It's been political since day 1 and the shutdowns. Both sides have played their cards as expected and showed their asses. It's bad look on both sides. But yes, Tucker is a huge dumbass.
This isn't a "both sides" issue now. One side is clearly wrong and is without a doubt going to let to more people dying than if they did the opposite of whatever the eff they're trying to do now.
It’s definitely not a “good people on both sides” thing, but I am convinced that the messaging from the other side of “get double vaxxed, then social distance and still double mask” is doing quite a bit of harm.
Who is doing that?
I think the article DQ shared captures it pretty well. And to your point re Fauci, most of the damage is already done. Similar to how they bungled the messaging on masks, the consequences just pile up.
I’m not saying people had to get hurt by libs continuing to emphasize caution after vaccination, but it was a predictable consequence that it would cause fewer to get vaccinated because they saw the benefits as de minimus.
