Will the Walls of Jericho Finally ComeTumbling Down? Steven Kritz (November 30, 2025)

 

Will the Walls of Jericho Finally ComeTumbling Down?

Almost two years ago, I had written in Brownstone Journal that the entire country (including healthcare providers) could be placed into one of three scenarios regarding the Covid response:

Scenario 1: We handled the pandemic as best we could, given the information we had at the time. The results were less than desired due to the nature of the virus.

Scenario 2: Things didn’t go well because the mitigation modalities put in place (lockdowns, masking, social distancing, and multiple mRNA jabs) were not sufficiently followed and/or enforced. Of note, the UK Covid-19 Inquiry findings are most consistent with this scenario.

Scenario 3: Everything that was done was wrong, and was known to be wrong (and contrary to more than a century of public health policy and practice) when implemented. However, due to geopolitical, economic, and power considerations, it was done anyway.

Back then, I placed the percentage of the population that supported each scenario at 75%, 5%, and 20%, respectively. Sadly, despite overwhelming and irrefutable evidence that Scenario 3 is correct, and DHHS now has the expertise in place to move this evidence forward, as of today, the percentages have not budged from two years ago. 

While in my mind, it is way past time that the walls of Jericho came tumbling down, the Empire (consisting of the medical-pharmaceutical-government complex) continues to strike back with as much ferocity as ever, and appears to still be holding court. The Empire has been strengthened by the fact that healthcare providers, particularly physicians, are now overwhelmingly employees of the health systems establishment (an unstated, but key outcome goal of the Affordable Care Act), and with the loss of autonomy (and concurrent loss of their souls), healthcare providers’ state of denial reigns supreme.
