There seems to be a pivot taking place in the media as it concerns Covid-19. Today’s example is MSNBC’s Chris Hayes:
.@chrislhayes on the weird reality for vaccinated folks amid omicron wave:
The risk went from something we hadn’t really dealt with before in our lifetimes, to something that looks more like the flu. The flu can still be dangerous—but we do not reorient our lives around the flu. pic.twitter.com/4K5qNOplpW

“We don’t reorient our lives around the flu” when it’s our lives being impacted.

Pivot in progress!
You all will be TOTALLY shocked to hear this but Chris Hayes has changed his tune. https://t.co/HHMKwGCHrH pic.twitter.com/wVYdiDIynO

Imagine the Left’s reaction if anybody from Ron DeSantis to Tucker Carlson said something similar just a couple of weeks ago.
If Tucker Carlson said exactly this one week ago people would be calling for him to be taken off the air.

After two years of bashing and censoring anyone who likened COVID to the flu, are you seriously making this comparison?

Are these people serious? They wanted to permanently cancel anyone who said this like 60 seconds ago. https://t.co/FdZ8aAlwV9

Never forget the people who spent 2 years lying to you until they got tired of the restrictions. The science hasn’t changed, just their willingness to accept the risk to try and save Biden’s ass. https://t.co/O6sF27VYh1

Media elites who spent two years scolding us for criticizing irrational covid restrictions are now rationalizing what we've said all along, simply because they're all getting the vid and they don't want to live under the same restrictions.#covid https://t.co/k1n9riFcp0

The “rules” never bother the Left when they’re not the ones living under them, but when they hit home then there’s a problem.
