An end to the COVID-19 pandemic will never be found through some future means of defeating the SARS CoV-2 virus. That\u2019s because the COVID-19 pandemic is a politically orchestrated moral pandemic, not a viral one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to continued unnecessary lockdowns, the forced wearing of masks and social distancing rules, we now know that our politicians can force arbitrary and irrational restrictions on us without being held accountable for their actions.<\/strong> But worse, we also now know that there are a great many people not only willing to follow their orders without question, but who are eager to help enforce those orders against their fellow citizens.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is beyond tragedy. At the root of this acceptance of evil lies a widely accepted belief that these actions can all be justified by altruism. \u201cIf it only saves one life, it\u2019s all worth it.\u201d <\/p>\n

This is a demonstrably immoral argument. For any society this represents an ethical cancer, which just like any cancer if left unchecked eventually destroys the host body. No society can possibly survive on the irrational principle of self-sacrifice.<\/p>\n

Nor can any number of COVID-19 \u2018model projections,\u2019 or slogans insisting that \u201cwe\u2019re all in this together,\u201d possibly justify the suicidal path taken by our politicians and health care officials.<\/p>\n

Their prescriptions, all based on unethical manifestations of the Left, have been designed to defeat human nature itself. What\u2019s required is a moral prescription that\u2019s Just Right \u2013 one that defends human nature instead of attempting to defeat it.<\/p>\n
