dead? Why did people die alone in hospitals?

former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Tom Frieden, who loudly warned against efforts to rush reopening but is now supportive of mass protests. Their claim: If we don’t address racial inequality, it’ll be that much harder to fight Covid-19.

Tom Frieden is an inept leftist hack? I’m shocked.

It’ll be that much harder to fight the coronavirus if we don’t clump lots of black people together without social distancing making it more likely that they’ll catch the virus? Which white supremacist came up with that genocidal ploy?

 There’s also evidence that the virus doesn’t spread easily outdoors

As Liz Warren would say, “Those are right wing talking points.”

Remember when it was crazy right-wing anti-science people saying stuff like that.

The experts maintain that their messages are consistent—that they were always flexible on Americans going outside, that they want protesters to take precautions and that they’re prioritizing public health by demanding an urgent fix to systemic racism.

It’s consistent. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

We have consistently told people to huddle under their beds and avoid contact with other human beings for fear of killing everyone around you… unless it’s to protest racism.
