The Question Fools Don't Ask | Frontpage Mag

Yet, for two years, that question — “What is the price?” — was avoided by virtually every political leader in the world as well as the vast majority of epidemiologists and physicians, journalists and editors, college presidents, deans, professors and K-12 teachers.
They never asked, “What is the price?” with regard to locking down businesses, schools and, in many cases, entire countries.That is why so many political leaders, teachers, college presidents, doctors, epidemiologists and other scientists turned out to be fools.
