Gee thanks a lot Fauci. I, along with many other sane human beings, have said this for 4 mother fricking years but yall just told us to shut up, comply, and trust the science. Knowing we were completely right, NOW he goes and says this. What a guy.

The slimiest of all the mother fricking cock suckers he is.

It would be fun to list out which leaders took the most draconian measures during Covid and match them with party affiliation.

Would love to see the Moderates on the OT defend that.

They would call Trump the "authoritarian" while he was the one that went the libertarian route with federalism.

Likely the case. Why Trump, Pence and Kushner didnt remove Fauci at any moment, had they simply wanted to, is a mystery to all.

There is a very small vocal group of people on Twitter/X that are passionate about bringing back masks mandate.

These people are freaking out and thinking that every running nose, coughing, congestion is undiagnosed COVID, and that every COVID infection can lead to debilitating 'long COVID' that damages arteries, brain cells, causing AIDS, and reduced sperm count.

While their posting is amusing... You can see how social media algorithms are driving these people to others with similar paranoia and fueling their irrational delusions.

Which makes it fun to mess with them... Either by agreeing and further echoing their delusions or doing the opposite...

THIS. I quickly learned who was and wasn't willing to question "authority" and it changed my close friends circle. If you aren't able to say "I don't think this is right..." then I don't need to be around you.

A close friend of mine is a M.D. and a Senior Medical Officer at DHS. I called him a week into the whole lockdown. He said: "It is insane what is happening up here (DC). Get ready." He knew early on that the Lockdown, the Social Distancing and the Masks were overreach and said so. He got soundly thumped by his colleagues and it impacted his career.

Remember Covid was rampant between the entrance of a restaurant until you sat at your table.

Once seated you were completely safe.

That Covid thread on this board really was something. Wild that many of the true believers have never walked back anything. Double masking dip shits.

My personal favorite was bars that served food could open and those that didn’t could not. So bars starting selling popcorn or other shite to be able to get a restaurant license. What a clown show

Double masks, eye shield and gloves were adorned by the highest minds of the O-T.

Democrats deny it all. Deny wanting mask mandates, business shutdowns, Covid relief stimulus, denied being for BLM protests during Covid, wanting vaccination mandates, I mean all of it Even democrats I personally know deny it when their comments are still on their social media from 2-3 years ago saying otherwise

It is baffling why Fauci is not in prison.
