    Reminds me of early covid where people were claiming the death reports were somehow politically motivated.

    Are we this stupid?

      They were absolutely inflating numbers for political reasons. They cdc walked back everything they said about Covid and the vaccines after 2 years of outright lying.

      The difference was that was 100% both sides doing it at different points because they were both completely for it. The mass consolidation of wealth going on at the time as well as letting pharma companies rush out a vaccine that did nothing they claimed it did, wasn’t tested thoroughly, and ended up getting recalled for causing blood clotting which also caused a bunch of deaths.

      Where the fuck along the way was the Covid disaster not politically motivated? Every small company was bought out by the giants or went out of business during that time. The people paying off US politicians were the only ones benefiting as housing, rental, car, food prices tripled and I’m guessing that’s just coincidence?

        The inflation is largely the PPP and corporate greed.

        The rest of your post is pretty unhinged. The vaccines are effective, even if they don’t completely prevent infection. The mass consolidation of wealth has been happening for fifty years; they didn’t need to make up an excuse.
