Throughout the pandemic, Americans have reacted on Twitter, Facebook, reddit (catch me regularly at r/lockdownskepticism) to Dr. Fauci’s hearings. Last month, he and Jim Jordan exchanged words. This is how I responded on the r/LockdownSkepticism thread. The video was linked from CNN:
There’s some irony in the fact that, by these people making “taking Covid seriously” their identity, they’ve turned into what they’ve accused trumpers of being for the past year. For the past year we’ve heard that Trump voters are anti-science and are just prolonging the pandemic, not following the science, etc. well...now Biden’s camp is ignoring the science (wearing masks inside once fully vaccinated, acting like outdoor camps are dangerous, etc) and sticking to their Covid values even though vaccines have changed the situation. So basically, they’ve become what they’ve spent the last year hating.
