This is confirmation of what was pretty obvious for weeks now. Fauci, the CDC, and the Biden admin all are intentionally trying to get as many people infected w Omicron as possible while pretending that’s not what’s going on.
They lied and said cases were going up but not hospitalizations, then that hospitalizations were going up but it was people w Covid not from Covid, then that those in hospitals were less sick, all while refusing to take steps to “flatten the curve” or slow the spread
They’ve pretended long Covid doesn’t exist, and because the CDC director is incompetent she let it slip early when she said it was “good news” that a large portion of those hospitalized were people w multiple comorbidities which is a fancy way of saying the elderly/old/disabled
Absolute clown stuff from Chait, who has ties to charter schools btw, as aside from the fact the Biden admin has wrongly refused to close schools, the data shows the exact opposite of what he claims
Also any article that still claims, “Children face little risk of adverse health effects from contracting COVID” should probably be reported for misinfo
Also probably a tell that the author is a hack when he describes what went down in Chicago as, “ The Chicago Teachers Union, one of the more radical unions, did stage a strike, but it was met with firm opposition from Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot and ended quickly."
They anticipated the need so much that they refused to waive IP protections so that more vaccines could be made worldwide and in doing so helped create the situation where Omicron was created. Total gaslighting by @chrislhayes here. One of the worst segments he’s done in a while
Literally the argument against boosters was in part that new variants would be created if we said screw everyone but the US and thus getting them vaccinated should be prioritized and Hayes even did segments covering this yet now he’s lying to the point where I guarantee you
The higher ups stepped in and told him that this is the line people at MSNBC were to take about this or else. Can’t be actually blaming the incoming disaster on the Biden admin botching the hell out of things.
Every other quote tweet of the above tweet is right wing morons who think this is the worst thing that’s ever happened and certainly the worst video of cops they’ve ever seen. Just complete morons and babies
My personal favorite was the guy who said that that if this is what the cops are going to do then “Hell ya defund the police”
A mantra of mine, aside from unwritten rules are for suckers, is that half measures never work and are never a good answer.
at it’s best, most favorable interpretation, the Biden admin’s currents stance on Covid is a half measure not only in what to do to fight Covid but
It’s also a half measure about how to treat the willfully and without a damn good medical excuse unvaccinated.
even they’re statement which reads like the unvaxxed can prepare to die is insincere regardless of whether you would support that or not because it’s not like steps
Are truly being taken to separate the vaccinated from the unvaccinated. As a result any idea that unvaxxed don’t directly impact vaxxed is absurd as last I checked they still go to the same hospitals when sick and in many instances the same jobs, schools, and store
Joe Biden ran on Republicans having an epiphany and being able to work W them and he can’t even get the supposed Dems to go along w him. Anyone who pretended to take his “epiphany” argument at face value should be laughed out of the room and not given space on tv to spin more BS
Only a complete moron who woke up out of being in a coma for the previous 10 years could have possibly believed Republicans would work w Biden as he claimed. Yet media acted as if this was a real possibility because they are largely made up of hacks who just wanted Bernie lose
