Governor DeWine is a Disgrace, and He's Not Alone: Part I

By Rich Kozlovich

Since this whole coronavirus issue hit America I've posted 28 articles of my own in an attempt to show how insane all this hysteria is.  And it's continuing. I've also posted 369 coronavirus articles, and discounting my own, that's 341 by others regarding all aspects of this fraud, including masks, lockdowns, economics and more.

It isn't that we shouldn't take any of this seriously, but there's a difference between being serious and being hysterical.  We're in full hysterical now.

When Governor Mike DeWine locked down the state how many cases of this infection was he aware of?  Well, I've read two pieces on this. One said there were none, and the other said there may have been three.  Three cases and he shut down the state?  Why?  Amy Acton as far as I can tell.

She declared in March there "could" be "100,000 or more people in the state have coronavirus".  Of course she amended that: “I’m guesstimating".  Guesstimates based on what?  Computer models?

That's the trouble with epidemiologists, they're great speculators, but speculation isn't science. It's a component of science but policy can't be made on specuation.  Then there's statistics, a big part of epidemiology, but statistical projections is about speculatory projection, also a part of science, but not science in itself.  Here are seven reasons why.

On June 23, 2020 Steve Bigler published the article, A retired physician's take on epidemiologists, saying: "I am a retired physician. Over my career, I've had some contact with epidemiology. I'll be blunt here: I came away unimpressed with that field.

He goes on to show (1) they don't have to actually provide patient care, (2) they use computer models to come up with their "advice and council", and time has shown that to be "unimpressive", because (3) the models are wide enough that you could drive a Mack truck through them, (4) they have tunnel vision and fail to see the consequences of their lockdowns and quarantines, (5) they have no economic skin in the game:  "Epidemiologists still receive their full salary and benefits.  I've always thought it would be interesting to suspend their pay and benefits during a lockdown and see how enthusiastic they'd be about continuing! It's easy to make dire and sweeping pronouncements when you have no skin in the game."  (6) They never have to take responsibility for their failed predictions, since they're just playing it safe, and (7), they actually think they're in charge and everyone should just follow their speculatively arrogant advice.

He ends his analysis by saying:  

Bottom line: Basically, it's a well compensated occupation with little or no personal accountability for the outcome.  Nice work if you can get it!"

Science must be observable, it must be repeatable and it must be recordable.  Speculation does none of that.

As Peter Skurkiss asks: 

How do people like this Amy Acton worm their way into unelected positions of power, where they can use the leverage of their position to affect the lives of so many people?  If you add up the dollars lost and lives destroyed, it is quite possible that Dr. Amy Acton has caused more damage to society than what the Antifa and BLM disruptions in some 140 cities across the country have caused.

Here's a supposedly pro-life governor who appoints a pro-abortion activist and Obama-supporter.   A person with what can only be called, "issues"!  Issues that would have stopped any rational governor in his tracks.

She's been treated for "mental illness and/or addiction issues.....falsely accused her second husband of raping her when she was 12 years old. Acton had publicly claimed that both Arthur [her father] and her husband were criminally charged with abusing her....He is reported to have begged Acton not to quit. When Acton remained resolute, he immediately appointed her as his public health adviser, no doubt with full pay."

And DeWine's judgement isn't the only one I question.  Ohio Lawmakers Introduce Bill That Would Make February 26 ‘Dr. Amy Acton Day.  Some things people do are so stupid I wonder if they're born stupid or it's a career choice, or is it a bit of both.

Conclusion:  There's something wrong with DeWine, and he's not alone!

 Part II will be in tomorrow's edition of P&D.
