Dennis Prager argues that lockdown supporters created an unfalsifiable narrative: they claim victory whether deaths were high or low. He contrasts modeled virus projections with the real, unmodeled collapse of family incomes that devastated people's lives.
The people, though, that advocate these measures, they, they'll never ever be shown to have been wrong. If the pandemic kills millions, they were right. If it kills thousands, they were right because they had only killed thousands because people were quarantined. There is no way that they could ever be shown to have been wrong. I'm not saying they are. I'm just telling you though, it is an amazing thing, isn't it? There's no way that will ever be shown that they were— that they could have been wrong. In the meantime, the havoc in people's lives, that's very real. The death rate is modeled. The, the collapse of your family income rate is not a model. That's a real thing.
