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.
