Blinders

Well it took me long enough, and I am chagrined to say that I have worn blinders to the obvious for such a long time. Most of us are aware of the blinders that are put on horses so that they can only look straight ahead and cannot lose focus by glancing off to the side. It finally dawned on me that the health/disease gurus who “know best” are all wearing blinders. They are narrowly focused on the only thing in which they supposedly have expertise. Their blinders do not allow them to do anything but look straight ahead, and that is why they cannot glance at those things which are outside of their focused, “only look straight ahead” view.

I will surmise that it will be years into the future before we can all look back on this pandemic, and wonder why we wore blinders for so long.

Remember back in the beginning when we were told that we should all lockdown for a few weeks in order to stop the spread of the virus. Giving a gratuitous benefit of the doubt to them, I think that those who knew best were trying their best at that time. Well, okay … that didn’t work, but those few weeks turned into a few months and now we are all into a few years. 

In the beginning I thought that President Trump also wore blinders because to me it seemed that he only paid attention to Dr. Fauci. What should have been the foreseen consequences of only paying attention to Fauci were apparently hidden by blinders. The vast downsides of only paying attention to Fauci were enormous and some are still with us … unemployment, suicides, drug overdoses, depression, business closings, etcetera … and the ultimate topper … the death rates from Covid are worse in 2021.

Okay, mea culpa for me also wearing blinders in the past. However we are still wearing blinders by paying attention to the king and the queen of blinders. Both the king, Dr. Fauci (don’t visit with family over the holidays), and the queen, CDC’s Dr. Rochelle Walensky (“Children should continue to wear masks in schools even when they are vaccinated.”) are themselves speaking while wearing their own blinders. The problem, however, continues to be that the American public are still wearing their own blinders by solely paying attention to these two clucks.
