Ezekiel Emanuel, a k a Dr. Death, is a bit of a crank — but he’s also frighteningly influential.

The older brother of President Obama’s chief of staff Rahm, Emanuel helped craft the ObamaCare law and has long been an adviser on medical issues for Joe Biden. And the de facto Democratic nominee just tapped him for his new Public Health Advisory Committee.

He needs to rethink that. Emanuel has been pushing pure hysteria on cable-news shows, warning last month that 100 million Americans will likely be infected with the coronavirus by late April. Hmm: Confirmed cases going into mid-April are just half a million.

His panic-mongering seems to have an ulterior motive: “COVID-19 is a great argument for universal health care coverage,” he’s said. Emanuel also serves as a special adviser to World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus — the guy who said Americans will see more “body bags” because President Trump called out China for lying about its COVID-19 numbers. 

And, with record numbers of Americans filing for unemployment and more to follow, Emanuel insists we need to keep the country on lockdown for a full year and a half. 

“Realistically, COVID-19 will be here for the next 18 months or more. We will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications,” he said, noting (rightly) that a vaccine won’t likely come to market before next year.

“I know that’s dreadful news to hear,” he continued, but: “The truth is we have no choice.”

In fact, what the nation needs is to find (or create) better choices. Life in South Korea is returning to normal after widespread testing helped flatten the curve, and America can find a way to do the same.

Biden needs to cut ties with the rationing-obsessed doctor, lest he seems as callous. Most notably, Emanuel is no fan of “wasting” resources on the elderly. In his Atlantic piece “Why I Hope to Die at 75,” he allowed as how “death is a loss” but insisted “living too long is also a loss.” People won’t remember you as “vibrant” as you once were, for example.

Take note, Joe: You’re 77, after all.
