I've heard more vitriol directed @ VP for telling people they can Google testing sites than Ron DeSantis got for letting 1 MILLION covid tests expire during the Omicron surge & refusing to open state sites. Homegirl ⬇️ said nothing about that but called VP wicked. A few things 🧵

The admin has already conceded more needed to be done on testing AND they have done exactly that. Also even before Omicron, they already invested $1 billion in at-home testing capacity. States also have a responsibility for scaling up testing.

Testing wait times are longer not because VP wickedly refuses to wave her magic pinky, it's because we are dealing with astronomical surge of cases. The daily avg is 800K new cases with a positivity rate>30%. Labs don't have the capacity to turn results around quicker (see ⬇️)

Now to the point of her saying Google testing locations (which Biden has also been saying to much less fanfare)...I did an experiment. I looked at her most quote tweeted specific site mention 106 vs. Google 1,423. Unless it's something to be hateful & btich about y'all DGAF.

The last point about internet access, that is something VP Harris has always championed that y'all love to ignore. She was literally put in charge of & successfully got $100 billion in broadband investment. The notion that she is oblivious to internet access issues is absurd.

Please admit y'all just want to always find a reason to drag VP cuz the math ain't mathin with the it's bad to tell people they can use Google from people who frequently tell people to use Google. 🤔🤔🤔

And to be clear this isn't a *there's nothing they could do better* thread but using her response about testing as a pretext to paint VP as evil is fcuking deranged behavior. And y'all neeeeever have the same smoke for the electeds actually trying to harm people.
