Dr. Anthony Fauci and sundry Experts: Amazing us again with how little they know…and the wages of our misplaced trust.

UPDATE 7/20/20: The quiet villainy of The Good Doctor creeps eerily, slowly into prominence as he perversely praises New York’s disastrous handling of the virus. Do Cuomo’s off-the-chart death rates (per capita) not register? As of 7/20/20: for New York, 32,570, 1675 per million; for New Jersey, 15,781 deaths, 1777 per million. Next closest per million capita figures: 232(Florida), 195(California), 140(Texas). Is Julia Roberts’ new “personal hero” just another Deep State liar, doing his bit to keep the CoronaCraze DemPanic going thru Election Day?

UPDATE 7/19/20: A distinctly unglamorous high-level bureaucrat is given the whole glam makeover. First, Hollywood intellectual-with-glasses Julia Roberts breathlessly gushes over her newly acquired “personal hero.” Then, a diminutive Cover Boy star is born for a fashion magazine that wouldn’t deign to feature Melania Trump. How better to whitewash the devastating  damage done to millions in the name of “Saving Lives” and “The Science?” And to think it all really started with Hillary losing to Trump. Just the latest in the American Left’s descent into demento-destructo mode.

UPDATE 5/12/20: Who are these two men-Fauci and Ferguson-on whose sage advice we have needlessly shut down the entire world? What kind of fools are we to have listened to them?

UPDATE 4/12/20: The worm is turning, and fingers are pointing. Will anything have been learned about the folly of relying totally on “experts” instead of simple numbers and common sense?

ORIGINAL POST 4/12/20: It is high time to call out the anointed “Experts” in all fields and ask, “What do you really know?” and “Is it worth knowing?” Granted, one would be wise to respect and utilize genuine expertise from any field, assuming the expert has proven he/she has it. One can’t overstate the value of a good electrician, plumber or car mechanic. Or physician. Sadly, an overabundance of those granted “expert” status in all fields have often proven to be woefully ignorant and mistaken at best, and conniving face-saving frauds at worst.

“Experts” in their chosen fields. Would you take advice from either of these two old pals?

Which brings us to CoronaCrazed America and most of the rest of the world, currently held hostage by a handful of  individuals who have proven once and for all that “experts” are not to be trusted, especially when motivated by politics and power.  The simple recognition by average individuals that tens of thousands of people succumb routinely to the flu every year should have fended off this disaster. In a sane world, no panic would have occurred, just basic preventive measures should’ve carried us through yet another bad cold season. Life would go on as it does in a healthy society, accustomed to unavoidable bumps in the road.

Unfortunately, the average person (joined mindlessly by millions upon millions of other “average” people)  has been  browbeaten into believing that his/her own perfectly good common sense, experience and rational faculties amount to nothing compared to what “the experts” might say.

The “experts” suddenly announced, “Panic!” and we were off onto what has proven to be one of the most senselessly destructive episodes in American history. Millions of lives, businesses, careers, personal finances and family lives have been upended, and the entire country has been given a taste of life in a totalitarian society, fueled and prolonged by an unending barrage of media-induced terror.

The nightmare has been the viral hysteria and its results on American daily life, not the infectious biological virus.

Progressives and Leftists have a thing about identifying and empowering the “experts” of our world because they are in the business of top-down crowd control. For years, Paul Krugman has been hailed as THE seer of Economics, awarded a Nobel Prize and a permanent soapbox at the New York Times. Unfortunately, he was/is/always will be wrong about just everything that matters with regards to money and healthy economies. Apparently, he missed the real-life lesson that would’ve taught him the proven superiority of  free market capitalism above all other approaches; but don’t tell that to him or his faithful, ignorant following.

Today’s Expert du jour is the highly esteemed Dr. Anthony Fauci whose political affiliations  (including the real-life Dr. WHO, Tedros Ghebreyesus) have of late become the subject of close scrutiny. Apparently, politics has come first, not “first do no harm.”

One would be wise to rely on one’s own senses in all matters, not those of “the experts.” Let’s hope that our down-to-earth, bottom-line President Trump puts an end to the nightmare and calls upon his own common sense to go around Fauci & Co., and re-open the country, contrary to the lethal advice of his “experts.”
