This is what I mean when I say that present-day covid denialism is right wing. It was a plan born of corporatists and wholly adopted by centrists and even leftists eager to pretend the pandemic was over, which should immediately give anyone thinking about it pause.
Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

I wasn’t going to say anything else beyond my original reply about the event last night but conflating this with what’s happening in Palestine is so out of pocket. Unbelievable.

The person was an employee at the venue. I’m sorry they said that to you. Ultimately, it’s only respirator-mandatory for attendees as it’s a public space - and all attendees were in respirators the entire time. Going forward, I will be clear that folks may encounter unmasked ppl/surgicals inside.

It is consistently wild to see this rash of pieces on Covid that are all about its origin and its politics, by people continuing to steadfastly ignore that it’s still here, it’s still killing people, there’s a rising mass of disabled people from it, and that all of that is preventable.
