As we reported, "super-immunocompromised" Taylor Lorenz posted that she was missing her fourth Christmas because people were too selfish to wear masks and were committing "social murder of disabled people." We don't know what social murder is, but it sounds serious.
Sen. Bernie Sanders posted this week that he's tested positive for COVID-19 but would continue to work from his home in Vermont. Plus, thankfully, he was up-to-date on his shots … which are supposed to prevent you from contracting COVID.
Someone got mad at Sanders for not taking the situation seriously enough, and even Obama bro Jon Favreau was impressed.

Favreau got piled on by the disabled, who assured him they are still here. Sanders isn't disabled, though, so we don't see the issue with him working from home if he's up to it.
Lorenz called out "big liberal podcasters" like Favreau for pushing "extreme far-right ideology" on COVID and said it's astounding to watch their evolution to "spouting far-right talking points and advocating for eugenics in 2023."
WaPo reporter Taylor Lorenz (339k followers) says that people are advocating for EUGENICS (!?!) if they think it's ok for Bernie Sanders to work from home while he has COVID.

"extreme far right"

That would be normal people.
I think I’ve finally reached the point where she no longer makes me angry and I now just feel profoundly sad for her. Maybe. (I’m trying real hard, but she sure doesn’t make it easy.)

I am genuinely baffled by this little dust-up. Even if you're a COVID dead-ender like Taylor Lorenz, why is it objectionable for Bernie or anyone else to work from home while infected?
— James Harrigan (@jamesharrigan) December 29, 2023
Has anybody considered the maybe Taylor Lorenz is insane? Just asking questions.

We assume the Washington Post is accommodating her by letting her work from home.
It was a word she heard once and thought she’d try to use it in a sentence.

Sometimes it's really hard to tell if somebody is a clown or has simply figured out that there's a big market in creating content for clowns.

Some people, I have learned through experience, are simply afraid. They are inherently fearful and there's no reasoning with them. Those of us who are not fearful should either protect them, or ignore them, but never enable them.

I don't even understand the complaint.

Can someone explain to me the "Far Right Talking Points" and "Advocating for Eugenics"? I'm so lost
— Cliffo (@CliffoTalks) December 30, 2023
I don’t even understand the point they’re trying to make. Like I’m trying to come up with the most generous interpretation of their “argument,” such that it were, and it’s complete nonsense.

Apparently, Sanders is minimizing the risk of COVID by posting that he's still working.
Branch Covidians have been saying deranged things like this for years. If you thought kids should be in school, back in 2020, you were a racist eugenics advocate who literally didn’t care if all the grandmas died. Why anyone takes these people seriously is beyond me.

My brain seriously hurts reading those screenshots. Nothing Sanders said was crazy, and yet there’s a whole thread talking about eugenics and acting like he’s got a death sentence. How and why do people do this?

We guess it's different when you're super-immunocompromised and have Long COVID.
