And yet the majority of liberals & leftists believe what RFK says about Covid and are completely aligned with his Covid denialism. This is how insane you sound when u start talking about how Covid is “mild now” (it’s not mild and we are still in an active pandemic w fewer treatments than in 2022)
Could you imagine if the head of the United States healthcare system didn’t believe that HIV caused AIDS?
…And that instead they believed that AIDS is caused by recreational drugs (“poppers”) used by gay people?
Oh wait…🥴

So once again I will remind you all that the show ya’ll are all talking about (The Pitt) had all levels of writers in the room including lower and mid levels.
If we want more good TV, everyone at the top needs to fight for proper writers rooms… because the results speak for themselves!
