What has been so revealing during this created crisis is the appalling lack of empathy exhibited by the medical establishment. But on reflection it should not be surprising. Hayek in The Road to Serfdom points out that socialism is based on the premise that the ends justify the means, which is an inherently amoral position. Hence, it can only work when in the hands of amoral leaders.Since we have been trekking towards socialized medicine since the implementation of Medicare, can it really be a surprise that it is losing its empathy?
It is mind boggling to me! I have a lifelong friend who has her Masters in Nursing. She got a blood clot in her eye after the jab and had to go on medical leave for months! And she still won’t say or admit to anything. She just says she doesn’t know what caused it. Like,really? This is the Twilight Zone. Our PCP was forced to retire due to health reasons, which I know were caused by the jab. They don’t want to come to terms with this for whatever reason. 🤯
Now that trips, honey-dos and kitty-dos are done would like to expand. As I understood Hayek, the idea that the end justifies the means is essentially the major premise on which the final syllogism of socialism is constructed. He explains that they fail because either those in control fail to follow through to the final step from a lacking of the necessary ruthlessness or it morphs into totalitarianism. . Allowing individual freedom nullifies the overall effort of satisfying the whole at the cost of individual freedom causing it to freefall into chaos. But when the necessary degree of ruthlessness takes control, it will inevitably morph into a dictatorship.
And that makes it a perfect analogy to what we experienced from big med the last 3yrs. As it has moved into a more socialized aspect, it has failed miserably because there was too much free choice involved. It has had to evolve the required thuggery using Medicare/Medicaid as its laboratory. Covid gave the opportunity it needed to go whole hog and in the process demonstrated the degree of insensitivity we can expect from big med and the graduates of all the woke med schools here on out. Not a pretty picture.
