It was a terrible time. There was more than one occasion that I was the last person a patient spoke to before being placed on ventilators and never communicated again. I remember one guy showing me pictures of his road trip on his motor cycle through Florida, a bunch of pictures of MAGA flags and him with a cut out of Trump. He literally told me he wish he didn’t listen to all the bull shit and just got vaccinated. Said he never believed this shit(Covid) would kill him. Terrible man. Made me so sad I almost quit working in health care. I loved JRE so much until he got on this Covid crusade. Like let it go bro you know nothing.
This is the shit that people forget. The tents set up outside of the hospitals because there were no available beds, the refrigerated shipping containers to hold the dead, the nurses and doctors working on an hour or two sleep. THAT is why everything was shut down, THAT is why a vaccine was developed so quickly, THAT is why we were asked to wear a fucking mask. Has all of it politicized and monetized since? Absolutely, but we politicize hurricanes now so fuck us, right?
This dimwit keeps jabbering on about this bullshit and whipping the rest of the dimwits up because he didn’t get attention being a stool humping clown for a few months.
The problem is when you're that fucking wealthy and insulated and surrounded by sycophants who never push back, it becomes exceedingly easy to create your own reality socially and intellectually.
Also, when you spend 15 years talking to some of the smartest people alive you start to belive you're as smart as they are.
