The Covid-19 pandemic turned this country's workers into patients, worshippers into zoomers, and its citizens into subjects. We are now denizens. Strictly speaking, it's not Covid's fault. The fault lies squarely at the feet of the ruling class at the federal, state, and local levels. The medical industrial complex (Big Pharma and Big Government with its useful idiots in the complicit media) successfully transformed healthcare's medical paternalism into medical tyranny. Seemingly, overnight.

Where were Christian ethicists? There were lockdowns, school closures, businesses ruined, parks filled with sand, vaccination passports, and thousands coerced to receive a medical intervention to retain employment they were carrying out before Covid-19 vaccines were available. Informed consent? Coercion? Therapeutic proportionality? Autonomy in assessing beneficence and non-maleficence?

Where was the Church? Does the Christian faith have moral eyes and ears or an ethical voice or is she deaf, dumb, and blind to the concerns of the common man? Does the sovereignty of God in the area of ethics even apply or must Christians accept the utilitarian ethics of soft totalitarianism? 

I am simply asking the questions.

There will be a reckoning. It's already started...
