DANIEL HANNAN: The scientists can't bring themselves to 収容する／認める they were wrong about Covid. While Britons 喜んで gave up their freedom, Sweden got it 権利

• e-mail

All the worst lessons are 存在 drawn from Covid. In the event of a 未来 pandemic, we seem 始める，決める to make the same mistakes, only earlier, more 積極性 and more repetitively.

Like generals gearing up to lose the last war, the world’s 科学の and 医療の 官僚主義s are 二塁打ing 負かす／撃墜する on the 治療（薬）s that failed last time: 厳格な人 lockdowns, compulsory ワクチン接種, a bigger 役割 for the World Health Organisation (世界保健機構).

It was 報告（する）／憶測d yesterday that, under the 世界保健機構’s 提案するd new pandemic 条約, 予定 to be 批准するd in two weeks’ time, Britain would be 軍隊d to を引き渡す a fifth of its 麻薬s, ワクチンs and other ‘pandemic-関係のある health 製品s’ to the 全世界の 官僚主義.

The 世界保健機構 is 決定するd to be in 支配（する）／統制する. Its 初期の 草案 含む／封じ込めるd a 合法的な 必要物／必要条件 for 国家の 政府s to ‘follow its 推薦s’ and 軍隊 their 国民s to do likewise.

Under 圧力, those 条項s have been made 非，不，無-binding. But the direction of travel is （疑いを）晴らす. The 世界保健機構 will lay 負かす／撃墜する 支配するs on 検疫, travel 禁止（する）s and the 株ing of 資源s.

井戸／弁護士席, you may say, that sounds reasonable enough. Isn’t it better to have doctors in 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 than 政治家，政治屋s?

For an answer, 解任する how the 世界保健機構 成し遂げるd last time. At the start of 2020, when news began to 現れる that hospitals in Wuhan were 存在 侵略（する）／超過（する） by a new respiratory 病気, the 世界保健機構 parroted the Chinese 政府’s line, 主張するing that the ウイルス could be 契約d only from animals.

‘It is very （疑いを）晴らす 権利 now that we have no 支えるd human-to-human 伝達／伝染,’ it 宣言するd on 14 January.

Why did it make this bizarre （人命などを）奪う，主張する? かもしれない because its director-general, the Ethiopian 政治家，政治屋 Tedros Ghebreyesus, 借りがあるd his 任命 to 中国, which had made its 経済的な （弁護士の）依頼人 明言する／公表するs 投票（する） for him. And 中国 was 決定するd to 避ける any discussion of the 可能性 that the ウイルス had 漏れるd from a 研究室／実験室.

For a long time, the lab-漏れる hypothesis was 扱う／治療するd as a 共謀 theory. But in their 調書をとる／予約する Viral, published in 2021, Canadian molecular biologist Alina Chan and former 保守的な peer Matt Ridley showed that it was 圧倒的に the likeliest explanation.

People are wrong to assume that a 全世界の 科学の 官僚主義 must be more 客観的な than a 国家の 政府 with its own 医療の 助言者s.

In fact, all human 存在s have their 仮定／引き受けることs and prejudices ? 専門家s as much as anyone else. 解任する, for example, the bizarre letter by 1,200 American public health professionals in June 2020 宣言するing that, in general, people must not congregate outside, but that it was different if they were 抗議するing for BLM.

Indeed, 専門家s have predictable prejudices. For example, most 全世界の 技術家出身の管理職者s want more 力／強力にする for 全世界の technocracies.

And, as a 支配する, 医療の （a）忠告の／（n）警報 パネル盤s err on the 味方する of 警告を与える. If their 制限s turn out to be 過度の, they can always say ‘better 安全な than sorry’. If, on the other 手渡す, they make the slightest mistake the other way, they will be finished.

Consider, for example, the ワクチン接種 of healthy youngsters. We now know that ワクチンs, though they were good at keeping 攻撃を受けやすい people out of hospital, had almost no 影響 on 伝達／伝染.

Think about that for a moment. We built a 抱擁する edifice of 制限s, travel 禁止（する）s and ワクチン パスポートs on the 仮定／引き受けること that the jabs were protec ting others, not just ourselves. If, as now seems to be the 事例／患者, that 仮定／引き受けること was 誤った, then the justification for those 禁止s 崩壊（する）s.

Had the 世界保健機構 been in 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 in 2020, the whole world would have locked 負かす／撃墜する. There would have been no 抵抗s. No Swedens, no Floridas.

An empty central London in November 2020.?What we really learned during lockdown is how little people cared about freedom, 令状s Daniel Hannan?

We can now see ? though it has made astonishingly little 衝撃 on our public 審議 ? that these places got it 権利. I don’t just mean that they 避けるd the 経済的な 大災害 苦しむd by countries that の近くにd their shops and 商売／仕事s. I mean they seem to have come through with より小数の deaths.

This astonishing fact should turn our 仮定／引き受けることs on their 長，率いる. We were told at the time that Sweden would 苦しむ 集まり fatalities. Instead, it had one of the lowest 超過 mortality 率s in Europe. Does that not 示唆する that our 返答 was wrong?

But we can’t bring ourselves to 収容する／認める it. In this country, our ludicrous Covid 調査 has plainly started with its 結論, すなわち that we should have locked 負かす／撃墜する earlier.

And, globally, we seem bent on 確実にするing that no 未来 Swedens will be able to challenge the groupthink, and その為に 土台を崩す the 信用性, of the modellers.

What we really learned during lockdown is how little people cared about freedom. Told one day not to wear masks and the next to mask up, people did not just obey; they 激怒（する）d at anyone who had the temerity to ask why the advice was changing.

It turned out that a lot of people enjoyed 存在 bossed about. And, 式のs, the 世界保健機構 noticed it.
