Yeah, we never had a chance without strict interstate travel restrictions. We hosed up in a lot of ways, but that was really the key that wrecked any hope of ever controlling COVID.

I almost feel bad for the Russians and other adversaries of the US because, like, I'm sure they probably did have disinformation campaigns and psyops ready to try and sabotage Biden's response and sow confusion. Then it turns out Biden's administration is even less able to handle COVID than Trump's and there's no need for any of that because no foreign disinformation campaign can compete with the CDC.

There's a thing going around on reddit now about how students in Texas shouldn't be allowed to vote because they aren't "citizens" of Texas

reddit's a big psyop so expect state citizenship poo poo to start making the general rounds before too long.

You don't need foreign influence or spies to call out the Sleepy Joe admin as being a different type of incompetence than what Trump did.

Sleepy literally had things like returning to school and on-site work part of the campaign platform.

The opposite of harm reduction. Rather than doing everything possible to minimize chances of death, no matter how little, it's the opposite. Like at this point I honestly can't even find a motive for DeSantis' behavior behind legit bloodlust. I still say that Biden's administration and the CDC's behavior all make sense and are perfectly coherent and logical if you assume that their goal is to gaslight the pubic into thinking vaccines alone can and will save them, but I legit can't imagine any motivation for DeSantis that jives with his behavior besides 'I want to kill people.'
