The Covid pandemic has become a breeding ground for ideas about fake liberty
By Philip Machanick on 3 May 2021
It can be hard to make sense of what is going on in the world today. Authoritarian populists have stood convention on its head. Populist far-right leaders like former US president Donald Trump, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Brazilian Prime Minister Jair Bolsonaro, who embrace misogyny, xenophobia and authoritarianism, hide behind a camouflage of libertarianism and individual liberty. Yet what they stand for is a world order in which the weak are permanently victimised and the out-group is permanently exiled.
Out of this cesspit, old ideas of liberty rise like bubbles in festering sewerage and lose all their original fragrance.

India, which is classified as a lower-middle-income country by the World Bank, has successfully administered around 104 million vaccine doses as of the day.
Five per cent of the world population has been fully vaccinated against the Covid-19. But as per a recent report, most of the vaccines are going to the wealthiest nations.
An analysis of data collected by the Bloomberg Vaccine Tracker has revealed that as of now, countries making up the least-wealthy 11 per cent have gotten around 1.6 per cent of the vaccines administered.
While the United States, United Kingdom and UAE and Israel have been providing as many vaccine doses as possible to their countrymen, the worldâs least wealthy continent, Africa, remains as the least vaccinated region.
