OH: Demented Biden’s Coronavirus Advisor Told the Elderly to Avoid Flu Shots, Vaccines.
When will Biden be submitting his dementia test results?
Doesn't know where he is, what question he is answering, what office he is running for, thinks his sister is his wife.
His advisor, Ezekiel Emanuel, stated in an op-ed in The Atlantic that at age 75 life simply isn't worth living after that point. The op-ed attempts to convince the reader that death is preferable to living after 75.
Emanuel advises the elderly to refuse life-saving medical care — the exact kind of care needed to combat the coronavirus. Given the fact that the coronavirus poses the greatest risk for the elderly, Biden's choice of Emanuel is downright terrifying.
Emanuel is one of those creeps who likes to think about who you throw out of the lifeboat if you are low on water, and who you eat first if you are hungry.
"Here is a simple truth that many of us seem to resist: living too long is also a loss," Emanuel writes. "It renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived. It robs us of our creativity and ability to contribute to work, society, the world. It transforms how people experience us, relate to us, and, most important, remember us. We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic."
Biden's Adviser is telling older voters that their lives are not worth living. Emanuel's op-ed is not just insulting to the dignity of the elderly — it actively encourages them to avoid medical care.
Biden's coronavirus advisor actively encourages the elderly to "think of an alternative to succumbing to that slow constriction of activities and aspirations imperceptibly imposed by aging."
What about simple stuff? Flu shots are out. Certainly if there were to be a flu pandemic, a younger person who has yet to live a complete life ought to get the vaccine or any antiviral drugs.
Yes, Biden's coronavirus advisor encouraged people over 75 to avoid flu shots. Joe Biden himself is 77. Yet Emanuel's advocacy against basic health treatments extends further.
A big challenge is antibiotics for pneumonia or skin and urinary infections. Antibiotics are cheap and largely effective in curing infections. It is really hard for us to say no. Indeed, even people who are sure they don’t want life-extending treatments find it hard to refuse antibiotics. But, as Osler reminds us, unlike the decays associated with chronic conditions, death from these infections is quick and relatively painless. So, no to antibiotics.
Why advocate against flu shots, vaccines, antibiotics, and life-sustaining interventions?
You see, Ezekiel Emanuel is not a random doctor. He served as a top health care advisor to President Obama and was a central figure in the push for Obamacare. His end goal is socialized medicine, socialized medicine involves health rationing and the ultimate power of life and death.
When the government decides who does and who does not receive lifesaving medical care, it may decide the lives of the elderly are not worth living. Experts in Italy have warned that the elderly will not receive intensive care as the coronavirus overwhelms the Italian health care system. This kind of rationing is arguably a feature — not a bug — of socialized medicine, and Emanuel advocates for it.
If the elderly resign themselves to death, then there is less demand for lifesaving care and treatments. The government need not ration care if savvy doctors can convince the elderly to reject it of their own accord.
These arguments are barbaric and only serve to illustrate the evils of socialized medicine. Health care need not be a zero-sum game — human innovation working through free choices and markets can rise to the occasion and provide medicine for the young and old alike. Yet the kind of central planning increasingly in vogue on the left views wealth as a pie to be distributed, rather than as a plant to be grown and cultivated.
Biden himself, he is 77, two years older than the age when Ezekiel Emanuel said life becomes not worth living. His op-ed made a case against Biden's presidential bid.
It's extremely chilling that Biden would select for his coronavirus health advisory team a person who asked the elderly to turn down life-saving medical care — especially flu shots and vaccines. Does Biden know anything about what is going on around him?
