The Great (un)American Experiment / American Thinker
DTA / American Thinker / feb 21, 2021
A 2018 Pew Research poll revealed that a majority of Americans opposed the use of animals in scientific research. Opponents argue the practice is “inhumane and unnecessary.” While certainly an interesting topic of discussion and I’m certain the debate will rage on for years to come, I am more interested in another animal experiment that has gone on for the past year. I call it “the Great un-American experiment of 2020…and beyond.”
In this grand new experiment, humans, rather than mice or monkeys, were used as the test specimens. And in addition to being both inhumane and unnecessary, this experiment had the additional distinction of being unconstitutional. Our government discovered that they could seize Americans’ unalienable Rights in the name of public health and under threat of death.
