So, just read about something interesting, thought I'd write a little thread about it...Do you guys happen to remember when the CDC shut down Fort Detrick in August 2019? Funny thing about that...https://t.co/pCyMnGdhl8 pic.twitter.com/Bp7B6Nq2T7— a lucid lunatic (@aLucidLunatic) April 1, 2020
But seriously now that we've learned that COVID may have originated outside China this thread keeps coming back to me.
Everyone. You got called a "bugchaser" if you at all pointed out that lockdown would be like post-9/11 restrictions and would be used as an excuse to hand over control to Big Tech. Everyone thought that this was The Big One, and that the greedy Capitalists would be so spooked that they would simply have to do what we wanted, so no one bothered to actually look at what was effective (like masks, isolated quarantines, mass testing). They just said, yep, shut it down and pay me! It's like a mandatory strike! We won! Everyone will see the light!
When has everyone on "the Left" ever agreed on one thing? Lol
AKA leftists.
Once again, which "Leftists" are you accusing?
