#1 I always wondered when the Dims would use the "But it's a Trumpian vaccine" meme.

#2 Yeah, it's all Trump's fault. If he had nuked China when he had the chance, we would not be having this conversation now.

#3 He let himself be used by the deep state. I won't forget.

#4 It was a state by state decision, but it is Trump's fault for not forcing New York/Michigan/California etc. to open.

Kansas had Easter, seeds for sale, and the only mask mandates were from schools and businesses. Sorry your children got the gulag while your politicians ate fine dining.

#5 I always wondered when the Dims would use the "But it's a Trumpian vaccine" meme.

If there ends up being unhidable side effects, or politically expedient ones. This is just a political hit skirmish fire from 'a trusted paper' to prep the field.

#6 Jeb Bush, Lincoln Project, Paul Ryan, Liz Cheney, NationalReview, RedState, and AllahPundit all agree.

#7 Put down that RedState crack pipe! Climb down out of that CON-servative treehouse!

Heh...

#8 Allahpundit? Allahpundit?

He was such a lockdown groupie and covid whore that when his articles were cited here we could play Is It Allahpundit? with near 100% success.

#9 @#4 - "It was a state by state decision, but it is Trump's fault for not forcing New York/Michigan/California etc. to open."

How could Trump "force" those states to open if it was a state decision?

@#3 - I'm still not over Trump's selection of John Bolton.

#10 A more important question: Why didn't Brandon, who undid nearly everything Trump, undo the covid mess?

Mr. President? Ms. Karine Jean-Pierre? Senator Schumer? Speaker Pelosi? Bueler?

#11 Yes, #9, that right there was bad. Trump can't even control what comes out of his mouth. I don't buy the proposition that "this time things will be different" when it comes to his personnel decisions.

#12 Brandon just continued what Trump started, more or less.

Really, "fifteen days to stop the spread" says it all.

What's even more absurd was the gang from the looney left saying they weren't taking "Trump's" vaccine or that Trump wanted to "kill all of us" by taking the vaccine, and those same arse wipes later were all for the poisonous sludge they call a vaccine.

#13 I'm not sure the Fed could force open or closed any state without some really severe interference.

A specific even or location, say, Sturgis, would be a much easier task. I do seem to remember a lot of media, especially Allahpundit, braying it should be shut down.

There was even a story spread around about some local Sturgis transplant all a clutch about the motorcycle rally anyways But Now That Covid! Was some local transplant, city council member or something, had just moved there recently. Media calls for states to stop the motorcycles from making the trip, everything opposite of what this article claims.

#14 Ah, sorry, probably look better with a question mark at the end, rather than stating the premise of this article.

And Fauci, he had 5 major position changes and a number of minors by the end of "4th week to flatten'. People wanting to open then were smeared at flat earthers. Science deniers. Sub-human death dealing dog creatures to be mocked, hounded, cowed, and even arrested dare they go paddle boarding.

The very fact that New York didn't live like Kansas, and Kansas didn't live like New York, debunks this article as a hit piece.

#15 And what did get shut down, international travel, especially origins reporting large Covid case outbreaks, was hounded at. Remember Go Hug a Stranger who Looks Chinese Week?

The major media outlets were the ones who gave Fauci the Great Unfettered Stage, which then justified states' lockdowns, and peoples' hatred of states which were open.

Looks like 1/3 followed or supported Fauci's Protocols, 1/3 went along with it, and 1/3 gave the finger. Those are traditional splits.

#16 ...and even arrested dare they go paddle boarding.

That happened to one of my buddies who lived in San Diego; fortunately they only hassled him and his buddy who was with him. He said 'that's the last straw' and moved to AZ a few months later.
