L’information en temps de pandémie
Le temps est venu de tirer les leçons que le confinement nous a laissées. L’une de ses leçons, est la valeur du recueillement, être en silence. Il y a des choses à dire et d’autres sur lesquelles il faut se taire.

Whether we like it or not, the global Internet prospers from the reductio ad bestiam of the human sphere. The new science of captology was formed at the dawn of the 21st century. This science operates via three successive, clinical acts: first it hypnotises; then it conditions; and finally it manipulates the mental slaves it has created.
The virus is the extreme manifestation of a disorder, but it had been previously announced and denounced, as an unequivocal reality. We have the obligation to offer a certain light, which we possess at all times, however dim and limited it may be, starting with what each of us is receiving as life lessons in the face of the outbreak of the pandemic.
In recent days there has been much social debate over the morality of using vaccines against Covid-19, in which cell lines obtained from human foetuses from induced abortions have been used in their manufacture.
The problems in containing the pandemic in Asia, Europe and North America, raise doubts as to the appropriateness of the measures taken, many of them drawn from improvisation or, directly, from ignorance or error.
Don’t human facts inevita-bly, and therefore always, have a moral dimension ? Talking about “biological” has now become a way of discrediting what we are talking about by cutting it off from this moral dimen-sion so essential to humans. In addition, there was noth-ing purely biological about the crisis, since contagion implies relationships be-tween people, and conse-quently a society.
Governments have practiced a form of intellectual terrorism that is illustrated by the astonishing force of the precautionary principle, so instrumental in this health crisis. Contrary to appearances, the precautionary principle is not the same as prudence; it is even a genuine forgery.
Health has become the main lever for legitimising the actions of the State. The epidemic has shown that biological health has become the cardinal value of our disenchanted societies. Death has proved to be the mistress of liberty through the medium of fear.
Another effect of the current crisis is that the physical virus prevents us from seeing the moral virus even more, the effects of which we have been suffering for decades, perhaps centuries.
When a ruptured Front is able to emerge, to become a government, to bury our democratic transition and above all to replace one social order with another, nothing happens by chance or by improvisation, certainly not by apparent clumsiness.
