@invisibleSun,

Thanks for the Bloomberg article. It provides evidence of narrative collapse. I quote:
"Theres a dearth of scientific studies with concrete answers, leaving public policy makers and corporate executives to formulate plans based on fragmented information. While some are renewing mask mandates or delaying office reopenings, others cite the lack of clarity to justify staying the course."

Rhetorically, they've transformed people who are advocating for vaccines and mandates into the equivalent of George HW Bush in 1992: stay the course. Anybody who remembers that campaign, and remembers How Bush just basically rolled over and wet himself, knows what this means. Anybody who clings to the current methods is a loser.

As with Biden in Afghanistan, success has 1000 fathers, but failure is an orphan. You could be an underdog and still survive in America, but a loser is consigned to the ash heap.
