Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's efforts to undermine vaccine confidence boosts the theory that 'it was never about the science' for many Dems [video]

With the COVID19 vaccine came a reduced need for people to wear masks everywhere, and now Democrats aren’t quite sure what to do with themselves.

What’s a bigger issue facing Democrats? Surging anti-Semitism, or the “science denialism”? https://t.co/1Ls0o1hY2c

Antisemitism is certainly surging these days, even more than usual. But science denialism is really giving antisemitism a run for its money.

Case in point, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot:

Even Stephanie Ruhle is rolling her eyes at Lightfoot.

As well she should, because what Lightfoot is saying is ridiculous and decidedly unscientific.

You still have to signal your virtue. We can't see the band-aid on your shoulder.

*Pseudoscience.

Because this was never about science to some people.

Narrator: it wasn’t about the science.

It was about power.

Anyone surprised that leftists are turning their backs on “trust the science” the moment it gives them less power was not paying attention. https://t.co/RVIEKSbxik
