    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 prevented the situation we are in now.
            We collectively chose to actively make things worse and the lies you are spreading were the exact ones used to justify that course of active inaction.
