Pretending COVID isn’t a problem and getting mad at people who take it seriously doesn’t make the virus go away. Mitigation measures are unpleasant—life was better without a pandemic—but mass quarantines and remote schooling are worse. Wishful thinking is a terrible strategy. https://t.co/NxuNOAvfGE
Every option in Afghanistan was bad. I’m more critical of withdrawing than most, and think too many Americans see war as all or nothing, where it’s clear victory or totally pointless. But we should recognize the choice was, at best, between bad & worse, not between great & awful.
A child under 5 has died of COVID in Florida. Please wear a mask, especially if you’re not vaccinated. It’s a lot less inconvenient that going to a funeral. https://t.co/nIOax4iFEv

This is an outright lie. The Trump administration accelerated the withdrawal from Afghanistan as the Taliban launched an offensive against Afghan troops and police -- and the Taliban never broke with Al Qaeda. This one is on you too, Mike. https://t.co/Ky64JMAuMY
No one LIKES masks, lockdowns & experimental vaccines. Most of us do it so ppl won’t die; others don’t give AF. But only ONE PARTY made not giving a fuck part of their official policy
So please stop saying the pandemic’s been “politicized.” It hasn’t
If I go out of my way to type in a protocol you do what I say and use that protocol. The browser is a tool, and tools do what they are told. https://t.co/8F7paPyQjE
