Sometimes it’s amazing just how disconnected ‘journalists’ are from the world around them and how out of touch they are with the people they claim they are writing for. Case in point is a recent Politico headline declaring that COVID rage had subsided. ‘Journalists’ really think Americans whose lives and livelihoods were destroyed over the government’s overreaction to COVID just suddenly forgot or said ‘let bygones be bygones.’ They’re just mad that Dr. Anthony Fauci was recently put in the hot seat for instigating that destruction while lying about it.

Fauci hearing brings back the Covid vitriol https://t.co/moEk0k9f1C

Wow, their finger hasn't moved an inch off the pulse of America, has it.

It never left. That’s why no one trusts the media. And you all still don’t get it, obviously.

Americans really haven’t had an adequate outlet or occasion to release their rage until last week’s ’Fauci diaries’ hearings.
The Politico writer naively assumed this meant the damage caused by the government’s response to COVID had been repaired. Um, wrong!
Besides the illness and death, the disruption and the loneliness, Americans remember the pandemic for its vitriol. The handling of COVID divided the parties, the states, families, and neighbors, and it’s taken years, in many cases, to repair the damage.
Fauci lied. He documented his lies. These confirm much of what was supposedly a conspiracy theory. It’s in black and white and the hardcore left still sticks their head in the sand to live in a pretend reality about COVID.

No, it hasn't subsided. Americans are still angry about loved ones dying alone. Angry about loss of learning and socialization in their children. Angry about people who died needlessly. Angry about the brazen way Fauci knowingly lied to us, trying to avoid tough questions about his funding of gain-of-function research. Angry about the way he attacked available treatments so his friends in big pharma could make money with their new solution.

It's not vitriol and it's not "back". There's never been any accountability and many of us haven't forgotten.

Exactly.
Isolation was a main focus of the COVID response, but it’s clear ‘journalists’ are still isolated in their political bubbles with their fellow Democrats. Reality can’t seep in.

It would not be a far-fetched assumption to say most DC journalists do not have kids.
— Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) August 4, 2026
If they did, they would still be fuming mad that unnecessary school shutdowns set their children back.
Commenters laugh at the ridiculous assertion that COVID rage has subsided. Here are plenty of reasons why anger is still white hot.
I got angry because of the covid mass hysteria.

My rage has not subsided.
You got to be kidding right?

That mandated poison killed my mother!
Rage subsided?
How out of touch can you truly be..
I could not have a proper funeral for my 31yr Navy vet dad/George Floyd had multiple funerals a couple of months later. I will never forget.

Uh...I have news. My covid rage will never subside.

They're culpable, so of course they want it to go away
— Snuggs!!!! (@SnuggyJr) August 4, 2026
Correct. ‘Journalists’ are culpable, so they’ve chosen to ignore the anger still swirling around them. Better for them to pretend genuine rage is misplaced than to accept responsibility for a soul-destroying pandemic panic that Americans can never get over.
