Bumbling and stumbling is what we flawed humans do. During WWII, Admiral William Halsey sailed his fleet into a typhoon. In 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor melted down largely because of, apparently, poorly trained plant operators. In 1999, NASA lost its $125 million Mars Climate Orbiter due to a metric-Imperial system mix-up.
But the COVID-19 response is assuredly the greatest blunder in American history. This is especially true since, a bit like Halsey having engaged the typhoon repeatedly to see if he could get even, our “health” authorities never make the same mistake twice.
They make it five or six times, just to be sure.
(Joke hat tip: Senator John Kennedy, R-La.)
The reality is that despite the coronavirus response’s abject failure, Dr. Anthony Fauci and his fellow travelers refuse to change course. They just love immersion in the typhoon, despite their policy ship having already sailed — and sunk.
