This gross abuse of power ruined lives, wasted trillions and set the country back by years.
They all know it. We knew it at the time. This is a real problem for them because of Liberalism Rule #4:
Liberalism Rule #4 - We believe ourselves to be smarter.
i. Full learning requires admitting mistakes. Admitting mistakes undermines the premise of
being smarter, ergo self correction is not possible.
But but it is absolutely critical to hold them accountable because they will do it again as observed in Rule #5:
Liberalism Rule #5 - What didn’t work last time, will work next time (see 4 i.)
These people were idiots who knew nothing of the actual science. Their leaders influenced the system to suppress actual scientific and medical debate. They deprived all of us of our liberties using a loophole in our sytem that no one ever thought would be abused.
Close the loopholes in each state. Remember when you vote. And be grateful for Ron DeSantis.

Policy involves judgement calls regarding acceptable risk for humans, among other things. That is not the domain of science.
Whenever we hear Dems act like people deny science when the people are actually opposing policy, we know some kind of bullshit is going on...and that perhaps their policy is not as strong as it should be, because they cannot justify their policy on its own merit, and they feel compelled to pretend their policy is dictated by science.

The argument is whether the decisions represented gross negligence or just a "Good Samaritan" fuckup.

It was one of those policies that were really bad but you will never admit that.

People losing their jobs for a shot that didn’t stop the spread? Those policies?

They still think what they did was right and that is the problem. They still call this shot a vaccine when it’s not. How about we start with putting the definition back to what it was and go from there?
They will do it again to us all in a heartbeat.
Haven't seen that yet...
experience with the "Novel" virus in the early days of the pandemic...i.e. 20/20 hindsight is inappropriate...good people tried to do the right thing, but had to deal with a considerable amount of misinformation...some of it malicious (e.g. ingest 'Bleach' to fight COVID). While the school closures were damaging to kids' learning...she doesn't call for no closures at all, just better preparation for a future pandemic so that they are not extended too long...she also failed to adequately address the concern for opening schools when vaccines for teachers, et al, were not available...that's a gaping hole in her assessment.
You still have a lot to learn about responding to a pandemic.
