Thank you. Your clarity and logic is uplifting in an era of venomous stupidity.

I think from our perspective, how people can continue to do this and expect that their credibility is not undermined is kind of shocking.

However, what's happening is simply brute force historical revisionism. They have the money and resources just to pay off everyone to keep repeating the same lies rather than try to be accountable.

The fact is that the Biden administration (though it probably would be any political or administrative decision-maker in the U.S. allowed to be in power, given the extent of pharmaceutical capture in US lobbying and politics) doubles down on a forced narrative -- and people are so desperate to avoid cognitive dissonance (the admission that they were wrong and yes most pandemic measures REALLY WERE political and not scientific, simply put) that they're willing to continue accepting lies while almost every other country actually makes decisions based on real data rather than pseudo-scientific demagoguery that appeals to a voter base rather than to, you know, what we actually accurately say we know.
