The same people who claim that COVID is a lab-leaked bio-weapon are at the same time against vaccines, masks and other means of defending against it.
And simultaneously claim that COVID-19 is/was a hoax.
Yeah, that's the really fucking stupidest part of it all. The same gomers that said it was "just like the flu" and playing stupid games like saying people "died with Covid" not from Covid and being the most maximalist antiVA and antiMA Karens all while saying it was definitely a lab leak that Fauci masterminded.
I mean....what the actual fuck. These people have brain rot. Anything they thought put donvict's re-election at risk was something they fought against, so any reasonable response to Covid was something they hated, and still hate even now. I see this type still getting upset when they see a mask, still ranting about it online.
And seriouly, if donvict had probably done even the most basic and civil of things in response to Covid instead of his usual bullshit "art of the deal" shit he thinks is a great worldwide tactic....he would have been reelected most likely. But he couldn't even act like he had empathy even in the most obvious of scenarios to show empathy. It was all about donnie, donnie, donnie and "his" stock market and trying to play favorites between "blue" and "red" states when it came to life-saving equipment and so on.
