Professor Martin Kulldorf, a Harvard epidemiologist has been making the case against COVID passports and mandates. In a recent post, he notes the discriminatory effects of the mandates against the working class. A similar analysis could be applied to the differences in the effects on the mandates on the young versus the old. Young people have an extremely low morality risk from COVID in the first place but they have suffered far greater harm from the lockdowns and mandates that the old.
In part, the harm to young people is from a failure to follow The Science. The accepted wisdom of epidemiologists from the outset was to isolate the vulnerable populations and let everyone else continue with their business. The CDC and most Western countries did the exact opposite. Isolate everyone and lockdown the economy. The longer term effects of these failed policies are increasingly becoming apparent. It is too bad that many places are intensifying these failed policies through vaccine mandates and passports. However, at least
Denmark has the right idea.
