Ben Shapiro's Hilarious Takedown of COVID Lies the Left Walked Back in 2021
PJ Media ^ | 31 Dec 2021 | Victoria Taft

No, you’re not going goofy. You are not imagining things. You, in fact, are watching real-time dissembling by our elite “betters,” who have been blaming COVID infections on Donald Trump and his voters for at least a year.

And now some of them are coming clean.

The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro ran a series of messages on Twitter laying out all the COVID-related fairy tales the Left has ardently believed and is now quietly trying to memory-hole. At long last, it seems facts have gotten in the way of the crazy–and it’s just getting too embarrassing not to report them.

Never mind that vaccine-hesitant and other people who have been watching the same pandemic came to different conclusions months and months ago. Who are the science-y people again? Paging Galileo.

In his thread, Shapiro named ten times where Lefties have done a full Emily Litella on their previous ardently held COVID “truths.”

1. Cloth masks are ineffective against omicron (Leanna Wen, CNN);
2. The vaccinated can spread and get covid;
3. The death rate is comparable to the flu (Chris Hayes);
4. Many people are entering hospitals with covid, not from covid (Fauci);
5. Natural immunity is a reason omicron hasn’t been as virulent (Fauci);
6. We have to take into account societal needs, not just spread prevention (CDC);
7. The asymptomatic should not be tested (NFL);
8. We should focus on hospitalizations and deaths, not case rate (Biden);
9. Children are not at risk and schools should remain open;
10. Covid is predominantly an illness affecting the immunocompromised and elderly and we should not shut down society.

Yet we have a poster on this very website writing that governments on the one hand had to overreact because if the threat was real everyone would complain, while on the other hand overreacted at the same time! There’s nothing COVID-19 can’t do!

Ben Shapiro.

The same never-Trumper who said, “Get the vaccine, dopes”?

I stopped listening to this NeoCon a long, long time ago. At about the same time I stopped reading Mona Charen and Kristol and all the others.

Do you also put your fingers in your ears and say “I can’t hear you I can’t hear you...”

I would love to have your list of absolutely pure Republicans who are perfect in everything they’ve ever said done.

Whoopi Goldberg went to her doctor fearing she had Covid.

"Doc, I've lost my sense of taste," she wailed.

"Yes, that's apparent by that outfit you're wearing, he replied."

He was forced off of Breitbart because of his constant attacks on Trump. He was. Whether he’s changed his tune since then, doesn’t matter to me.

No, I don’t.

But that doesn’t mean I have to waste my time on phonies that are working against the true Patriots. How much time do you spend over at the Democrat Underground?

Nice either/or fallacy you have there — as if we have to have a “perfect” Republican.

We don’t have to have a “perfect” Republican.

We just need to ignore and reduce the influence of those that pretend to be Republicans but are actually enabling our enemies.

You know, RINOs and NeoCons.
