“My Rabbi” … Loss of Trust !

A cousin of mine often refers to “his rabbi.” On the surface his comment would not be viewed as unusual … except that my cousin is not Jewish. “His rabbi” is Dennis Prager. Okay, so who is Dennis Prager? He is a syndicated radio talk show host out of Los Angeles. ( A bit of background is appropriate here. My cousin had been an FBI agent, and consequently did a lot of stakeouts in Southern California. While doing stakeouts he would listen to the radio, and from 9am until noon on weekdays, he would faithfully listen to Dennis Prager. He thought that Dennis Prager was a brilliant Jewish man … and consequently “his rabbi.”)

I thought about my cousin as I recently read some comments that Dennis Prager made on his radio show on December 22.

“I have lost all faith in the medical profession and in the medical journals. I mean, if a medical journal writes about colon cancer, I believe it. But if it writes about anything that has to do with society and now with vaccination — you see, you can’t lie to people and then expect them to believe you. You lied about the vaccine. You lied about lockdowns. And you lied about masks. You ruined tens of millions of people’s lives around the world. You brought hunger to vast numbers of people. You brought unemployment around the world. You ruined American kids’ lives in the millions. They are more suicidal and depressed than ever because of your goddamn — excuse me for the language. I don’t know why that’s bad language. God should damn the lockdowns, but I’ll say g-damn if you prefer that.”

My cousin’s rabbi is right on! While the medical profession, especially here in America (e.g. The New England Journal of Medicine) and in Britain (e.g. The Lancet) were busy preaching to us, all they really accomplished was to make things worse. Dennis Prager is correct when he said, “You ruined American kids’ lives in the millions.”

From the Wall Street Journal: 

Learning loss could shave $70,000 off the lifetime earnings of children who were in school during the pandemic, according to a new study by a Stanford economist. The sobering forecast is based on an analysis of the sharp declines in the scores of eighth-graders on national math tests taken between 2019 and 2022. If the learning losses aren’t recovered, K-12 students on average will grow into less educated, lower-skilled and less productive adults and will earn 5.6% less over the course of their lives than students educated just before the pandemic, said Eric A. Hanushek, a Stanford University economist who specializes in education. He said the losses could total $28 trillion over the rest of this century.

Maybe from now on Dennis Prager will be “my rabbi” too.
