"A month or so from now Ontario will discover germ theory."
This reminds me of the easiest liberal justification for not addressing covid. "There is just so much more that we need to learn about the virus." Apparently, everyone forgot that you won't get the virus if you don't get exposed to the virus, and you could immediately stop it's spread even if you stopped all research on it.
I guess it didn't satisfy their technocratic itch if they couldn't propose an overly complicated and ultimately doomed to fail solution to what was actually a simple problem. There was also the need to adopt an intellectual affect that distinguished you from Trump's base.

I can imagine Biden's aides so full of joy when they learned Biden was going to use the phrase "a pandemic of the unvaccinated". And it's true that after Biden said - libs used spoons to eat up that shit. They love to be reminded of their moral superiority.
But the right-wing heard things very differently. They heard Biden call them fucking stupid. And that's not exactly useful in a pandemic and many then 100% rejected vaccines and masks forever.

Anyway, I'll wind down my ranting now.
