Unfortunately Rauch is missing the whole purpose of govenment "Wars". The government does not want to eliminate the disease. The govenment wants to expand the disease and extend the epidemic forever.

This is an OLD procedure, first seen in the 1920 War On Alcohol. It returned in the '50s with the War On Commies, then LBJ's War On Poverty, then the War On Drugs, then the War On Terrorism, and now the War on Virus.

Every War On X is exquisitely crafted to create MORE of X, not LESS of X. More drunkards, more commies, more poor people, more drug addicts, more "terrorists", more viruses.

It's just good old Parkinson's Law. Bureaucracies DO NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS. Bureaucracies maintain and create new problems to justify eternal exponential growth of power and budget.

In this particular War On Virus, all of the "measures" are designed to ELIMINATE normal immunity and keep the epidemic going forever. This was perfectly clear from the start to everyone who understands how viruses and immunity work.
