Rage Return?: Politico ‘Journo’ Declared COVID Damage Repaired Until Fauci Forced to Testify

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.

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.
