Everything the Left Touches, It Ruins. Now, Add Science

One of the world's most prestigious medical and scientific journals, The Lancet in the U.K., withdrew an article it had published that dismissed the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID-19 patients. Kitt_KS/Pixabay

Commentary

More than two years ago, I wrote a column titled “Whatever the Left Touches, It Ruins.” I listed eight examples:

• The universities.
• The arts: music, art, and architecture.
• Sports.
• Mainstream Judaism, Protestantism, and Catholicism.
• Race relations.
• Women’s happiness.
• Children’s innocence.
• And, perhaps most disturbingly, America’s commitment to free speech.

One should now add the sciences.
