RUSH: I mentioned Alex Berenson. Alex Berenson is a former New York Times reporter (which gives him credibility, you see) and he\u2019s pointing out, he\u2019s tweeting, he\u2019s writing, he\u2019s speaking. He\u2019s essentially saying that the models, in addition to being wrong about the way over-projection of deaths were also very wrong about places like Florida where mitigation wasn\u2019t imposed until relatively late.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>He said the models are wrong about Oklahoma where there were no lockdowns. So among the things that Berenson is saying, he says, “There doesn\u2019t seem to be any correlation between the lockdown and whether or not the epidemic has spread wide and fast.”<\/p>\n

Now, those are fightin\u2019 words to Dr. Fauci and the Scarf Queen and others in the medical community who want to believe that social distancing and mitigation is the sole explanation for any improvement in anything, and I\u2019m here to tell you — and I\u2019m just a layman — social distancing cannot explain California.<\/p>\n

It cannot explain the state of Washington. It cannot explain Oregon. Remember those two stories we shared? There were stories all over California in November and December about a new flu outbreak that people were getting. Some people were dying from it. They just thought it was the flu. It no doubt was corona, but nobody knew it.<\/p>\n

It hadn\u2019t been clarified. It hadn\u2019t been quantified. It was just there. You know, corona, I think, first hit the public lexicon in December when a ChiCom lab technician in Wuhan started warning people about it, and then he quickly disappeared. Nobody could find him. They still haven\u2019t found the guy. I think they know that he died.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right. He died from the virus. But in November, October-November in California, people had it. I\u2019ve talked to people who were in Wisconsin and Illinois over Thanksgiving and Christmas who came down with something that just… It had \u2019em down for two weeks. They plugged through it. They just thought it was the flu or a bad cold.<\/p>\n

Now they are convinced it was corona. Last fall. This would explain the wide number of people, large number of people with immunity to it now who built up antibodies to it, which is, you know, along the way toward creating herd immunity. Herd immunity, by the way, is how a society deals with and builds up immunity to these things.<\/p>\n

Herd immunity is not a bad thing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a very naturally occurring event based on human behavior, based on people being outside and contracting the virus. If you\u2019re sick, you stay at home. If you\u2019re susceptible, you stay at home. If you\u2019re young, healthy, in the low-risk category, you go out. You mingle, you do your thing, you do your job and what have you. And people were doing this unaware that there was a new virus.<\/p>\n

Alex Berenson said, “The precipitous drop in cases…” He says, “Aside from New York, nationally … the hospitals are empty.” You\u2019re not supposed to say that, by the way. You\u2019re not supposed to report that. You\u2019re not supposed to repeat that hospitals are empty. You\u2019re not supposed to collect video showing a lack of activity in hospital beds.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had people call this program — nurses — who say they are on call, and they\u2019ve not been called in various parts of the country. So Alex Berenson “said the precipitous drop in cases has occurred before lockdowns would have had a chance to have an impact, saying it would take several weeks for social distancing measures to take effect … and there\u2019s a two-week lag between the onset of symptoms and death.”<\/p>\n

So he\u2019s wondering, “Why have we shut down the country?” And, man, are they going after this guy on the left — oh, especially because this guy used to work at the New York Times. He\u2019s the worst kind of apostate. He\u2019s a heretic. He\u2019s a traitor. This guy deserves to be sent to the gallows. “‘Why Have We Shut Down the Country?\u2019 Ex-New York Times Reporter Challenges the Dire Coronavirus Models.”<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here\u2019s a longer story — and the key to this is, “There doesn\u2019t seem to be any correlation between the lockdown [of people] and whether or not the epidemic has spread wide and fast.” Do you realize how contrary to the conventional wisdom that is? I mean, those are fighting words from Alex Berenson.<\/p>\n

“There doesn\u2019t seem to be any correlation between [locking people down] and whether or not the epidemic has spread wide and fast.” There might be. I\u2019m using Berenson here. If there\u2019s one Berenson, there\u2019s a bunch of \u2019em out there; we just don\u2019t know who they are. There may be a tsunami building as people start to realize that most of what they\u2019re being told may not be true.<\/p>\n

It may be partially true, may not be credible, because all of the models have failed. All of the models have been wrong. If a model has to be tweaked every time new data comes in, it\u2019s a bad model. Stop and think of it. You have a model. It\u2019s gonna project death and hospitalization due to coronavirus.<\/p>\n

You plug in your numbers, factor in social distancing, and say, “Oh, a hundred thousand to 240,000 dead.” Then they have to tweak every time new data comes in that shows their original projection was wrong. They have to tweak the model. Why do they get away with this?<\/p>\n

How do they maintain no accountability? How do they maintain credibility? How do they get to tweak their models? Because they\u2019re doomsayers, and the doomsayers are never wrong. See, models are supposed to predict the future, not conform to facts already in evidence. And the models are being used politically by people who have an agenda. The models are being used to conform to facts or to confirm facts, not actually predict the future, \u2019cause if their primary objective is predict the future, they\u2019ve blown it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next question is why the slavish attachment to models that have been wrong from the start. Speaking for myself, if I had a source for information that I trusted enough that I would repeat whatever the source told me about anything to you through the Golden EIB Microphone, and then I learned this source was wrong about everything. I would dump the source, I would apologize, I would beg to forgive you and I\u2019d come close to identifying the source. I wouldn\u2019t do that, but I would certainly tell you that I have been hoodwinked, that I have been wrong and I am terribly sorry.<\/p>\n

There hasn\u2019t been any of that. There hasn\u2019t been any acknowledgment that the data has been wrong. There hasn\u2019t been any apology for it. Instead, there has been a slavish attachment to these models despite the fact that they\u2019ve been wrong. So I, nicknamed Mr. Curiosity, want to know why. Why the slavish attachment to stuff that\u2019s wrong? Why no acknowledgment that it\u2019s been wrong? And why, when they do attempt to cover-up for the fact they\u2019re wrong, “Well, we just now started to factor in social distancing.”<\/p>\n

No, you didn\u2019t. Social distancing has been part of the model equation since day one. So was it hubris? Is it overconfidence? Is it incompetence? Or is it something worse? Is it intentional misinformation for whatever reason these people might have in mind? The fact is these models, like pretty much everything else in government, have been hijacked by the left-wing Democrat political agenda.<\/p>\n

So two things, two things could happen after this is over — and it will be over. It will be ending. And your town, which is a ghost town, will not be a ghost town. There will be hustle and bustle. You will be up and about and out and around. So the two things that could happen after this is over. We either lose all confidence in our establishment elite government actors — folks, I\u2019m telling you here, I predicted my first day back after being gone for two weeks, I was so bad, I didn\u2019t even know how long I was out. I had to ask Snerdley.<\/p>\n

My first day back, I started in on the models because I know how worthless they are and how they\u2019ve been used in climate change. And I said there\u2019s gonna be a debate over did we need to shut down this economy? And that debate is going to happen, particularly as the death rate continues to fall, it is going to happen. Now, what\u2019s gonna happen along with that, we\u2019re either gonna lose all confidence — and I\u2019ll tell you something else. To a lot of people in this country, that confidence has already gone. To a lot of people, legitimately and understandably, the confidence in government expertise has already vanished. Either that or we\u2019re gonna have greater confidence in them than we ever did. Don\u2019t know how it\u2019s gonna shake out yet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This reporter, Alex Berenson, is a leftist, his leftist resume is perfection. But apparently he can independently and critically think. Apparently he is curious along with being a leftist. Makes him an oddity. He has been sounding the alarm on numerous fronts. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s been kicked out of all the clubs now. Here\u2019s a pull quote from the story that I have on Berenson from Fox News.<\/p>\n

“‘I went to Yale and I worked for the New York Times, the people on the left hold themselves out as being science-driven, as being smarter, they think they\u2019re smarter but they won\u2019t look at facts that won\u2019t meet their narratives,\u2019 he said. He voiced frustration that these arguments have been ignored by a lot of mainstream outlets. ‘That is frustrating for me … but everyone needs to hear this counterargument, whether or not it\u2019s right, you need to hear it because the damage we are doing to ourselves right now is so enormous.'”<\/p>\n

Is it really necessary? He\u2019s not satisfied that any of this has been necessary. He said, “the left holds themselves out as science-driven.” They\u2019re not science-driven. They have distorted the definition of science. The minute they attach the word, say, “consensus” to science, they\u2019re admitting it\u2019s not science. There\u2019s no consensus to science. Science is not up to a vote. This may surprise some of you young people. Scientists don\u2019t vote on what they think is science and what isn\u2019t. But in order to persuade the unwashed and the uneducated, they think that there is power in telling you the consensus of scientists agrees in man-made climate change. Well, there is no consensus. Science either is or isn\u2019t. It\u2019s not up to a vote.<\/p>\n

Berenson said, “Aside from New York, nationally there\u2019s been no health system crisis.” Our health system has handled everything thrown at it outside of New York. “In fact,” he writes, “to be truly correct, there has been a health system crisis, but the crisis is that the hospitals are empty. This is true in Florida where the lockdown was late, this is true in southern California where the lockdown was early, it\u2019s true in Oklahoma where there is no statewide lockdown. There doesn\u2019t seem to be any correlation between the lockdown and whether or not the epidemic has spread wide and fast.”<\/p>\n

I love the focus on hospitalizations. It\u2019s been one of mine.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to the phones, Mark in Houston. You\u2019re next. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. Regarding what you said earlier about listening, I just want to say: I always have said, “For a deaf guy that talks a lot, you\u2019re the best listener I\u2019ve ever heard.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: But I do want to say about Dr. Birx, her number one priority about a month ago had to do with one thing, and that was the amount of hospital overflow. That has been taken care of; I thank her. She needs to get all the accolades along with Dr. Fauci, and they have — we have — accomplished that task.<\/p>\n

I have gotten more educated about personal hygiene, and for the rest of my life I will look at germ warfare in a different way, and I thank her for that too. And so now congratulations. She has accomplished the task, and it\u2019s time for us to move forward, and we can handle anything that springs forth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, this is an interesting point. Mark here has an interesting observation. What he\u2019s saying — \u2019cause he said a lot there. He said that the original reason for the lockdown of the country and the shutdown of the U.S. economy was not just social distancing, but it was to clear the way for hospitals so they would not be overloaded, so that they could manage the overwhelming number of COVID-19 cases that were going to happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"New York has the biggest pressure on the hospital system in the country, and the hospitalizations are coming down. They didn\u2019t need the Javits Center emergency hospital setup. I don\u2019t think they needed the hospital that was built in Central Park. In Seattle, they built a 250-bed hospital at CenturyLink Field. Not a single bed was used. So Mark\u2019s point here is that the original purpose — to avoid overburdening the hospitals — has been met.<\/p>\n

Well, but there\u2019s also social distancing — and, by the way, these people are glued to social distancing. They not gonna give this up. So even if it could be demonstrated social distancing really doesn\u2019t have anything to do with it in many places — which is Alex Berenson\u2019s point. Alex Berenson\u2019s point is that it\u2019s too wide a variance in the number of cases in various states that had social distancing early or late or never. You would think there\u2019d be consistency.<\/p>\n

If social distancing is the determinator, then in states where there wasn\u2019t any for a very long time, they should be overrun with cases. They\u2019re not. They\u2019re not in Oklahoma. They\u2019re not in Florida, where social distancing was mandated late by the governor compared to other places. So his point is social distancing cannot be the explanation, single explanation. But Dr. Fauci and the Scarf Queen are wedded to it, and they\u2019re not gonna come off of it, folks.<\/p>\n

Just be prepared. They\u2019re not going to come off of it, just like they didn\u2019t come off “Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election.” They haven\u2019t come off that yet. Oh, by the way, did you see Bill Barr? Bill Barr was on Laura Ingraham last night, and he said that Durham is not just looking at a report, Durham is looking at indictments. I told you when Durham put together the grand jury that indictments were gonna be coming.<\/p>\n

Barr gave a lot of advance information about how Durham\u2019s investigation is going — and Barr has even said that he thinks this reaction to coronavirus has been way over the top, particularly shutting down churches. You know, government has the power to do it, but he thinks that it\u2019s been… It was fascinating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
