Adam Creighton 'The Australian'

He explains The West is suffering from a mass psychogenic illness because of a scare campaign over a virus which is mostly harmless.

Currently globally only 0.4% of those infected suffer any serious symptoms. That means 99.6% of those infected are asymptomatic or suffer mild cold and flu-like symptoms.

The median age of those who die from Covid-19 is over 80 years.

But the media and politicians talk about outlier, cases to scare us into thinking we are all vulnerable to this disease. When they do that media benefit from higher ratings and politicians popularity goes up. The more restrictions the government introduces. The more convinced the public are, they are being kept safe from a deadly disease.

This is why lock-downs receive great media and public support while they wreck businesses, and people's lives and futures. Government handouts and stimulus spending won't last forever. All these chickens will come home to roost.

Adam Creighton is interviews by Alan Jones in the linked video worth watching. He wrote:

"The West, and Australia and New Zealand in particular, are suffering mass psychogenic illness, where only sociology, psychology and the perverse incentives of large welfare states, can explain the ongoing obsession with COVID-19 and our medieval responses to it after almost a year of improved treatments and new information," Creighton writes.

"Australia and New Zealand have incurred costs equivalent to a world war - and more than any other nation has - fighting a pandemic that has killed not even 1000 people, with a median age in the mid-80s, between them. And this is widely seen as brilliant."

Creighton argues the lockdowns have imposed an "extraordinary economic, psychological and social cost" on both countries - and have come at the expense of civil liberties.

"Our leaders should level with voters that we can't remain an open liberal society without incurring further deaths and cases from COVID-19. Let vulnerable groups be vaccinated, and let everyone else get on with their life," he adds.

"Unfortunately that's not an option in Australia or New Zealand, where the freedom's taken for granted before 2020 - to come and go, see whomever, and privacy - have been sacrificed to the god of 'public health'."
