I believe what we're seeing here is the left-media machine beginning to try to change the narrative about covid for the run up to the mid-terms elections in the US. They've hung their hat on the authoritarian approach until now and utterly failed to actually do anything, and seem to want to avoid being punished for it. There are too many of these about-face articles appearing at once to seem organic and not an attempt to manufacture consent, so to speak.
- causalmodels 5y agoI share your distrust of the media, but I think there is an even more cynical answer at play. A bunch of my personal friends work for these publications. Almost all of us got covid in December, ironically many from the holiday parties of these publications, and came face to face with the reality that we have sacrificed almost two years of our 20s to a virus that was pretty mild. The thing we were trying to avoid came for us, so the idea that we would continue to live in fear of an event that already happened is absurd.
