Two things can be true at the same time. But you won't hear WDMSO or Pete ever admit the lockdowns were an over-reaction (even though Trump oversaw them), because they think that's being critical of the left, and we can't have that. Not ever.

It's completely, absolutely, 100% fair and true to say that Republicans are keeping vaccination rates down.

The lockdowns are hurting children who didn't get a say in the matter. Let's refuse to discuss it, because you assume it's not politically beneficial to do so.
I think lockdowns did good and prob. saved lives. It is time to let us get back to somewhat normal. We were prob. lucky w/Omicron in that it was milder than delta. I'll still wear a mask at times and other times no.

here's a question....if you say the lockdowns did good and probably saved lives...they probably extended some of the lives of people over 75 with 4 or more co-morbidities, as they constituted most of the deaths..and then there were those under 75 most with serious health issues...

how many previously physically and mentally healthy people have had their lives shortened either immediately or over the long term as a result of the lockdowns?

hopkins, and brown university ( concluded that child development is way off since covid), CT Children’s Medical Center seeing a flood of emergency requests for children’s behavioral health, drug deaths up, girls cutting themselves are way up…
