This piece, which was published on November 6, 2021, was almost certainly suppressed by G++gle search and still is, it seems. Given all we now know, how does this piece hold up?
Ha--was just skimming through "Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans" by Peter Schweizer, which pretty much lays it out in black and white, as well. Why on Earth we should STILL be talking to the PRC given their criminal (yes, CRIMINAL) behavior in the months before any official policy moves here is purely astonishing to me. Certainly our faith in the alleged "experts" should have us embracing some new methodology to now dispense with this nonsense, given the damage done by only a handful of people who are still not behind bars for their misdeeds, Fauci among them.
Also might add, if you look up the 60 minutes segment about what happened at CDC in Atlanta with the returning flight from Cypress with a plane that was full of sick Covid passengers from a cruise ship in the Mediterranean, that issue alone, IMHO, should be motivation to fully privatize that entire agency. Really appalling story that is worth revisiting.
Yep, you called it in late 2021. What's amazing is that even two and a half years later, the truth-tellers have not yet succeeded in getting the official lies (most of them) retracted. I was just reading that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is still recommending that pregnant women get the Covid shot! With a few exceptions, the medical profession has been revealed to be a bunch of zombies, mindlessly pushing whatever therapies the drug companies have come up with, with the news media joining in.
It's heartening that most Americans are refusing the latest booster, but disheartening that the entire house of cards has not collapsed.
Max, this is outstanding! As I noted in my restack note, your "bootleggers and baptists" premise is what Bad Cat would refer to as "the low energy path." Various assholes, for various reasons, benefit from an outcome. And they seem to coordinate, but do so separately, with the outcome we see. Thanks for the economics and public choice lesson.
Scoping the problem to moral interests and financial interests is insufficient. If we are to topple this structure we must see that the totalitarian stool has three legs. Bootleggers and Baptists would not suceed without the Brainwashers. The Brainwashers leverage the gullibility of the public. The public's gullibility is a result of emotions trumping reason. Faced with "you'll kill a grandmother if you dont get vaccinated" Americans were Brainwashed. The Bootleggers and Baptists got their way. The Censors scored a big victory.

Just sitting here with you waiting on the next scare. The zombie army will swell again.

Yes! Beautifully said.
