My wife has a penchant for bad television shows, and one of her guilty pleasures is the hospital drama New Amsterdam.
Despite its unrealistic and melodramatic nature, she enjoys watching it before bed, much to my dismay.
This reminds me of the misguided Covid lockdown policies that were enforced based on flawed science.
Former NIH Director Francis Collins admitted that the social distancing guidelines were not supported by science during a closed-door interview.
This misguided approach led to devastating consequences, such as youth suicide rates, lost education opportunities for children, and the closure of small businesses.
Additionally, the origins of the virus that caused so much devastation remain up for debate, with the lab-leak theory no longer being dismissed as a conspiracy.
As we reflect on the impact of these ill-advised policies, it is essential to consider how to hold those responsible accountable and reclaim the time and opportunities lost.
