John Hinderaker’s COVID-19 “Cognitive Dissonance Reduction” Theories… Continue, Unabated.

Since early March, John has pushed the obvious lie that COVID was no worse than a sort of bad year’s… seasonal flu. Wrong.

Then it was… it would die out by late summer. Nope.

Then, by late May (when that one was definitively eclipsed by pandemic bio-scientific facts), he began disgustingly saying we could no longer afford (economic theory!) to avoid killing so few of “the olds”.

By mid-July, he was sayingthe deaths in the US were mostly… over“. Obviously wrong, the very moment he wrote it — as deaths were accelerating wildly, by then in Texas, Florida and Georgia.

Then it was… wait for it!… that we would soon hit herd immunity. [Preposterously wrong(!), not without over two million US deaths.]

Having been jaw-slackingly wrong — at every turn, he most recently resorted to arguing that the UK death rates meant too many US people think the death rates are higher than they are. But he entirely-neglected to explain why (he thinks) that might logically lead to a conclusion that we should fully reopen. Or how precisely that brings 170,000 people back to life — from the dead. [That’s like suffering SIXTY… 9/11s in a row, day after day, BTW.]

He reiterated that latest nonsense, again tonight. Amplified it, in fact. [We are now closely-approaching the worst record — on mortality, against numbers of infected — of any post industrial high-tech nation, in truth.]

But all of this — for John — is offered solely to reduce his own personal cognitive dissonance (because, as depicted at left, he needed a haircut!?). In all likelihood, by this time next month… 200,000 or more Americans will be dead of COVID-19. You know, the virus John glibly told us in March might kill fewer than 40,000. He was wrong by a factor of… five-fold.

And the death-toll will keep climbing, for so long as John poo-poos the need for masks, and real social distancing.

Feckless, immoral… moron, that guy.

Word, to John’s mother.
