The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.

That’s just not true! About vaccines or autism!! 🤬
Seth Trueger (@mdaware.org) reposted
it’s hard to overstate: -how beneficial vaccines are -how massively overwhelming the evidence is showing no link between vaccines and autism -how impossible it is that RFK will somehow “find the cause” (at all, let alone in his first year) -how much RFKjr want to get rid of childhood vaccines
Michael Hobbes (@michaelhobbes.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Exactly, the entire argument for this narrative is that kids rarely die of COVID. That’s true, but it wasn’t the justification for the policy. Teachers *do* die of COVID and kids *do* spread COVID. Some studies find school closures were the most effective intervention for preventing cases!
Michael Hobbes (@michaelhobbes.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
The right is pushing this narrative because it’s the only place they can blame liberals — their actual goal — and gain purchase among elites. The *actual* mistakes during the pandemic all originate on the right: lax lockdowns, weak mitigations and low vaccine uptake

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

To draw a connection between Michelle Obama and RFK Jr. is an act of imagination that bypasses the most dangerous aspects of RFK Jr (which the author is surely aware of, having written this also). I dunno, maybe the idea is to win over conservatives. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

The nuclear family is a modern invention grounded in modern patriarchal and capitalist power structure, but that doesn't stop fascists from pretending it's the "natural" power model and social structure that should be copied at every level of society.
Gwen Snyder is uncivil (@gwensnyder.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Patriarchy teaches people to expect society to be structured like a "traditional" nuclear family at both micro and macro levels. There is an expectation of a society propped up by invisible unpaid feminine labor on the one hand and protected by a violent, dominating patriarch on the other.
