THE REAL COST OF LOCKDOWNS
I independently published the correct call on the Covid-19 Lockdowns on 21Mar2020. one of the earliest and most accurate assessments anywhere.
I identified the Covid-19 scam in Feb2020 - Covid-19 was only fatal to the very elderly and infirm - but I was reluctant to publish until I learned on ~20Mar2020 that all our hospitals were EMPTY! That’s when I called the Covid scam and published:
21Mar2020
“LET’S CONSIDER AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH:
22Mar2020
As rare as it was, this correct very-early call was not that difficult – most of the early data was junk, but there was credible mortality data from the Diamond Princess cruise ship and a few other good sources.
I cannot believe that the professional epidemiologists were all that incompetent - the full-Gulag lockdown looked more and more like a huge global fraud - a hugely-funded global fear propaganda campaign inconsistent with the facts, like the Global Warming/Green Energy scam – and for the same totalitarian political objectives.
The full lockdown was originally intended to prevent the “tsunami of cases from swamping out medical system” – A TSUNAMI OF CASES that NEVER HAPPENED! Medical people knew this reality by about late-March2020, ~two weeks into the lockdown, but our Alberta hospitals were emptied for over two months!
Since then, the lockdown has been extended through two years, and has squandered trillions of dollars and harmed billions of people, and for what? The lockdown has NOT saved lives – all it has done is prolong the life of the virus by delaying herd immunity - which allowed the virus to survive into the next flu season. It also allowed the virus to mutate to more contagious forms.
Forget vaccines. Every flu virus in human history dies the same way – via herd immunity – and the lockdowns and vaccines only served to delay herd immunity, drive Covid-19 variants (Darwin 1.0) and cause enormous economic and human harm.
Sweden did it mostly right (NO lockdown) and has achieved herd immunity, and most other countries did it entirely wrong.
It was obvious by ~1March2020 that Covid-19 was a relatively mild flu, considerably milder than the 2017-2018 seasonal flu and others, and essentially only dangerous to the very elderly and very infirm. The workforce and students were barely affected – many were asymptomatic.
It is really difficult to believe that supposedly intelligent “medical experts” could be this stupid for this long – the full-Gulag lockdown looked more like a deliberate panic-driven scam every passing day.

Conducted business at a senior level on six of the world’s seven continents.
Recommended AGAINST the Covid-19 lockdowns on 21March2020, in a post essentially identical to the Great Barrington Declaration published 6 months later by the world’s top experts.
Highlighted the significant risks of the experimental Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 mRNA injections and the high risk-low reward of these injections to under-65’s and especially to very-low-risk groups including schoolchildren, on 8January2021.
Safeguarded up to 600,000 Calgarians from probable death by intervening to shut down the Mazeppa sour gas project; MacRae was honored by the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
Authored ~12 papers since 2002 that prove catastrophic human-made global warming is a false crisis, and intermittent green energy is not a practical solution.
Co-authored a 2015 paper on Excess Winter Mortality entitled “Cold Weather Kills 20 Times As Many People As Hot Weather”.
Advocated since 2002 against the fraudulent claims of leftist extremists that have cost Alberta and Canada over $200 billion in lost oil revenues.
Wrote the competent Energy Policy for the Wild Rose Party, rejecting the destructive Stelmach Royalty changes.
Advocated against the costly and incompetent changes to the Alberta electricity system that have increased power costs ~tenfold.
Initiated the New Oilsands Royalty Terms and the New Oilsands Tax Terms implemented by the Klein PC’s and the Feds and also the reduction of Syncrude Canada Ltd. production costs from $18 to $12 per barrel.
Incorporated these initiatives into a comprehensive strategy for Syncrude Canada Ltd, which was implemented and was instrumental in the successful growth of Syncrude and the Alberta oil sands industry.
Result: $250 billion (equivalent to $500+ billion today) capital investment in Alberta and 500,000 new jobs created in Canada. Canada became the 4th largest oil producer in the world, the largest foreign supplier of energy to the USA and the strongest economy of the G8 countries. ~80% of that oil production is from Alberta.
