Yeah this looks like an 'aren't we all glad covid is over now' narrative being deployed, 'sure it might still be around here or there, but the pandemic is over, mission accomplished'. Mainstream articles about covid talk about it in a passive voice where there's never any retroactive blame or responsibility on the government and just focus on personal measures like getting vaccinated (and sometimes reminding about masks). Also the ~10% chance of getting long covid per infection is under-discussed when it could be used as a good personal interest motivator to take covid more seriously.
btw the only 2 accounts I miss since stopping to use twitter are Dr. Lucky Tran and Arnaud Bertrand (for geopolitics/news/takes), feel like I should bookmark them now that we have xcancel. Sometimes Eric Topol had good stuff too.
