Waiting for Elon to drop another rap…

I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is. The *only period* when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.

"We further estimate that the removal of mandates during this time contributed to 21800 COVID deaths through the rest of 2022, 9% of the U.S. total that year." A reminder that these outcomes are a matter of choice.

Trump 1.0: “It can’t happen here.” Trump 2.0: “It’s happening here, but it’s someone else’s job to stop it. Also, it’s the fault of China and the Left that we aren’t stopping it. Also, maybe we can get white nationalists to help us stop all this white nationalism?”

The Trump administration is canceling a nearly $600-million contract to the drugmaker Moderna that was intended to develop a shot for humans against bird flu.

What’s great about having sounded the alarm four years ago about the Biden admin not “following the science” about COVID because it was too busy surrendering to anti-vaxxers is that now everyone else is sounding the same alarm but it’s too late to do anything about it. (It’s not actually great.)
