The liberal Washington Post is deeply upset that Conservatives and Libertarians are standing in the way of future pandemic lockdowns.
This is an excellent reminder that the liberal media gleefully supported shutting down the United States during COVID and would absolutely love to see it happen again.
If Conservatives and Libertarians are standing in the way, they deserve our thanks and admiration.

Washington Post torched on Twitter after complaining health officials have limited powers: ‘Medical fascism’
A new Washington Post report slammed “conservatives and libertarians” on Wednesday for working to legally block future pandemic lockdowns and other epidemic related mandates after seeing their effects during the COVID-19 outbreak.
The paper accused them of engaging in a “populist rejection” of pandemic measures that have left American’s public health institutions “defanged” and unprepared for a subsequent pandemic.
Critics of the Post and severe COVID-19 protocols brutalized the piece on Twitter, claiming the public health institutions promoted “medical fascism,” which prompted the conservative pushback…
The article, by Lauren Weber and Joel Achenbach, made the complaint, “Not even the president can force federal agencies to issue vaccine or testing mandates to thwart its march.”
It then blamed right-wingers, saying, “Conservative and libertarian forces have defanged much of the nation’s public health system through legislation and litigation as the world staggers into the fourth year of covid. At least 30 states, nearly all led by Republican legislatures, have passed laws since 2020 that limit public health authority.”
The story hammered the point that “health officials and governors in more than half the country are now restricted from issuing mask mandates, school closures, and other protective measures or must seek permission from their state legislatures before renewing emergency orders,” thanks to conservatives.
Allowing everything to be shut down was a huge mistake which should never be repeated.

“you betcha!”
It is not clear yet that the U.S. economy will survive the last lockdowns.
I hope to heck that the petty tyrants imposing the next lockdowns won’t survive that.
They’re extremists! Terrorists! Freedom lovers!
Let the WaPo lock itself down and leave me the f alone.

To hell with “public health authorities” and the civilians who cheered them on.
That’s right, we are.
Had the lockdown not been abused we would not have as powerful a voice. They don’t get it and perhaps they never will.
Sociopaths have no right to rule.
No person or persons who do not have a disease should ever be quarantined, and The Nuremberg Declaration on HUman Medical experiments should be made into law.
WE WILL NEVER AGAIN ACCEPT INDISCRIMINATE QUARANTINE OR INOCULATION MANDATES.
WE NEVER AGAIN WILL ACCEPT THE MANDATED CLOSURE OF BUSINESSES OR RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS.
Oh gee darn.
There has never been the slightest proof that this Chinese communist “lockdown” concept is even useful for an epidemic.
This is an entirely new concept in epidemic management.
Brought to you be the Chinese communist party. THEY pushed it because they didn’t need to stop a disease. They needed to lock the nation indoors to stop the growing and spreading 2019 protests in Wuhan and Hong Kong.
Our deep state was happy to play along to overthrow Trump by wrecking the economy.
“as the world staggers into the fourth year of covid...” lol.
Some of them were scared ****less by the media. But I don't consider that an excuse for irresponsibility (which is what they accused us of).
It could have worked had our borders been immediately sealed, all flights and ships stopped and 2 week quarantines for anyone entering the country.
Quarantine anyone showing signs of the virus.
Training in the proper wearing and decontamination of MOP gear.
But they didn't.
Doing nothing would have been better than doing what they did and what they will do, given the excuse.
The Compost sure has gone FULL RETARD since Tucker started pumping out the truth about J6. Let the far lefties panic. It will wake them up.
Well, the dirty little secret is you don't actually have to have a virus at all. Just have your people at the CDC mark down -- and instruct hospitals to mark down, with financial incentives -- all flu and respiratory disease patients and fatalities as "Covid." Then make sure your "'Covid' patients" are hospitalized with other vulnerable and compromised people. Also, make certain that, because of "Covid," you instruct hospitals not to conduct urgently needed surgeries of all kinds to avoid spreading the "virus." And then count those who succumb to their conditions as "Covid cases."
There's lots more you can do. You'll figure it out.
Easy peasy.
And your point is?
The reporters unintentionally acknowledged that the public health system has fangs.
