The woke-washing of right-wingers in opposition to public health.
Spare me arguments that someone against public health is going to solve public health issues.
Banning protective gear is non-viable for human survival.
What’s next on their enemy list, tassel knit hats and earmuffs in 15 degree weather? Prohibiting old lady babushkas?
I thought it was pretty obvious these things were connected.
I thought it was obvious why Joe Biden’s pardon of Hunter Biden immediately followed the announcement of Kash Patel being appointed to the FBI.
More people are “high risk” than anyone seems to realize, but this information is in fact available from the CDC.
Just being over 50 is a risk condition
“Behind the scenes” hopium peddling needs to stop.
Savior syndrome, normalcy bias, and apocalyptic hopium, it’s all a bamboozle.
Marty Makary is a covid contrarian, cozy with anti-vaxxers.
There’s good reason he’s welcomed into the seedy MAGA ranks of Trumpy Trumpworld.
Tycoons demonizing remote work in an agenda to deliberately wreck the government & future society.

It makes sense because obviously Republicans and conservatives get Long Covid too – perhaps even moreso because they’ve been less likely to take precautions or even get vaccinated in many cases. Science research, […]
JD Vance laid out the Trump anti-vax plan to Joe Rogan.
There’s a perfectly good program for vaccine adverse events which has a lower bar than the normal courts, and has functioned well for a long time. And even Republicans in Congress have suggested moving covid vaccines to that program. But it seems like MAGA doesn’t want that now that RFK Jr. is on board.
Public comment to CDC HICPAC committee November 2024 by Chloe
Going backward is a choice. We know better now. We use surgical gloves, autoclaves, disinfectants, checklists and yes, respirator masks exist. But big healthcare corporations don’t wanna pay for that, they lock up PPE, force nurses to work without sick leave at hospitals, and make patients beg for reasonable accommodation.
Prohibiting nepotism is so obviously a big part of the solution to corruption.
The people involved always seem to think it’s a great system and are often confused about why anybody else finds it offensive.

The disinfo campaigns around the pandemic are the same disinfo campaigns around climate change.

Trump admin’s grotesque folly set an extremely low bar for looking good on the pandemic.
More Trump will make more of the worst Democrats look not so bad because the comparison is a low set bar.
