    Why do you not believe the experts who said we should do everything we could to control Covid and that even if we did everything we could to control Covid, it would eventually become an endemic infection. What part of that is difficult to understand?

    I am not an antivaxxer. I completely supported quarantines. Facts about how pandemics work are still facts.

      What part of “You are using antivaxer talking points” do you not get?

      You are repeating word for word the exact justification that was given for ignoring covid.

      even if (as you claim) you are not on their side you should not repeat their talking points.

      We could have not been where we are now. People saying the words you are saying now is why we are were we are and frankly all of you can fuck off.

      It is possible to control disease.
      …if you want to at any rate and “It’s endemic!” is the rallying cry of people who don’t want to.

        Antivaxxers choosing to use facts disingenuously to push their agenda doesn’t change those facts.

        Endemic is a factual statement, an epidemiological definition. It doesn’t dictate policy anymore than any other scientific definition does. It is indifferent to politics.

        Covid is endemic. We should continue to mask and vaccinate when there is an increase in Covid cases.
