Warning: This photo may haunt you -- Mandy Cohen, Biden's pick for CDC director
 [Tom Woods] They say a picture is worth a thousand words.Here, then, are a thousand words about Mandy Cohen, North Carolina's health secretary and Joe Biden's pick to head the Centers for Disease Control: (scary photo in link) She is exactly what you would expect: masks and lockdowns work great, get these shots and you can't give anyone Covid, etc. As Charlotte radio host Pete Kaliner put it, "When we were at our most frightened, Cohen was there to infantilize us and treat us as the children she sees us as." According to Jim Bovard in the New York Post, although Cohen claimed that her Covid policies were driven by recommendations from her "scientific team," it became clear after she left office that she had instead "relied on phone calls with political appointees in other states." Bovard describes Cohen recounting a call to the Massachusetts health secretary, who asked her: "Are you going to let them have professional football?" "Nope!" Cohen replied. The Massachusetts official responded: "OK, neither are we." Cohen then laughed -- because disruption of society is really hilarious -- and explained that "it was conversations like that" that were behind COVID prohibitions. Attorney Jenin Younes, a political liberal who was excellent over the past three years (and who represented in court many good people victimized by crazy policies), reacted this way to the announcement: "This alone is a reason to vote against Biden. The fact they are trying to inflict another one of these authoritarians on us after three years of totally failed, destructive mitigation policies is frightening. I want all of these people far, far away from powerful positions." Posted by: DooDahMan 2023-06-09 |
