Just posting this here as I saw Trump mentioned somewhere else in this thread - despite being basically the opposite of a Trump supporter, it seems obvious to me that the liberal media jumped on COVID as quickly as possible in the effort to push Trump out of office. I can't speak to causality.

The current twatty attitude that if you're not vaccinated, you're a scumbag, I'm still trying to wrap my head around. I'm sure they have ulterior motives, don't kid yourself that anyone in power in either party gives a shit whether the common piss-ant lives or dies.
