| Do you actually remember this in real time? Do you remember at the beginning when everyone was wondering what to do and they said wear a mask and then they said not wear a mask and everyone around you was like, "What?? What is going on??" And then a short while later they said wear a mask again. These things have real world ramifications. You can't just point to a snopes a year later and retain the context within which this trust destroying episode went down. People have memories. They felt the frustration. They felt the betrayal. And they have yet to recover from that. To dismiss that very real feeling of betrayal as "well, this is what snopes says" is rewriting history. And, all of that comes on the heels of big tobacco, DDT, thalidomide, BPA, climate change, and then the new climate change, big pharma with their oxycontin and big medicine fleecing Americans and they won't even discuss medicare for all and we have to protect corporate profits over saving humanity?? Seriously?? And you dismiss all that with "science is a process." Except the process has been completely dismissed as well. Science created the process that takes years to approve a new vaccine, all of that has been completely dismissed exactly when a brand new technology for creating vaccines has been created. No part of this is science. This is politics. Period. 8 Months ago Kamala Harris herself said she would NOT get Trump's Vaccine. And so now it's somehow a different vaccine that we should all get? Now folks who don't want to get Biden's vaccine are science deniers? This. is. not. science. This is politics and a lot of people are refusing to get the vaccine purely because it's politics and NOT science. Did you watch Fauci get destroyed up there this week? He's a liar. Period. |
Politics decide when a country/state gets to remove restrictions, this is where the heated arguments begin.
