When a verified account called “Dr. Naomi Wolf” began liking a few of my COVID-related tweets a while back, I didn’t think a whole lot of it, really. After all, lots of doctors and epidemiologists are on "Team Reality." They just don’t get all the mainstream media coverage (and respect) afforded the Chicken Littles over at Team Apocalypse. Color me ignorant (and I was!), but it wasn’t until after I saw her now-famous appearance last week on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that I learned that Dr. Naomi Wolf is not, in fact, a truth-telling epidemiologist, but rather a truth-telling high-profile Oxford-educated author, speaker, Democratic political advisor, and founder of something called third-wave feminism.
Obviously, none of that means that Wolf can’t have a valid, studied opinion on COVID-19. Quite the contrary, plenty of journalists, activists, data scientists, and "ordinary" people who know how to read graphs and interpret data are also a part of "Team Reality," and thankfully so. However, in the U.S. at least, little opposition to COVID fascism, governments’ often draconian, liberty-crushing, life-destroying response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, has come from the left, much less a high-profile feminist author who has advised the likes of Bill Clinton and Al Gore.
“Nowhere in the Constitution does it say, all this can be suspended if there is a bad disease,” Wolf told Tucker Carlson. “We have lived through typhus, cholera, smallpox, HIV, tuberculosis, polio, the Spanish flu. We've lived through an attack on our soil. Never have there been months and months and months of emergency powers when we weren't actually fighting a war. So this is completely unprecedented. Lockdowns have never been done before in free societies. And really, we are turning into a version of totalitarian states before everyone's eyes. And I really hope, you know, we wake up quickly, because history also shows that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it's too dangerous to fight back.”
