The breathless headlines about natural immunity being stronger than vaccination are so dumb. Like, no shit? The point is you don't have to get sick with a potentially deadly, life-altering illness to gain immunity.

I'll add, again, that the single solitary counterfactual to which we know the answer is that if Trump were still in charge, few to no SIVs would have been evacuated. https://t.co/XhADeok4LS

"Surrounded" is absolutely a lie. There was a single member of the capitol police in the vicinity. Behind Babbitt was an angry mob brandishing weapons and smashing through a barricade.

The last barricade between them and our government.

That officer stood at his post. https://t.co/uEexHLzpLm
