After the fact, we are told we cannot eliminate the virus.  Yesterday a federal government official declared there is nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.

 

Once Americans give the government power to restrict freedom even temporarily, that freedom is gone forever.  They can declare a new emergency, then grab even more power.  In California the governor used a lot of emergency powers to make executive mandates.  Three months went by.  They didn’t stop him, he kept issuing new emergency mandates.  The virus didn’t go away, it got worse.  California is dead last in percentage of the population vaccinated.  

 

Those who trade away freedom for security get neither.
