With the presidential pardon of Hunter Biden, many Americans were once again reminded that they now live under a two-tier justice system. Certain people and organizations are exempt from the normal judicial consequences of their actions, while others are not. Furthermore, the unfavored may also be punished not for any real crimes but rather for expressing unapproved opinions about politically controversial matters. As I see it, many Korean dramas have a special relevance to our current era.

(Editor’s note: I ran across Prof. Bruce Davidson’s review of two of my favorite books, “The Invasion of the Prostate Snatchers” and “The Great Prostate Hoax.” These books changed my life, turning ,e a fierce activist for patients with low-risk prostate cancer from being a mild-mannered medical editor on a major metropolitan newspaper. Davidson gave me permission to reprint his review from the original Brownstone Institute article. His conclusions are his own.

The excessive medical response to the Covid pandemic made one thing abundantly clear: Medical consumers really ought to do their own research into the health issues that impact them. Furthermore, it is no longer enough simply to seek out a “second opinion” or even a “third opinion” from doctors. They may well all be misinformed or biased. Furthermore, this problem appears to predate the Covid phenomenon.

At a formal ceremony for retiring professors at my university, each retiree got an opportunity to make a short speech. In my own speech, I mentioned that my last few years coincided with the Covid panic. Far more than the disease itself, what shocked me was the worldwide mass mind that sprang into existence seemingly overnight. All over the world, suddenly people were subjected to all-encompassing propaganda and pressures to conform to the same Covid policies.

At the end of 2023, I was talking with a man who has a PhD in one of the hard sciences and happened to mention deaths from the experimental Covid injections. In surprise he responded, “Wait, people died from the vaccines?” I was astonished that this person was still unaware of the fact of Covid injection fatalities. However, his case is not unique.

The Covid panic and repression did not happen in a vacuum. A pattern of persecuting people rather than engaging those with dissenting opinions had already been well-established in the educational world and the mainstream mass media, making the oppressive treatment Covid dissenters experienced somewhat predictable. Likewise, there was an obvious, widespread failure to apply critical thinking. Once upon a time, the educational world had a golden opportunity to improve itself dramatically.

At its recent Davos annual meeting, the WEF focused much of its attention on how to respond to the fictional “Disease X.” This alarmist concern about an imaginary threat follows hard on the heels of the still-unfolding worldwide devastation wrought by extreme “solutions” to a grossly exaggerated disease threat. Over the last two centuries, world history shows a marked tendency to take elaborate steps to deal with imaginary or minor problems.

Marking a dark beginning to the Japanese new year, a massive earthquake devastated Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture. Making matters worse, thousands at refuge centers, including many elderly people, have had to endure inane, unhealthy measures in response to some cases of Covid and influenza among them. These measures include propping open doors (in mid-winter) for ventilation and requesting that refugees wear masks even during sleep.

In a conformist society like Japan, individuals refusing to bow to the crowd stand out. That has certainly been true during the Covid panic. With the help of independent journalists, dissident doctors in Japan have been waging a battle for sensible medical practices about Covid and alerting the public to dangers. Their activities are essential in light of Japan’s government-controlled mainstream news media.
