Amazing how much we’ve even fucked up the good.

Instead of balanced optimism since the launch of the vaccines, the public has been offered a lot of misguided fretting over new virus variants, subjected to misleading debates about the inferiority of certain vaccines, and presented with long lists of things vaccinated people still cannot do, while media outlets wonder whether the pandemic will ever end.

We need to invent new names for how hard liberals (mostly) fail at this. The word “failure” just isn’t encompassing or expressive enough.
