After warning us for months to disinfect every surface we touch, the CDC has now quietly changed its stance, admitting that “the virus does not spread easily” through contaminated surfaces but instead travels person to person. In other words, the masks, the gloves, and even the lockdowns are mostly useless. The alarmists who pushed disastrous policies through bunk science made a deal with the devil — a “Faucian bargain,” if you will — to trade their credibility for the promise of limitless power on the premise of limitless knowledge. As with all such deals, the bargain has left the power-grabbers with nothing.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis took a victory lap in a press briefing with Vice President Mike Pence, excoriating public health officials and pundits whose doomsday predictions turned out false. Meanwhile, the fear-mongers, bereft of any convincing argument, have resorted to name-calling and demands for censorship. MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski called President Trump “a cruel, sick, disgusting person” and asked Twitter to ban his account. Nancy Pelosi likened the President to a child with “doggy doo” on his shoes. So much for “when they go low, we go high.” So much for “science and data.”
