They Got Covid Wrong—Now They Want to Lead Again

The post–October 7 wave of antisemitism has come disproportionately from two familiar Covid-era factions:

(1) The Woke Left — They agitated for lockdowns, mandates, and censorship from the start. And they still believe it all. They never admitted error, never questioned the wreckage they helped cause. Their worldview—hostile to the West, to free markets, to Israel—remains intact and unapologetic.

(2) The Woke Right — They also pushed lockdowns and mandates early on. Then, months later, they pivoted: rebranded themselves as liberty warriors, and projected all the blame upward—onto a sinister, top-down cabal. A cabal that, predictably, they now imagine is Jewish.

Both camps failed miserably and visibly during Covid. Their reputations should be in shreds. That matters. Because people who got everything wrong last time—loudly, destructively, self-righteously—do not get to speak with moral authority now.
