Remember Alex Berenson, the reality-based reporter on COVID who got banned from Twitter for saying more or less what everyone now admits to be true?

He has his own newsletter, which I read, and I want to tell you about a recent issue.

He is predicting that the crazies [I prefer the term "Rona Nazis" . . . SC] have overplayed their hand, and that their apparent strength at the moment may not be what it seems.

Among his points:

(1) Barely 15 percent of children aged 5-11 have been vaccinated. That number is not going to get anywhere near where the crazies want it. Those weird parents who were panicked about a virus that is zero threat to their kids have already raced out to get them vaccinated.

(2) Although we have a handful of examples of mandates for children 5-11, Berenson notes that Democrats aren’t talking about that. It’s obvious even to them that it’s a loser.

(3) How may different federal courts have found one or another Biden vaccine mandate unconstitutional? Berenson: “I believe the answer is ALL. All the courts.”

(4) What are the odds that the Supreme Court follows suit? At this point, overwhelming.

(5) With regard to the boosters, Berenson asks: “Do you know anyone who actually believes the public health authority/media attempt to rewrite history and pretend that boosters within six months of vaccination were planned?”

If boosters do any good, then nobody will need a fourth shot. If they don’t, then once again it’s game over for the crazies. Willingness to take a third shot is far lower than for the first two, and of course for a fourth shot it will be lower still.

The crazies are creating more people for our side every day.

Berenson has more to say, but you get the idea. All is not lost. Keep fighting.

I do have one slight criticism of Berenson. I preface it by reminding the reader that I have promoted Berenson’s material heavily, on Twitter and in this newsletter. I am not a detractor.

But nobody is perfect, and I will say this: Berenson’s strategy of avoiding people who are outside the so-called mainstream, in the misplaced hope that he would thereby be taken seriously by the Establishment, was always doomed to failure, and (as you and I could have predicted) wound up doing him no good in the end.

There is a lesson for all of us in that . . .
