    Funny how “we couldn’t have wiped it out” when we eradicated an entire strain of flu during the half-assed lockdowns we did do.

    We could have done better than we did, and fuckers screaming, “If we ignore it it will become endemic so stop fighting disease” are a huge reason why.

      Epidemiological experts said it would become endemic eventually no matter what we did while simultaneously saying that we should have rigorous control measures in place. Those two statements are not contradictory

                The fact is we could have stopped this with enough political will, we chose not to.
