“All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.”
After I posted my comment, got the song stuck in my head.
This was the line that woke me as to maybe the genesis of the meme.
According to Dr. Birx, it was Mike Pence who headed the covid response:
How Trump was played and backstabbed during Covid. Dr Deborah Birx was the deep state villain who went behind Trump's back in cooperation with Mike Pence
Dr. Birx also admits to “hiding” data in the weekly reports to state health officials in order to encourage her “lockdowns and masking and mass testing” regime.
"I shared these strategies with the three members of the data team also writing these reports. Our Saturday and Sunday report-writing routine soon became: write, submit, revise, hide, resubmit. Fortunately, this strategic sleight-of-hand worked. That they never seemed to catch this subterfuge" -(Birx book)
