This won’t surprise any of us but is a decent quick read on the Covid hysteria as it translated into ‘academic’ journal articles. A very pertinent extract, especially in the current context, is:
lacking voices with a range of views really gets you in trouble when progressives stupidly latched on the most insane COVID19 policies— masking toddlers, closing schools, and thinking that if we all wore n95s for 3 weeks covid would vanish. Progressives did this not because they wanted to help poor people— these policies hurt the poor— but because Donald Trump wanted the opposite, and most progressives lack the ability to independently think about issues, instead reflexively opposing their enemy.
Even relatively recently, possibly during the “debate” but I forget now, Bribem was croaking on about Trump’s instruction to drink bleach. As if it actually happened.
