Didn't Biden say he was going to whip Covid as soon as he got in? Not that I believed any of that, but what can libs say when that was basically what he ran on? Well, that, and not being trump.

All I'm seeing is the DOJ and the FBI releasing reports warning of imminent terrorist attacks if Biden even suggests we should wear masks again.

We are so fucked.

      One of my favorite parts of the election.

      Biden: "I promise we're going to cure cancer".

      Don Jr: "That's fucking stupid. Only a goddamn fucking idiot would-"

      Trump: "I'LL CURE CANCER FIRST, FUCK YOU JOE"

      Wonder if by that he meant he'd invade Cuba and take that Lung Vaccine and claim we made it?

        Yeah but then they'd hand the patent to a pharmaceutical company and let them pretend they invented it so it can be sold as a luxury item.

    Replace Republicans with fear of crashing the stock market again and sure that is 95% of the reason. It is the only thing that objectively matters at this point.

      That too...

      It's amazing they don't adapt to what the moneymaker stocks will be when Covid rages again. "I'm sure my stock in that local lamplighter company will hit any day now!"

    Not really. The Republican reactions are their excuse to do what they wanted to do anyway. They don’t give a shit about Covid but because they’re pretending to be „the good guys“ they can‘t outright say it.

    The Republicans are just a convenient scapegoat to kill thousands to make line go up in the name of „bipartisanship“.

    I think they're counting on covid just kind of petering out on its own because of what happened in the UK, except the difference is that (IIRC) 90% of people in the UK are vaccinated. (And the UK has the NHS.) But yeah, Biden doesn't want anything to change and we may be closer than all of us realize to having a state government somewhere overthrown by a bunch of gun-wielding chuds.

      According to Google's info box thingy, 70% of people in the UK have had at least one shot, so 10 points above the US, but they certainly haven't reached critical mass yet

    Biden literally said he doesn’t want shut downs because “muh economy” DURING election season. This was always the plan.

    Nothing will fundamentally change and all that

    Vaccine-beating variant is ‘realistic possibility’, say scientists, amid calls for contingency plans to be revealed :whywhywhywhywhy:

    Cmon man, that wasn’t the deal you lying dog faced pony soldier, we said we would beat COVID and we did beat COVID! Nearly twice! Praise be to allah for the patriots amongst us who took the shot, I know I did. Now this is a new disease, and god willing we’ll trust the science like we did before. I’ve spoken to Andy Fauci and he says that we need to keep the milk bars open, and that’s just what we’re gonna do. Chocolate chocolate chip, it’s a beautiful summer, folks I have to go

      US beat Covid like they beat Taliban. Cue the immune system negotiating peaceful transfer of power to coronavirus.

    They aren't doing anything becuase they don't want to. This is the reaction we would of seen with Hillary in office.

    The only reason we saw a socialist moment last year was cuz of trump and the dems thought they would be bribing us for a huge win.

      Hey, I just don't know of any other spaces to post shit like this so I can express my schadenfreude.

      There was never any expectation of Biden doing anything about this. In fact, he has just been taking credit for things that were already in the works before he was elected.
