Michael Crichton wrote Prey in 2002 and the better-known Jurassic Park in 1990. Both are fictional horror stories about science run amok. We’ve had three years of real horror from science run amok. Politicized science. In Jurassic Park, fictitious scientists brought prehistoric dinosaurs to life using ancient DNA fragments. The vicious raptors scared movie audiences. In our horror story, government-funded scientists created a novel virus using RNA fragments from live bats in remote Chinese caves. Its unnatural threat was hyped to create panic, empower authorities to ignore civil liberties, and impose mandates that made its adverse effects worse. And to generate huge profits for drug companies and their enablers.
In Prey, scientist created microscopic flying bots (robots). They weren’t alive. But their programed swarms acted like they were. In our real-life horror story, bureaucrats from government agencies, NGO’s (Non-Government Organizations), and non-profits act like bots in a swarm. Like minnows in a school flitting about. There are no chief conspirators that direct their moves. They just naturally move to take more authority whenever they can. Panics, crises, and emergencies create opportunities to do this. They don’t flit though. They slither quietly: Administrative State bureaucrats as mindless blobs slithering in unison. Now that’s scary.
What triggers their moves? In recent House hearings, two journalists testified that Twitter hyped triggers that caused blobs to move. Vaccine Hesitancy is a trigger. That’s failure to mindlessly follow the herd. It can be catching. It arises from free will. From facts and research from unapproved sources. From independent views that Covid vaccines may not be all that effective. And that they can and do have serious adverse outcomes. And from questions about the official vaccine narrative: Covid vaccines are magic potions from white-coated Gods – who are not to be questioned. Never mind free speech.
Other triggers include questioning the Science – including the efficacy of face masks and social distancing and lockdowns and other mandates. Prescribing or administering Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are also triggers. These drugs have been in use for years for conditions other than Covid and have been shown effective on Covid when used early. Such off-label drug use is common practice by doctors who are free to use their professional skills and judgement.
These drugs were widely used in Africa and other third world countries where they were cheap and readily available. Coincidence that these countries suffered less from Covid than many rich countries? The use of the drugs was specifically proscribed (forbidden) in our Brave New World. In the meantime, patients here died or passed the point of no return waiting to get sick enough for treatment in compliance with official protocols. It’s OK if patients died on or from a ventilator in a hospital or without family in a nursing home as long as doctors and administrators followed the rules.
Misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation are also triggers. Misinformation commonly means inaccurate information due to honest mistakes. It’s spread with innocent intention to inform. Disinformation is deliberately
