I get it that we didn't know exactly what was happening at the beginning of COVID and some mistakes were inevitable.
0:06
But four years on, I'm tired of hearing, well, we didn't know.
0:11

0:14
And the people who got it wrong don't seem to want to acknowledge that now.

Some people said closing schools for so long was pointless and would cause much worse collateral damage to the kids, and they were right.

Four years ago, the Daily Beast ran a story with the headline, Bill Maher pushes Steve Bannon Wuhan lab conspiracy theory, which was typical of the mainstream media at the time.

0:49
And now everyone, including the Biden administration, admits there's at least a 50-50 chance that the virus could have begun in the lab in Wuhan that was doing gain-of-function research on that virus.
1:09
But I don't see a lot of retractions being printed.
1:12

We were told to wash our hands every five minutes and don't ever touch your face, and if you absolutely must go to the beach, for the sake of all that's holy, wear a mask.

Outside, because the last thing you would want to do when a disease is afoot is get fresh air and sunshine and vitamin D. No, much better to stay locked up, stressed out, and day drinking.

3:17
So even if you've had the disease, you need a shot.
3:20
Yes, some very bad ideas were embraced as the conventional wisdom, ideas that haven't aged well.
