The bit from Behar about losing faith in scientists because a few did some rationalizations about BLM protest risks during the pandemic is some ridiculous blinkeredness, considering the shit he and his have justified over the years. Schatz is getting brain poisoned in realtime on twitter.

I hope that’s not what’s happening. But man. Some of these people seem to bounce all over the place.

I mean the schools thing is just delusional revisionism.

Oh apologies for no alt text. It's a graphic of the USA showing school openings by state as of 3/21. Only Puerto Rico had a full closure. Most of the country was always open. By this point the few that had closed were either fully open or in some transition phase.

For the future, since it seems like you dont want to forget, there is a setting you can turn on that wont let you forget alt text.

Also there was only a short time lost in spring 2020, then after summer they tried to open in fall 2020 and almost immediately *had* to close because all the teachers were sick. It’s like everyone has erased what actually happened during that time.

The memory holing of what actually happened is remarkable.

He’s been the same far right Covid talking points since 2021 lol you just weren’t paying close enough attention

been spewing the same

Covid broke so many brains.

I don’t think it was Covid lol the dem leadership in Congress has been like this since the 90s

I think Twitter is accelerating the process far more than COVID did

Also the protests were in open spaces where the risk of COVID transmission was significantly lower than in enclosed spaces, and many of the protesters were wearing face masks.
