of at least a half-million Americans is to argue — nonsensically — that the virus came out of the Wuhan virology lab and therefore something, something, something Trump is not responsible. He’s doing this with House Oversight Committee hearings this week.
But at the very beginning, there was one moment where they said we didn’t need masks, so all of your points are refuted! /s
I know you’re being sarcastic but I still want to punch you. So fucking sick of that shit.
In general, we were lucky that the epidemic wasn’t something worse. Imagine the governmental failure during an Ebola pandemic.
Something worse is coming, and based on what happened this time, I’m terrified.
it happens at least once every hundred years, doesn’t mean it won’t happen sooner but it will happen again
Thanks Obama for making us not have to deal with that.
And for having a pandemic response team/office, which Trump dismantled…6 months before COVID hit.
Will we ever be far enough removed from the pandemic that we can talk about how the federal government lied and ignored 100+ years worth of science on the efficacy of masking (including effective mask mandates during the “Spanish”/Kansas flu pandemic), without being accused of being an antivax conspiracy theorist?
I’m vaxed, waxed and ready to party, but it is a stone cold fact that they told people not to wear masks - and caused untold numbers of deaths - because they didn’t want the general public to reduce the current supply.
(Fauci also did an absolutely horrendous, I mean historically awful job dealing with the AIDS crisis, but I guess that’s for another time.)
