Some people are using a global pandemic to push for ecofascism, others are doing everything in their power to help those in need.
Town Hall (4/22/20) column: "A mind-numbing 22 million people and counting have applied for unemployment benefits since cities and states across the country started initiating lockdowns to curb the spread of the coronavirus, reports the Labor Department. To radical environmentalists, however, this is great news. Oxford professor Peter Frankopan, in an opinion piece titled, 'Pandemics are terrifying but they can make the world better,' brazenly shames our manufacturing industry and the millions employed in good-paying jobs, saying '… [the] world’s lungs are already breathing more easily thanks to the collapse of industrial production.'...Far from causing the pandemic, industry leaders worldwide have mobilized to help 'flatten the curve' and stop the novel coronavirus in its tracks. Harvard, for example, opened up use of its 3D printers to local hospitals so staff can create much-needed personal protective gear. And—yes—3D printers use plastics derived from fossil fuels...The contrast between industry stepping up to help across-the-board in a time of crisis, and activists' attempt to exploit the crisis couldn't be more illuminating."

"When the call for resources came at the onset of this pandemic, energy companies resoundingly answered it. More than innovators, more than job creators, they are key allies for our doctors and nurses, producing vital inputs for critical tools in the fight against coronavirus, from gloves to surgical masks and hand sanitizer."
