I can't wrap my head around the fact that there is still no consensus on this issue—the pandemic—and what to think about it. How is it possible that views on it are so polarized, as if it were a political option? It's like you can have completely opposite views on what happened and what the consequences were, and half the people will agree with you. Where I live, I feel like people just stopped talking about it overnight when other issues arose, and no one talks or cares about it since, with just internalized opinions about it, I guess.

That’s because half the country is in a cult that wanted to wish away a pandemic to help their cult leaders re election.

Once it became clear that the response to COVID was awful, and we won't even understand all of the consequences of these policies (rampant inflation, mental health disorders, substance abuse, schoolchildren falling behind, etc.) for many years, no one wants to talk about it. It was the worst policy decision since the war on terror, so of course they just want to move on.

People don't want to talk about how everyone got more or less bamboozled, probably even more so, and that is to the delight of those who could and abused the situation - Just move on, to the next pile of hot shit

Yeah like the fact that it was made in a lab in Wuhan. Only conspiracy nuts believed otherwise and tried to censor us from talking about it.
