“She was like,” ha, ha, ha

The new director of the CDC reveals that Covid policies were built in social space, like mean girls wielding power in high school. There’s no science here.#FollowTheGossip! Errr, I mean #FollowTheScience! https://t.co/HGxT9sZ5Ee

While, I’d like to just move on from the pandemic, all of the drastically bad decisions shouldn’t just be ignored. Many Americans lost their jobs, their businesses and suffered extreme pain and suffering due to unscientific and untested social mitigation policies. Many Americans in hospitals and nursing homes died without their families by their side or were not allowed to have funerals in some cases or had strict restrictions on funeral services. In the end, none of these policies worked.

I don’t believe that trying to criminally prosecute individual people, like there’s a cry on the right about Dr. Fauci, especially from Trump-supporters, will ever happen. The truth is Dr. Fauci was given all that power by President Trump and the buck really does stop there. However, from everything I’ve seen with Trump supporters over the years, they absolve Trump of all blame for anything and make up excuses for his bad decisions. So, if Trump ends up being the 2024 GOP nominee and were to be elected again, I doubt he’d want to be in the position of pushing for accountability for the COVID policies that he authorized during his first term. Just last week Trump was praising Andrew Cuomo for doing a better job on COVID than Ron DeSantis in Florida. Trump later came out with some garbled walk-back that he was only talking about numbers of deaths. This little volley of comments looks to me like a good indicator, Trump would likely try to brush aside any rehashing of pandemic failures. Trump gave Fauci a commendation medal on his last day in office.

Biden ran in 2020 on being the COVID Preacher (Enforcer), so he certainly wouldn’t want to hold anyone accountable or even admit they made mistakes.

DeSantis is promising to stand up against the left’s culture war, but it’s too early to tell if he can defeat Trump in the primary.

What happened during COVID with the Dems “Trust the Science” effort was really the political left working to use the pandemic to gain more control and power over people.

I still get angry when I think about all the unnecessary suffering these “experts” caused during the pandemic and while this Mean Girl doctor, who might be the next CDC director, brought all those feelings to bear, mostly what I think about is how I trusted Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx and these other “experts” in the very beginning. I quickly began to question things, like many other Americans. Then with the vaccines, I trusted they wouldn’t approve vaccines that weren’t safe, but evidence has been rolling in for the past year of problems with the vaccines, so that will be a whole other chapter in this epic pandemic fail.

Mostly, I think about how stupid I was to ever trust government overreach was for the public good or trust a media effort that tirelessly worked to stoke terror and pressure us to just give up our rights and con us that was required to not kill grandma or care about other people. Just do what we tell you, or you’ll be ostracized and labeled a threat to society (like evildoers, “The Unvaccinated”) I hope I won’t be fooled the next time there’s a massive power grab underway, no matter what the crisis is.
