Below I reprint my own warning from January 27, 2020. Yes, I would change some of it now but not much. This was published nearly two months before the lockdowns hit the US. I wish now that I had explained in this short space the role of acquired immunities, the need for medical doctors to focus on therapeutics, and the essential requirement for society to continue to function as normally as possible in the midst of a pandemic.

We’ve all learned over these three years. The lesson I’ve taken away is that the quarantine power is far more dangerous than even I imagined. I’ve also been late to observe the astonishing power of Big Pharma to manipulate policy for its own ends. When I wrote the following, I did not even imagine that there would come a time in the near future when this industry would claim that we could vaccinate our way out of this pandemic. It was too absurd a scenario back then even to contemplate. And of course I never imagined that the lockdowns would last two years and more in many places. Sheer madness.
