ON MY MIND: THEY BLINDED US FROM SCIENCE

This is an article by the Chief Investment Officer of Frank Templeton Investments. The article blames the liberal media for scaring the public about the risks of COVID. Her article points to the internal Franklin Templeton–Gallup Economics of Recovery Study to judge what she claims is a misguided fear of COVID. She claims the study shows "that Democrats tend to overestimate the risk of dying from COVID-19." She argues, "The fact that a large share of the population overestimates the COVID-19 danger to the young will make a targeted public health response more difficult to agree on. We think it is also likely to delay the recovery, causing a deeper and prolonged recession."
