If we were we’d be easier to handle. Instead more people seem to be catching on to liars and manipulators like Fauci and cnn. I started my regular indoor socialization 2 weeks after getting my second dose. I’ve been socializing outdoors in uncrowded environments and didn’t mask up outdoors since last summer. I weighed my risks without the help of cnn or the NYT or liar Fauci and made my own decisions. When did QUESTION AUTHORITY become verboten to liberals? Sad state of affairs. Does the radical left have you convinced or intimidated to stop asking questions? Or is it something else? You can simultaneously hate Trump and hate what the Biden Administration is doing to this country. No end to violence in city streets, Israel attacked without the US showing we have its back, Asians stabbed/beaten for looking Asian, American Asians denied entrance to schools because too many of them are too smart, gas pipeline taken hostage, cost of living rising enough for people to take notice, crisis at border, racist shit about white people in schools and corporate training, back to segregation, people losing their job because they say something the radicals don’t like. Is this what the NY liberals I used to know and love want? Does it not matter what you want because you’ve lost control to the radicals and you’ve effectively been castrated?

The media has really done a great disservice to this country and that’s on both sides of the political aisle.

To get to this point in the process and not have any form of an ERI would be mud in leaderships face. I know that the Mayor is a lame duck and so are some of the City Council, but if any one of these politicians aspire to continue in politics, they will need both of these powerful unions in their pockets. I don't believe that ERI conversations have not taken place with the Mayor's Office (Chancellor) and the City Council since the Mayor supported the ERI at the NYS Budget hearings in February and the City Council enacted a "home rule" in March to have the ERI approved in the State Revenue Budget. Why the UFT states that their is no engagement/no negotiations is interesting. As a commenter mentioned, the UFT previously said to remain patient that they were negotiating terms.

The Chinese lab was using ‘Gain of Function Research’ to develop viruses much stronger than those in nature in order to develop powerful vaccines. The biggest proponent of this type of incredibly dangerous research is Anthony Fauci. He was banned from this type of research here by the Obama administration and allowed to pick it up again by the Trump administration. One of these viruses escapes a lab somewhere in the world about once a year. The media refused to look into any of it because of its hatred of Trump.
