COVID-19

Ilana Mercer, April 18, 2020

  • “Is there one GOPer running in the primaries who has promised and comprehends how to ensure that no centrally or locally directed lock-down will ever occur again? Any conservative campaigning on a serious examination of lockdown crimes against the citizens and travel restrictions on the unvaxed? Has even one of the Republican candidates traipsing through Fox News’ green room addressed the creation of an unvaccinated underclass (villains all) and a vaccinated upper-class (virtuous)? Who among these contemptible clowns clawing their way to D.C. has even mentioned the fact that we the unvaxed are still being denied access—based not on active aggression we’re committing, but rooted in our peaceful rejection of the corporate, State-mediated aggression against us: We won’t take the Hemlock. Is a single Republican moron proposing to ensure that never again will the medical idiocracy—bona fides established during the pandemic—come between a dying patient and his family?”—ILANA Mercer, “Tucker Cancels GOP, So Should You: ‘Republicans Have Done Nothing To Defend YOU,’” May 19, 2022
  • “The COVID index that matters is mortality; not the number of infected, with which we must learn to live. Covid is morphing in ways evolutionarily conducive to its long-term survival. It is, for the most—and just like the flu—living with its hosts, not killing them off.”ILANA Mercer, “‘Tarded’ Medical Idiocrat Won’t Treat ‘Unscannables’ Like Me,” April 21, 2022.
  • “The trajectory of a pandemic is such that it sees the infectious agent powering it become less lethal, not more lethal. COVID is thus now endemic. While the current BA.2 variant du jour is more transmissible, it is also much more benign than previous variants. It is as it should be. This, independent, honest epidemiologists will confirm. For their part, human beings have been acquiring natural immunity; and communities herd immunity.”ILANA Mercer, “‘Tarded’ Medical Idiocrat Won’t Treat ‘Unscannables’ Like Me,” April 21, 2022.
  • “The only deviants in this sad saga are those who’ve empowered themselves to deploy Covid as a cudgel against their betters.”ILANA Mercer, “‘Tarded’ Medical Idiocrat Won’t Treat ‘Unscannables’ Like Me,” April 21, 2022.
  • “Unlike the medical Idiocracy, the wily little RNA strand that is Covid acts rationally.”ILANA Mercer, “‘Tarded’ Medical Idiocrat Won’t Treat ‘Unscannables’ Like Me,” April 21, 2022.
  • “The masses crave an opiate. Their political overlords know how to exploit the attendant and innate tendency for groupthink. As soon as the usefulness of one faith (Covid) expires; another takes its place (Ukraine), courtesy of the ruling elites, and with the complicity of the crowds. The Covid conformity has been replaced with the requirement that we all find religion on Ukraine.”ILANA Mercer, “True Story: Russia Finds WMD In Ukraine!”, March 10, 2022.
  • “Trudeau is a dim dilettante, who inherited wealth, but no sense of noblesse oblige and none of his fabled father’s smarts and charisma. Just look at sonny boy’s mincing stride, sausaged as he is in designer suits. Observe the vain coif, the pasty, rapidly decaying (from moral rot à la Dorian Gray) doughy face and hollow gaze, so like that of his mom, Margaret.”ILANA Mercer,Good Vs. Evil: Canada’s Truckers Battle Justine Trudeau For Us All,” Feb 17, 2022
  • “Justine Trudeau was practically conceived and raised at the debauch Studio 54. In all his forced, affectatious attempts at gravitas, this dirigiste is now telling Canada’s salt of the earth, the truckers, to turn tail and return to life as his much-maligned second-class subjects.”ILANA Mercer,Good Vs. Evil: Canada’s Truckers Battle Justine Trudeau For Us All,” Feb 17, 2022
  • “A look at Trudeau’s demonic deeds and his vacant demeanor and one is reminded of the words of famed French novelist Jules Renard: ‘I don’t know if God exists, but it would be better for his reputation if he didn’t.'”ILANA Mercer,Good Vs. Evil: Canada’s Truckers Battle Justine Trudeau For Us All,” Feb 17, 2022
  • “Trudeau has inflicted horrifying material destruction and lasting moral damage. He has battered the truckers but not bettered them. It’s time for this dreck, this spawn of Studio 54, to go on home, for good. Good people want no truck with Trudeau.”ILANA Mercer,Good Vs. Evil: Canada’s Truckers Battle Justine Trudeau For Us All,” Feb 17, 2022
  • On banning Novak Djokovic: “Covid has given cover to legions of mediocre busybodies whose tentacles have enervated all fields; sports included. Under the cloak of Covid control, these tyrannical state stooges are suppressing and taming individuality and excellence.”ILANA Mercer,Enough About The Uyghurs! Speak Up About America’s Liberties Lost,January 20, 2022.
  • “Covid-19 treatments have been discouraged, heavily circumscribed—even punished—and centrally controlled and regulated by the Pharma State. No well-controlled, longitudinal, safety studies are required in order to unleash these intravenous (officially intramuscular) potions upon the public. As to liability: Vaccine manufacturers are immune from it. The preponderance of litigation under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program fails, confirms a complicit Reuters. Thus can vaccine-makers just make ‘em and wait on The State to mandate them.”ILANA Mercer,The OMG! Variant: The West’s Disgraceful Response,” December 6, 2021.
  • “The corrupt COVID cartel includes politicians, heavily vested clinicians with gigs on TV (and book deals in the pipeline), and, naturally, moneyed vaccine manufacturers: The CEOs of Moderna, Pfizer, BioNTech, and Johnson & Johnson. No wonder the coercive marketing strategy the Covid Carter lends itself to is make ‘em and mandate them.”ILANA Mercer,The OMG! Variant: The West’s Disgraceful Response,” December 6, 2021.

  • “Channeling the superstar of the satire ‘Yes, Prime Minister,’ the marvelously sardonic permanent secretary Sir Humphrey: ‘Yes, Prime Minister, the 55-year time-frame to produce the Pfizer Covid vaccine data is well within the law. No need to rush, if you know what I mean [smiles deliciously]. But I’ll start the paperwork, shall I?.”—ILANA Mercer, “FDA Makes Fools Of Pfizer ‘Clot-Shot’ Recipients; Candace Kneecaps Caucasians,” November 25, 2021.
  • “By making Pfizer’s COVID vaccine data essentially unavailable for scrutiny in their totality for decades to come—the FDA has in effect classified the data upon which it based a decision to license Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine.”—ILANA Mercer, “FDA Makes Fools Of Pfizer ‘Clot-Shot’ Recipients; Candace Kneecaps Caucasians,” November 25, 2021.

  • “Nowhere is a rights-based argument being made, or an argument based on the right to question the safety of the vaccine. Nowhere are individual sovereignty and self-ownership mentioned.”—ILANA Mercer, “Self-Ownership And The Right To Reject The Pharma-State’s Hemlock,” October 28, 2021
  • “As the West careens toward the Covid-centered anthill society, nobody identifies and defends the individual’s dominion over his body and his right to reject the Pharma-State’s Hemlock prescription for that body. As emphasized, Republicans’ case against Covid mandates indirectly capitulates to coercion.”—ILANA Mercer, “Self-Ownership And The Right To Reject The Pharma-State’s Hemlock,” October 28, 2021
  • “One hears a perfectly calm case being made on the Left for outcome-based coercion: rights-violations work well to bring about Covid vaccine-compliance, so let’s violate us some rights.”—ILANA Mercer, “Self-Ownership And The Right To Reject The Pharma-State’s Hemlock,” October 28, 2021
  • “Republicans prattle about religious exemptions (state granted!) and natural-immunity based exemptions (state granted!) from the Covid jab—but they have not the faintest urge to defend the natural, God-given right of self-ownership.”—ILANA Mercer, “Self-Ownership And The Right To Reject The Pharma-State’s Hemlock,” October 28, 2021
  • “The Covid carnage under Fauci does not take into account his role in delegitimizing therapeutics. Just imagine if Fauci had similarly downplayed and delegitimized treatment for HIV/AIDS, and had insisted, as he does today, that salvation lay predominantly in a vaccine against that particular RNA strand?”—ILANA Mercer, “The Fauci Quiz: How Many Americans Did Gnome, M.D., Allegedly Kill?” September, 7, 2021

  • “Without any qualms, American authorities have boarded up small businesses, and bankrupted, even arrested, their “scofflaw” owners for the crime of working.

  • Conservatives keep insisting COVID quarantined kids are missing out on an education. But aren’t progressive schools and pedagogues—overseen by teacher unions—responsible for the rot; for the monument-smashing, monumental ignorance among the youth?”—ILANA Mercer, “Mercer Quotes,” July 9, 2020.
  • “Here’s the rub: A highly contagious virus that jumps from host to host and from house to house makes a mockery of the choice and voluntarism associated with private property.  Nevertheless, in a free society, the protective borders of private property are better than the State’s boot on our necks. That is if we want to breathe.”—ILANA Mercer, “Private Property And COVID: Choice, Not Force, Part 2,” May 28, 2020.
  • “In an ideal libertarian world, social distancing and mitigation would be voluntary, not mandatory. Some—hopefully most—commercial establishments will choose to protect their clients, colleagues and associates by sanitizing, suiting-up and spacing consumers and employees; others, sadly, will opt not to. Choice, or voluntarism, is the libertarian way.”—ILANA Mercer, “Private Property And COVID: Choice, Not Force, Part 2,” May 28, 2020.
  • “In our irreparably fractious and fragmented country, polite requests by private property proprietors for customers to cover their mugs and conduct themselves considerately on private places of commerce have caused Antifa-like anger and deadly violence to erupt. Some of our countrymen have even killed or injured innocent others for such daring. The violent urges to violate the personal space of others aren’t surprising; they’re a symptom of a society that has lost all social bonds.”—ILANA Mercer, “Private Property And COVID: Choice, Not Force, Part 2,” May 28, 2020.
  • “Too many Americans refuse to wear face-masks on the grounds that you can’t take a good selfie, or that it’s momentarily inconvenient. Look good today, worry about COVID-19 tomorrow. And, ‘my rights’: If something is not pleasurable, it is often mistakenly considered an infringement of rights. To equate liberty with petulant incivility is a mistake; it cheapens liberty.”—ILANA Mercer, “Real Societies Use Prophylactics, Part 1,” May 21, 2020.
  • “That you are asked to sanitize, suite-up and give people space means only that you are inconvenienced. That you are being requested not to encroach upon others—not to rub-up against them, or expel sputum on them: This is but an inconvenience. In the context of a pandemic, these are quotidian requests, to be associated with civility and comity. They crimp your style, not your rights. The thing that infringes on your natural rights to sustain life and liberty is the lockdown. Sequestering you so that you cannot feed yourself and your dependents is a violation of both natural and constitutional rights. But prevention? Please! Prevention is about delayed gratification. When you go out on the town or to work, you have to make an effort to protect others. After all, isn’t asking members of society to cover-up and keep a distance as non-invasive as a request can get? Give it some thought.”—ILANA Mercer, “Real Societies Use Prophylactics, Part 1,” May 21, 2020.
  • “The outcome of future pandemics hinges on the American people’s ability to strike fear into the hearts of their leaders, irrespective of party affiliation—a fear that’ll make it impossible for these shiftless characters to shift blame for their failings.”—ILANA Mercer, ‘Who Invited The World To Infect America?” April 30, 2020.
  • “Bill Gates’ ‘vision’ has given us transient labor that flits between Wuhan and Washington.”—ILANA Mercer, ‘Who Invited The World To Infect America?” April 30, 2020.
  • “China didn’t force the traitors of the American economy to shift crucial production lines to its country and strand Americans without surgical and N-95 masks and medication; homegrown turncoats made that decision, all by their lonesome.”—ILANA Mercer, ‘Who Invited The World To Infect America?” April 30, 2020.
  • “Government committees are where accountability goes to die. Governments create committees to conceal their own culpability.”—ILANA Mercer, ‘Who Invited The World To Infect America?” April 30, 2020.
  • “Each and every individual is or could be, inadvertently, harboring a weapon of mass destruction. Yes, a WMD—for how many men and women have died and will still die because of the inadvertent actions of the coronavirus-carrying Index Patients, during the ‘seeding events’?”—ILANA Mercer, “The Ethics of Social Distancing: A Libertarian Perspective,” April 23, 2020.
  • “Each one of us could be firing off deadly virus into a defenseless population, bereft of immunity. Each one of us could become armed and dangerous, or be felled by someone who is. In this case, individuals who willfully violate social distancing strictures can be viewed as willful aggressors against innocent others.”—ILANA Mercer, “The Ethics of Social Distancing: A Libertarian Perspective,” April 23, 2020.
  • “In a free society, the patient is sovereign. America is founded upon the idea of individual rights. The individual charts his destiny, not the doctor. On his death bed, the patient should be able to decide whether to try a promising but unproven palliative therapy.”—ILANA Mercer, “Kung Flu Is A Killer, All Right, But So Are The Bureaucrats,” April 9, 2020.
  • Coronavirus: “The depraved calculus that went into advising Americans initially, and unintuitively, not to shield viral entry points—mouth, eyes and nose—was purely utilitarian. It stemmed from a fear that, by protecting their health, citizens would contribute to scarcity and undermine the health of healthcare workers. Sold to the public as settled science, the initial mask fallacy-disguised-as-policy was social engineering for the sake of resource conservation.”—ILANA Mercer, “Kung Flu Is A Killer, All Right, But So Are The Bureaucrats,” April 9, 2020.
  • “The Center for Disease Control: A cumbersome bureaucracy, which tightly controls both testing capacity and criteria. Such centralization is everywhere and always detrimental to the screening and segregating of the infected, and, ultimately, to [coronavirus] disease containment.”—ILANA Mercer, “Unmasking Statist, Socialist Propaganda About ‘Face Masks’,” March 5, 2020
  • “Be it for Jihad or germs, the government prohibits rational profiling. As to Jihad, airport personnel screen everybody alike, grandma from Nebraska and Abdullah from Mecca. As to germs, the CDC advises screening for symptoms of the Ebola disease. If a traveler is ‘asymptomatic,’ CDC guidelines, given with government imprimatur, prohibit the detention or quarantine of nationals or residents from the ‘hot zone’ countries. All this is in the service of the deadly dogma of political correctness.”—ILANA Mercer, “Dying For Obama’s Deadly Dogma,” October 17, 2014
