Dr. Emanuel’s “Why I Hope to Die at 75,” his eugenicist protest against “living too long,” in the October, 2014 Atlantic (one of Bill/Melinda Gates’ “strategic media partners”):

With that attitude, the good doctor was probably quite pleased by the mass disposal of all those past-their-sell-date, Social-Security-squandering bipeds finished off in nursing homes throughout the US, UK, Canada and Sweden at the height of the coronavirus crisis. (And he probably was not heartbroken by the die-off of the very old in northern Italy.)
The team that picked Joe Biden sure knows how to pick ’em!
From Tom Woods:
Remember that creep Dr. Zeke Emanuel?
I’ll refresh your memory:
“We cannot return to normal until there’s a vaccine. Conferences, concerts, sporting events, religious services, dinner in a restaurant, none of that will resume until we find a vaccine, a treatment, or a cure….
“We need to prepare ourselves for this to last 18 months or so and for the toll that it will take. We need to develop a long-term solution based on those facts. It has to account for what we are losing while this fight goes on, things like schooling and income and contact with our friends and extended family.”
He wanted you to go for 18 months without “schooling and income and contact with [your] friends and extended family.”
Dr. Emanuel is advising Joe Biden on the virus.
If you’re curious about what he would advise Joe to do, here’s what he said back when he thought Italy had “crushed the curve” (with thanks to Alex Berenson):
“One of the important things for all your readers to look at is Italy.
“Italy did a nationwide lockdown…. We’ve never gotten as low as Italy is today…. We needed that kind of process nationwide, and we did not have that.
“So that’s one thing: a nationwide lockdown that lasts 8 weeks until we have a number of new cases in the 2 to 3 per 100,000 level.”
He said this in September.
Italy just reported 217 deaths from the virus yesterday, which is the equivalent of 1200 deaths in the U.S.
Gee, Dr. Emanuel, it looks like locking people in their houses only delays the inevitable — as everyone at the time tried to tell you.
Meanwhile, let’s check in with Sweden, which never locked down and where almost nobody wears masks.
Here’s Sweden versus Illinois, which is going into another lockdown:
Here’s Sweden against several other European countries:
And here’s Sweden against still other countries:
Well, how about that!
So lockdowns don’t even work — except to suck the joy out of life; decimate people’s savings; ruin their livelihoods; delay necessary health procedures; disrupt supply chains, thereby threatening famine; cause 2 million excess deaths from TB, HIV, and malaria; and lead to depression and despair.
This should be excruciatingly obvious by now, and yet we have a shocking number of people who think this is what needs to be done.
More of what failed the first time!
A wildly disproportionate percentage of the world’s remaining normal people can be found inside the Tom Woods Show Elite, with me. For the sake of remaining sane in a world designed to make you crazy, join me:
One reply on “Dr. Zeke Emanuel, Joe Biden’s COVID-19 advisor, sees Italy’s failed lockdown as a model for the USA”
Sweden was heavily criticized in Europe at the time for choosing a different path.
Today it looks different again.
Thanks for the good article.
