For the first time in human history, experts have decided to quarantine the healthy. It’s all for our own good, we’re told, and for the greater good. But what if we’re missing the Typhoid Mary (or Alexandria or Anderson) of American illness? What if it’s actually liberals who are spreaders?

Let’s look at the data, shall we?

cnn itself swerved into the truth two years ago when it admitted the media, the crown jewel of the left, is a vector: “Too Much Bad News Can Make You Sick.” The aptly named Susanne Babbel, a psychotherapist “specializing in trauma recovery,” explained what happens physically when relentlessly negative news media stresses people out: “Our physiology is triggered to release stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline … Over time, when we experience this process again and again, our adrenal glands can become fatigued … lead[ing] to being tired in the morning, lack of restful sleep, anxiety and depression, as well as a multitude of other symptoms.” Symptoms, according to Ms. Babbel, such as “headaches, muscle tension or pain, stomach problems, anxiety, and sleep issues.” For which there is no vaccine.

Last year, Psychology Today studied the question, “Are Conservatives Healthier Than Liberals?” Turns out, research indicates that “greater personal responsibility may give conservatives a health advantage.” And using logic and data and science, that means lesser personal responsibility puts libs at a health disadvantage. Because conservatives “regard themselves, rather than forces outside themselves, as being in charge of what they do,” they engage in less risky behavior and make healthier decisions; the opposite is true for liberals. Yes, liberals are dangerous. Society clearly needs protection from them.

The American Journal of Political Science concluded that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are “linked to psychoticism.” And according to Psychological Reports, “State Resident Neuroticism Accounts for Life Satisfaction Differences Between Conservative and Liberal States of the USA.” The science proves it: people in liberal states are far more neurotic and unhappy than people in conservative states.” This higher neuroticism, says study author Stewart J. H. McCann, “is characterized by higher levels of … depression, tenseness, moodiness, angry hostility, impulsiveness, nervousness, anxiety, worry, emotional instability, and poor stress management.”

These people are a menace, folks. All the academic models project that this virulent penetrance into the population cannot be contained without strict mitigation.

Look, I’m just following the facts and the data. The public health conclusion is inarguable. Keep America healthy: quarantine the left. It’s science.
