I wonder if the flu will be making a comeback next year since it decided to take 2021 off.

Who wants to tell Rep. Lauren Boebert that the reason influenza “decided to take 2021 off” is the preventative measures to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic–and that Boebert resisted to the point of having her restaurant shut down–also stopped the flu?
We can’t imagine this was the point Boebert was trying to make, since it’s an implicit admission she was on the wrong side of the biggest epidemiological question of our lives so far. But what else could she have meant?
Sometimes it’s the throwaway lines that say the most, folks.

We can't replace this fool soon enough.
Can't fix stupid.
Not to nitpick, but 2021 is not over
And unfortunately, while the flu may be "taking 2021 off", the particularly virulent plague of Western Colorado isn't.
<nodding appreciatively>
I see what you did there. You win.
And flu season starts in the fall. But poor Lauren doesn't understand things so complicated like calendars and seasons
Good Lord. This is an inadvertent admission that she doesn't understand the most basic science behind wearing masks and social distancing. Next level ignorance.
If only we had a vaccine for that? 😉
We do, but it is not spelled G E D.
If I cared even a single whitlet about Q-bie’s twitterings, I guess I’d be asking myself, “WTF does that even mean?” . . .
. . . I wonder if — is she somehow possibly even dumber than I’ve imagined?
You need to imagine in a more bigly fashion.
Stunned. am I.
Wow. No vaccines for stupidity.
