It's pretty interesting seeing a complete about-face from the corporate media after beating the fear drum incessantly for the past two years. They've enthusiastically supported every lockdown, every school closure, and every mask mandate. They vilified people for wanting to do totally normal human things, like going to parties, seeing family members over the holidays, eating at restaurants, or going to work. Why the sudden change in perspective?
