How did one million U.S. deaths from Covid-19 become normal? @edyong209 tells @MehdiRHasan that it all comes down to the most powerful Americans believing the pandemic is over because they *feel* safe.

Could President Biden continue funding COVID under the National Emergencies Act? The GOP has manipulated and perverted “long standing traditions” that don’t exist. Is there a way succeed using their tactics?

This is correct. The most powerful Americans do not represent reality. “You do you” only works for the elite. They need to design policies that consider the most vulnerable individuals— the ones with the least power to drive change, but the most to lose.

The rich & powerful in this country are using covid to cull the herd. That’s a horrible thing to say, type, think but more & more believe it to be truth. An ugly one. Seems we must face it - before we can fight it. If we even can.

The elites assumed that vax/booster/RATs will protect them from SARS-Cov2 infection & Paxlovid will cure them if they get it. Now they’re suddenly finding out 5 day course might be too short, relapse & rebound is quite common. Paxlovid isn’t the cure Biden admin touted it to be.
