You’re right, comprehensively shitting the bed on the COVID response wasn’t the problem, it’s that we didn’t go to war with China. Bombing Wuhan would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

Do you seriously believe anything wold have changed about the way the American right responded to COVID if the New York Times had said “gosh, maybe it IS China’s fault!” You think that would have changed the behavior of the guy who told the country to drink bleach?

I think the goal of arriving at the truth should not be evaluated instrumentally.

I’m sorry, you used the word “vindicated,” and some people I knew aren’t alive anymore because of the way the right wing politicized this pandemic. There isn’t anything that can ever “vindicate” the people responsible for that.

That argument is incoherent. The right wing can be bad and also correct in this specific matter.

Sure, but that’s not what your original tweet said, is it?
