Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

The lockdowns did indeed not save lives – as we can see by comparing areas that locked down, to areas that did not lock down.
People who prefer Computer Models to empirical evidence – are rather odd.
As for the costs of lockdown – as well as the financial costs, which will lead to terrible poverty (and poverty kills) – the costs include children have had their education destroyed – even the Inquiry admitted that.
So, after spending about £3 from every man, woman and child in the country, the conclusion is that we should have had more lockdown. Coincidentally, that was Labour party policy at the time.
Lessons learned? By whom?
“Under the pretext of ‘Covid-19’ we had a golden opportunity to liquidate those deplorable kulaks and crush those revolting peasants, bringing them to heel and making them KNOW THEIR PLACE! under a glorious socialist ‘new normal.’ And we blew it! If ever such an opportunity comes our way again, we must be both better coordinated and more zealous about exploiting it. Screw the deception; go straight to the engineered famines and death camps.”
Barbarus and Deep Lurker – indeed.
I have put out, on Twitter and Facebook, an interview by John Campbell PhD of Professor Clancy (an Australian immunologist) – it covers the Covid matters better than I can.
It will be of interest to people interested in these matters – but, sadly, I have no idea how to do a “link”.
