Like all good politicians and bureaucrats everywhere these guys are just trying to walk this back as best as they can to minimize the damage to themselves. They bet big on covid and the covid response actions and they lost big so now it's about damage control; how best can we position ourselves so we aren't looking like the baddies we are/were during covid.

Had they succeeded, had their been a larger percent of teh population supporting the responses, these same pricks would be doubling down and claiming the near mystical praise of their advice on how to respond to covid. There's probably some small percent who genuinely meant well and now regret it but most are simply opportunists who lost and are now trying as best as they can to save their sorry arses.

I wish I COULD respond to him on Twitter! But I have been locked out for a year now. I've appealed over & over, no response. It gets me so mad. I am missing out on so much.

Don't worry. Nobody else can respond to Adams either, because he already deleted that tweet.

Twitter just put me back on unexpectedly after 2.3 years of being locked out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ha, it figures he'd do that. But I'm glad you are back in!

He says finger-pointing should stop while finger-pointing at even more people than you are...

He’s worse than most. Zero insight. Constantly posting pictures of himself wearing an N95 on planes with a beard. An IQ that’s low enough to think that is some kind of virtue signaling shows that there is no possible benefit to interacting with him. I guess I still find it annoying that the good looking affirmative action doc gets to be surgeon general 🤷‍♂️

Blame-shifting. False equivalence. A few other terms for that. All designed to absolve oneself of guilt, collectivization of guilt is so much more palatable than looking into the mirror and assigning guilt to the reflection looking back at oneself.
