This country is jumping the shark so hard 😖

The mainstream of American opposition at this point accepts without thought that WHO & anything that would call itself a 'vaccine alliance' would prima facie be part of an evil cabal.
Centrist Democrats will therefore try to disassociate themselves with WHO & Gavi in a vain attempt to win the attention of the mainstream of American opposition.
@luckytran <sigh>
Dropping Covid emergency measures is both stupid and logical.
Stupid because of course Covid is isn’t over if you look at the evidence from a medical or social impact perspective.
It’s logical because you can’t keep trying to lead where the electorate just isn’t going to go. Not *should go* but *will* go.
It’s like the meme “time to stop saying ‘avoid it like the plague,’ because that’s not what we do now.”
Edit to clarify it’s covid.
@shawrd773 @luckytran I don’t disagree. But there’s no support in the media - which is driven by money, not truth - to spread the word. The purveyors of falsehoods have won.
It’s going to take a much higher death rate to get the public’s attention next time. Until people die in the tens of thousands per day in the US alone, it’s not going to get attention.
From a leadership perspective, it’s time to work on groundwork for next time. Makes me sad. People are getting hurt for no reason.
America is truly the greatest country in the USA 🙃
