Malkin wrote an article for Mother's Day for the UNZ Review (a VDare-affiliated on-line publication) where she rails at the US Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Fauci:
How dare you accuse us parents of being “cavalier” with our children’s health, Fauci, when you are scaring them with dubious, unverified claims connecting a few cases of an alleged mystery pediatric disease to the coronavirus?At the first "how dare you" I thought Malkin was talking about the dubious medical claims to the dubious COVID-19, a virus which hardly reaches the level of previous flu epidemics (and for which there were no country lock-downs).
How dare you toss around so cavalierly the uncorroborated specter of “Kawasaki syndrome” (a rare but treatable disease) while untold numbers among the 57 million K-12 students suffer from the effects of panic-induced anxiety, depression, phobias and isolation?
But she's (metaphorically) yelling at the Fauci, for linking increased COVID with children with Kawasaki syndrome, whose reality the eminent Doctor seems to doubt.
Still, Malkin's article is so convoluted that I am not sure if she takes the COVID-19 as a pandemic-scaremongering, or if parents like her, with a daughter "battling chronic pain and joint hypermobility requiring multiple surgeries" (is that also the Kawasaki syndrome Fauci was talking about?) SHOULD take the COVID seriously. Again, it is not clear if Malkin's daughter has this syndrome, or another similar.
Is she agreeing with the lock-down? Is that why she is traveling up to small town Colorado for Mother's Day - "We drove out east from Colorado Springs to the tiny town of Calhan for a lovely little hike in the purple-and-gold-hued Paint Mines archeological district. Unmasked, we basked in the sunshine, fresh air and freedom. The park was teeming with moms like me who put family bonding over “social distancing. [KPA: How easy it is to 'social distance' when you have the natural social distancing of large natural areas, when social distancing becomes 'a glorious thing'.]"
Is she simply venting, since she believes/doesn't believe (depending on the story, and her mood) the COVID-Scare (a virus which is not as lethal as the least lethal of flus, and for which we've never had a country-wide lock-down)?
Or did she have to write an article on something newsworthy, and COVID had to be it?
In any case, as usual with our off-Main-Stream-Media, they cannot make up their minds, or more precisely, cannot come up with their own data analyses and conclusions that COVID is not much to write about other than to compare it with other phenomena, such as immigration, and/or rare and unpleasant diseases.
So, Malkin's article simply becomes a rage (at some machine).
