You're being dishonest, James. Health officials specifically talking about BLM protests was a big story and involved hundreds of professionals in the field.
I got a stomach bug once that drove my fever so high it fucked up my kidneys and I spent a week in the hospital. I'm sorry you felt like shit, but what you're describing is a mild illness.
We're not talking about how bad it makes you feel. We're talking about "mild" in the sense that there are many things that we don't need to continue doing because of it.
J.K. Rowling definitely did location scouting for a movie she didn't work on and singlehandedly chose the Australian High Commission building this was filmed in, which has 8 pointed stars that are definitely not Stars of David. Other than that, good Judaisming, bub.
Wen introduced the term "high quality mask" into her lexicon a week ago on December 20 and has been using it frequently since then. That is also the first time she mentions cloth masks as insufficient. Nothing prior to that.
For once I'd like to see a cancelled leftist decry a pox on their house and their own previous actions instead of bemoaning the fact that they weren't given the benefit of the doubt for their problematic statement because nominally their politics are "correct."
There's no equity in the bank of social justice. You're only as good as your most recent public statement and people in that world accede to outrage authorities instead of deciding for themselves how bad the thing was.
Not to mention an under-discussed aspect of cancel culture: People air personal and professional grievances and jealousy against people under the guise of a social justice pile-on. All your old enemies come out of the woodwork to finally get back at you for their petty reasons.
