Silence versus Bearing Witness: Response to Alan Stone
by Bandy X. Lee, MD, MDiv Earlier this year, I was delighted to discover that Dr. Alan Stone had written a review of the book I edited: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President, for the blog Lawfare. Most outside of psychiatry will not have heard of Dr. Stone, but he is a well-respected figure among psychiatrists who practice at the intersections of law and ethics, such as myself.  I was delighted not because I was anticipating a positive review, but because I hoped that a rigorous discussion without misrepresentation would break open the myopia of my field.…

Did Mitigation Save Two Million Lives?
Alan ReynoldsIn the April 16 White House briefing, President Trump again said, as he often has before, that “models predicted between 1.5 and 2.2 million deaths” if we had not endured the various economic shutdowns imposed by the Governors of 42 States. The severity and breadth of those statewide shutdowns was initially encouraged, and is now justified, by just one dramatic statistic. That number was the 2.2 million U.S. deaths supposedly at risk from COVID-19.The famed 2.2 million estimate first reached viral status in the March 31 White House briefing by Doctors Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx. They displayed a  grap...

How One Model Simulated 2.2 Million U.S. Deaths from COVID-19
Alan ReynoldsWhen it came to dealing with an unexpected surge in infections and deaths from SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causing COVID-19 symptoms), federal and state policymakers understandably sought guidance from competing epidemiological computer models. On March 16, a 20-page report from Neil Ferguson ' s team at Imperial College London quickly gathered enormous attention by producing enormous death estimates. Dr. Ferguson had previously publicized almost equallysensational death estimates from mad cow disease, bird flu and swine flu.The New York Times quickly ran the hot news about this new COVID-19 estimate:The report, whi...

Why OTHER Respiratory Viruses are More Important than Ever Before
Video Transcript Hi, I’m Dr. Alan Greene and I want to talk with you for a moment about why other respiratory viruses are more important during the time of COVID than ever before — at least in our lifetimes.   00:15 In San Francisco, one of the first areas where COVID was emerging in the United States, even though many people were tested for COVID, with COVID symptoms – fever, cough, shortness of breath, other respiratory symptoms — of the people tested at UCSF more than 90 percent of them turned out to have other respiratory infections — not COVID. 00:42 Think [about] what that means for th...

5 takeaways for returning to school
School districts in the United States are in a period of profound uncertainty, which will likely persist throughout the 2020–2021 school year. Many agree that remote teaching in spring 2020 was piecemeal and sub-optimal. Now, despite a stated universal commitment to full-time, in-person, high-caliber education, many states have rising rates of COVID-19, and teachers and parents share deep health concerns. Already we have witnessed a rapid and seismic transition from the beginning of this summer — in June, many schools planned to open full-time for in-person learning — to near-universal adoption of hybrid or remote te...

Will Congress Repeat the Worst Blunder of the First “Stimulus” Bill?
Alan ReynoldsA bipartisan Congressional group is eager borrow and spend another $900 billion on a new COVID-19 bill. Yet they appear determined to repeat the most wastefulpolitical stunt of the last “stimulus bill.”On December 17,The Wall Street Journal reported that “the package includes another round of direct payments to households,” which was recently added back into the mix after “The Trump administration [via Treasury Secretary Mnuchin] …proposed sending $600 checks. ”Borrowing money to send everyone a little check may sound clever to myopic politicians. But it is morally indefensible because ...

The Fed Doesn ’t Rule the Stock Market
Alan ReynoldsAWall Street Journal editorial ( “Inflation Haunts the Biden Economy”), fears that “one risk is the Fed gets spooked bythe market reaction to its tightening. ” However, the stock market is rarely hyper‐​sensitive to Fed statements or actions for more than a few days.“Stocks Turn Lower AfterFed Announcement” was theJournal ’sJanuary 26 headline, yet the Fed chairman did not actually announce anything much different from what was already expected – namely, phasing‐​out the “Quantitative Easing” routine plus several quarter‐​point increases in the IORB (Interest on Reserve Balance...

Core Commodity Price Inflation Was Zero in March and April
Alan ReynoldsThe Producer Price Index (PPI)is not a  measure of inflation in the cost of living. It estimates pricesbusinesses receive, not prices consumers pay. Importantly, it includes soaringexport prices for U.S. on food and energy, which had already risen 4.5% in the month of March, 3% in February, and 2.8% in January due to sudden global scarcity in the wake of the Russian war and sanctions.The PPI “increased 0.5 percent in April…[partly because] construction increased 4.0 percent, whileprices for final demand services were unchanged. ” “The indexes for final demand trade services and for final demand servic...

The New Deal and Recovery, Part 23: The Great Rapprochement
George SelginWhat finally brought the Great Depression to an end? We ' ve seen that, whatever it was, it took place not during the 30s but sometime between then and the end of World War II, when a remarkable postwar revival occurred instead of the renewed depression many feared. We ' ve also seen that, while postwar fiscal and monetary policies weren ' t austere to the point of preventing that revival, they alone can ' t explain it, because they can ' t explain the reawakening of private business investment from its decade-and-a-half-long slumber.Animal SpiritsTo get to the bottom of that reawakening, we must first recall ...

Fear of a Gold Planet
Proposed nominees Stephen Moore and Herman Cain having dropped out of contention, discussion continues over the Trump administration ’s possible next nomination to the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors. The views of the latest candidate under consideration by the administration, Judy Shelton, have revived a question that commentators raised earlier about Moore and Cain: Should favoring some kind of gold standard disqualify a nominee from occupying one of seven seats on the Board? Here let me disclose that I worked with Judy Shelton on the Atlas Economic Research Foundation’s Sound Money Project. But the argument t...

Eppie
I ' ve considered writing about Jeffrey Epstein for a long time, but I kept expecting more information about the sordid case to be forthcoming from the Southern District of New York. So far however we have seen no additional indictments or any investigative report. This surprises many people because there are strong indications that there is ample basis for additional indictments, despite Epstein ' s death. I ' ll get to that.I don ' t have any information to add to what is publicly known, obviously, but many people don ' t fully understand the story and the mysteries connected with it, so I figured I ' d provide a summary...

Why the Fed Needs a Monetary Rule to Protect Its Independence
As the 2020 presidential election season heats up, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is being pushed from all sides.President Trump has castigated him for overly tight monetary policy and has implied that Powell is a “bigger enemy” than Xi Jinping.  Meanwhile,William Dudley, who recently headed the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the most important reserve bank in the system, boldly called for Powell to enter the political fray against Trump and use a tighter monetary policy to help defeat him in 2020.We ’ve seen this pattern before—only this time, it’s more extreme. President Trump, like many executives ...
