Critics have said the CDC fumbled key decisions on COVID because the Trump administration meddled in the agency’s operations. But @Reuters has found evidence that the response was marred by actions – or inaction – by career scientists and frontline staff https://reut.rs/3paHCES //

I am continually perplexed by the childishness of adults on the left. They still read comic books, they watch superhero movies, they play video games, spend hours on social media, ride skateboards and bicycles, defer marriage and family until mid to late thirties or forties, and hold the belief that the insulated fantasy world of the university socialist cocoon should be social reality for everyone.

One of the most irritating things children do is exaggerate and overstate everything. If something is good, it's the best thing ever. If they don't like it, it is akin to Hitler. If someone makes them mad or hurts their feelings, they never want to see them again and hope something bad happens to them in return. Allowing them to do it for long allows them to develop a childish view of society as a binary proposition from scalp to sole. Everyone wears a white hat or a black hat. They are moral or they are evil. They are good or they are bad, college educated or stupid, oppressor or oppressed, ally or enemy, conservative or human. This is the binary world they wish to create, and are creating, where there is no nuance or subtlety, no neutrality allowed about anything, and where you are either an asset to the collective to be used or you are an obstacle to it to be eliminated. And so the ideological violator is not just wrong, he is evil, and the evil become fair game. And here we are. //

Trusting the government to get things right is always foolish. Just because the bureaucrats were 'scientists' from the CDC in this case doesn't make them any more competent. Governments are force, markets are competition. Without competition you can always expect incompetence. //

Liberals intentionally created chaos to destroy Trumps chances of being re-elected as POTUS at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives.

Indeed. One need only read Marx, Lenin, and Stalin to know the playbook:
Misery motivates, not utopia. - Karl Marx
