I think we did all kinds of things wrong in our handling of the pandemic. Attitudes like yours on one of our political extremes help explain why we’ll never look at it rationally enough to learn real lessons. Not unlike the instant dismissals of the lab leak theory which helped ensure we will probably never know the truth of the virus’s origin.
