If she can lift 50lbs, then she can do the job.

Maybe not for her. 

If you're ever looking for someone to fill an office role let me know. The only thing really keeping us from moving to Florida is her job. 

Rich coming from a man that literally killed grandmas.

Then you have this, over a year in...

Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is facing growing criticism after she lifted the mask mandate for vaccinated people, then backtracked and reinstated it less than 24 hours later.

Bowser also enacted a ban on dancing at wedding receptions. https://t.co/aCm3h13nA8

I'm seeing Help Wanted signs all over the place. 

This is a real crisis, and until we stop paying people NOT to work, it is not going to get better.  EVERY business person you talk to has the same problem, and as usual, the government is to blame.

So Fauci and the US government paid for gain of function on Covid?  Sent the research to Wuhan and paid for it?  THen was part of the coverup when it all went bad?

So masks are pretty much done in NYC.   Interesting.  I think the play here is if masks  come off and cases go up,  the vaccine passport conversation increases in volume.

I'm sure they can wait 10 months or so.  Fauci has already said he thinks an annual booster shot will be needed....which strikes me being more a financial view than a scientific one.

It will be a shit show next year when cases start going back up and people aren't getting vaccinated.  Although I suspect immunity lasts more than 12 months, probably more like several years.

Fauci is now flip flopping on whether the virus came from a lab. I wonder why the change of heart. 

How many times has this dude been wrong, lied, it flip flopped on this pandemic? I can’t keep count.  It’s pathetic how many people fanboyed this public servant nerd (yes Boogie, I know tHiS HaPpEnS oN bOtH sIdEs).

I don't question his intentions, but obviously he has no credibility at this point.  He needs to be fired.

And then tonight I just saw an SNL commercial and they all are still wearing masks.  Yes, it is political.  The interesting aspect of it is why the Left still thinks that optic benefits them.

This is also funny because if you even brought up the possibility of the lab theory you were called a conspiracy theorist and absolutely ridiculous (even on here). Social media sites were even banning people for mentioning it.

Yep ..................and then there's the 'settled' science on climate change....

Fauci, Gates, Cuomo, etc al, psyschopaths

LOL, I remember getting mocked for that.

But that's the politicization of it all.  Somehow there was no middle ground - believing it escaped a lab where it was being studied legitimately somehow meant you bought into the conspiracy it was a bio weapons program.

Other than politics, I have no idea why it was so important to so many people to dismiss a very real and very obvious possibility the source was a lab leak.

Even with Trump gone, the media still struggles to criticize China because they just can't bring themselves to admit that Trump actually got some things right.  It's almost as if the woke media thinks all Asian people come from China, and any criticism of their govt is somehow racist.

The propagandists getting exposed, for once. 

Interesting paper from Fauci in 2012:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3484390/

Putting aside the specter of bioterrorism for the moment, consider this hypothetical scenario: an important gain-of-function experiment involving a virus with serious pandemic potential is performed in a well-regulated, world-class laboratory by experienced investigators, but the information from the experiment is then used by another scientist who does not have the same training and facilities and is not subject to the same regulations. In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic?

There was a reason the vaccines came out so fast.  These assholes had been messing with these for awhile and already had the viruses sequenced.

Anyone read through the FOIA Fauci emails yet? On twitter it's either the smoking gun to put him in prison or an absolute nothingburger. Because of course that was going to be the reaction.

The reason was funding.
