Fauci to America: “Do What You’re Told”

America used to have an independent spirit. But now it is time for Americans to do as they are told. Dr Anthony Fauci has spoken:

During a televised COVID-19 discussion with other top experts at the Washington National Cathedral, Fauci recalled, “I was talking with my U.K. colleagues who are saying the U.K. is similar to where we are now, because each of our countries have that independent spirit.” He added, “I can understand that, but now is the time to do what you’re told.”

As noted at CNBC,

In a “divisive” society, [Fauci] said, people’s willingness to follow the advice of [bureaucrats who present themselves as] scientists has often been portrayed a political decision. Surveys have found that Democrats are more likely than Republicans to view Covid-19 as a major threat to public health.

I wonder why adherents to an authoritarian ideology would be more willing to believe in coronavirus hyperbole than people who cherish liberty.

Future historians will examine the numbers, compare COVID-19 to more serious epidemics like the Spanish flu, and burst out laughing that we let authoritarians exploit this Chinese export to strip us of our freedom.
