With COVID, government is the problem
Milton Friedman (1912 - 2006) was a professor of economics and a highly influential thinker of conservative thought in the 20th century. One of the world's most famous public intellectuals, his political philosophy extolled the virtues of a free market economic system with minimal government intervention in social matters. He believed government caused far more problems than it solved. A Nobel Prize winner, Friedman called for the elimination of most Federal agencies including education, agriculture, commerce, transportation, energy, the FDA, housing and urban development, and labor as well as programs such as social security. Friedman believed that government should be limited to basic functions such as defending the country and providing a mechanism where people can adjudicate their disputes. In other words, the government should be limited to defense, police to protect against real crime, and justice along with a small measure of small functions such as non-coercive public health information and veterans affairs to manage veteran's benefits. According to Friedman, who was the quintessential proponent of small government, a society cannot function without tort law. A tort, in common law jurisdiction, is a civil wrong that causes a claimant to suffer loss or harm, resulting in legal liability for the person who commits the tortious act.
So by his logic -- and his was a voice to be heeded -- we have a real problem with pharmaceutical companies who since 1986 have been exempt from liability for damages caused by vaccines. Who exempted them? Congress, of course, under pressure from the pharmaceutical companies themselves. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) provided vaccine manufacturers with significant tort-liability protections and eliminated manufacturer liability for a vaccine’s adverse side effects. When you take a vaccine, you are taking into your body a product from a manufacturer who cannot be sued. You can sue your car manufacturer for exploding gas tanks. You can sue your home builder if a wall collapses. But you cannot sue the manufacturer of a product that is injected into the body of your children. You are relying on the goodwill of a major corporation as well as government oversight.
However, as Friedman argued, government departments and programs historically get taken over by powerful self-interested parties that do not work in the public interest. As we have seen, this is exactly what has happened to the FDA and the CDC which today are controlled by the pharmaceutical industry. Former FDA and CDC heads routinely are rewarded with high paying positions in the corporate world, oftentimes to the tune of millions of dollars, after leaving their government positions. This is retroactive bribery and has led these government agencies to become corrupt as has funding from the corporations themselves. The biopharmaceutical industry pays three quarters of the FDA’s budget used for the drug review process. (Source Forbes magazine, "The Biopharmaceutical Industry Provides 75% Of The FDA's Drug Review Budget. Is This A Problem?" Jun 28, 2018, John LaMattina, former president of Pfizer Global Research and Development) So with vaccines, your life is in the hands of major corporations who nearly as a rule pursue profit above all else and government agencies, which are not known for their competence (try working with City Hall) and have been corrupted by corporate control. How can there be mandates of liability-exempt medical products? When Congress exempted pharmaceutical companies from liability for injury caused by vaccines, vaccines were optional and the government agencies were not dominated by the pharmaceutical companies to the extent they are today. We have gone down a slippery slope. Most evil starts that way.
Where are we now? With COVID 19, the Biden administration and many employers with Biden's encouragement are requiring injection of an experimental product that has received minimal testing. Historically, vaccines, received 7 to 10 years of testing. The COVID 19 shot received six months of reduced testing. Moreover, it uses a technology that has never been used successfully on humans before and has never passed through the animal testing phase. The Pfizer and Moderna shots utilize synthetic RNA to instruct the cells to create trillions of dangerous spike proteins that have been known to cause blot clots. This is Dr. Frankenstein in action. It's so audacious, just the ultimate in the arrogance of man.
It's also the stuff of nightmares for Milton Friedman. The government creates a bioweapon (this is widely acknowledged) that is let loose on the public, promotes testing via a technique that is not supposed to be used for diagnosis, pays hospitals to list asymptomatic deaths as COVID deaths, funds accelerated development of an experimental vaccine, eliminates the essential function of tort law for vaccine makers, vastly reduces its own oversight on those corporations, lowers its standards for vaccine approval, and then imposes the vaccines on the public. The government also fills society with fear via lockdowns, masks, green passes, and propaganda and bans proven therapies for COVID such as Ivermectin and HCQ. Milton Friedman gets smarter every day. The government causes more problems than it solves. With COVID, the government has caused all of the problems. All of them! Where will it end?
