The White House Just Cried Uncle on COVID-19 — and the Timing Is Incredibly Telling – Opinion

It’s hard to pinpoint the most incompetently handled part of Biden’s presidency so far. It was the flailing of foreign policy that caused the Afghanistan catastrophe. What about the border crisis? Are you experiencing economic malaise or inflation?

Or perhaps it’s the administration’s handling of COVID-19? That’s certainly up there given the number of contradictions that have flowed from the White House and its bureaucracies over the last year. While masks may not be required, now they are. Natural immunity doesn’t exist, but now it exists. Hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work, but now it does work in some situations. The administration repeatedly released conflicting information, which only served to prolong and worsen COVID-19’s pandemic.

Now, with cases crashing, the White House is rushing to take credit, proclaiming the “crisis” over.

You can see that the number of cases is still three to four times higher than it was last summer during the crisis. In the United States, there is still a 7-day average death rate of 2300. Statistically, things are above levels that had the administration screaming “crisis” in prior times.

Don’t get me wrong, I personally don’t think COVID-19 is still a crisis, but the inconsistency of the White House is the point. What’s the point of trying to change public perceptions and crying uncle? The “science” hasn’t changed.

But what have we actually seen change? Political science has evolved. RedState has reported that all polling data indicates the death of the Democrat Party, as RedState reports (see here and hier). There’s a reason blue-state governors have been rushing to lift mandates over the last two weeks. They can see it and are trying to hide it by putting paint on it. The White House has responded to these state-wide actions by shifting its message to salvage political capital and hopefully save some political capital prior to the November red wave.

But the damage is already done. All businesses closed are lost forever. It will be impossible for the children whose childhoods were stolen by selfish adults to get their time back. COVID-19 will continue to kill those who died because of refusals by the government to prioritise treatments for political reasons.

This is not something that the American people will forget. The government abuse squandered innocents will not be changed by Dr. Anthony Fauci praising victory in a stream of live streaming. Fauci once stated that there were 10,000 or less cases per day.

With three COVID waves behind them, Americans know that Biden’s actions have nothing to do with Omicron now receding. Nature was able to take its course, even to the point of this latest version burning down. But Americans do know what Biden’s actions caused them and their communities a lot of pain. If Democrats think they can turn on a dime and pretend the last year didn’t happen, they are sadly mistaken. Retribution is coming at the ballot box, and it’s going to be brutal for the left.
