In a spectacular feat of reality-denying partisanship, the political left has convinced itself that they’ve somehow admitted wrongdoing on their extremist Covid policies. Nothing, absolutely nothing, could be further from the truth.
As a reminder, the left, thanks in large part to Anthony Fauci, shut down businesses, schools, playgrounds, sports, and live events. They used curfews, capacity limits, mask mandates, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, created “tier-system” reopening charts based on nothing, dismissed the lab-leak hypothesis as a racist conspiracy theory, and labeled anyone who disagreed with them.
None of the politicians involved in this inexcusable, world-destroying, anti-science policy-making has apologized for any of it. Not one has admitted they were wrong. Fauci, a far-left politician himself, has not only never apologized or admitted wrongdoing, but had the audacity to say that criticisms of him and his policy positions were inexcusable criticisms of science itself….
Again, this is from August 2020. We knew then, as we know now, that government mandates and lockdowns were useless against the virus, and devastatingly harmful for society and the economy. Chait and his party refused to listen then, and refuse to listen now.
What consequences has Anthony Fauci faced? Or Gavin Newsom? Or Rochelle Walensky, who lied to the public about vaccine efficacy, repeatedly, on left-wing media?
Instead, they find it more mentally tolerable to lie, deflect, misinform, and revise history. Acknowledging the role they played in a historic disaster is too difficult for them to accept. But no matter what they say now, that’s exactly what they caused. With zero accountability for any of it.
What’s to question? It was the state lying to take more power and control to itself, based upon party affiliation. The progressive/lefty/collectivist/Marxist/socialist/communist/murderers saw an opportunity to do what they do best and did it. One might say that it wasn’t the progressive/lefty/collectivist/Marxist/socialist/communist/murderers, but the motherWEFers that were the guiding hand behind it all, however, they seem to be no more than another branch of the progressive/lefty/collectivist/Marxist/socialist/communist/murderer party. As always, your discernment and alertness will serve you the best and perhaps it did and you remained unvaxxed.
The bloodbath in academia can partially be blamed on COVID.
The recklessness of their policies really cast a big shadow on the entire "expert class".
It didn't have to be this way. There were plenty of experts on the other side. We could have had a debate between guys like Fauci and guys like Jay Battacharaya.
But all we got was censorship and accusations of being anti-science if you didn't toe the line

I think, rather than a bloodbath in academia, there has been a bloodbath in the reputation of experts, which is well deserved. The problem was that people never asked who was paying whom for what. I guess the old “follow the money” trope may be very true in every case to discern who to trust and who not to trust when they give advice. I will never trust anyone that says that we should be censoring anybody for saying anything at all. We can all use our own judgment and discernment to find the truth. BS meters work very well, too.
