    There’s a new push from the right with the whole trial with Fauci that everything he said was a lie and that the vaccine didn’t actually work, social distancing didn’t actually work, and masks didn’t actually work because some dipshit American politician made something up and the right ran with it.

    So now the right has their weekly walking papers of “We were right all along!” because why have facts and evidence and you can have Rand Paul of all people invent a false narrative and the sheep follow right along with it.

    Let’s ignore all the other countries who leaned into the vaccine and social distancing that didn’t lose a fraction of their population compared to America to Covid. Let’s also completely ignore the fact that Trump of all people was at the forefront of Operation Warp Speed to accelerate funding and research for mRNA vaccines.

    But no one has ever accused Americans of being smart.

      Wait, Fauci’s on trial? What the actual fuck is wrong with this country, when we’re prosecuting doctors for simply wanting people to be healthy and safe? Even if the masks didn’t work, exactly what harm is there in wearing one anyway?
