Then I made this tweet, aimed not at Haxton, but at idiots who think we are still in covid crisis:

This tweet went semi-viral -- but not in a way I'd ever want. It somehow spread around to far-left covid masking/vaxxing fanatics, and they've been angrily attacking me for days.
It currently has 168,000 views in just 3 days.
If you look at the responses, you'll see some of the most delusional/fearful/crazy people ever. Some of them revolve their entire identities around masking and covid. Some even have "mask" and "vax" in their screen names.
Among the idiotic claims being screamed at me:
- My tweet is dangerous and is killing people
- The current Omicron variants are actually worse than original and Delta
- Long covid has disabled 30% of the population, and soon no one will be able to work
- We could be totally past covid if everyone had just masked for a few months in 2020
- Covid ruins your entire immune system, and everyone is walking around now with severely reduced immunity
- My tweet is indicative that I don't care about old people and have no issue with killing them
- The only responsible way to go is permanent N95 mask mandates
- Omicron is totally killing lots of young people and completely disabling many others, and it's a Biden Administration conspiracy to cover it up
These are all serious points being argued at me. None of them are trolling or fucking with me.
I thought some of these anti-vaxx fanatics were crazy, but they have nothing on the left-wing covid fearmonger crowd.
If you attempt to argue with them, they post bullshit (or outdated) "studies" to prove their point, but if you post any data back to them, they claim it was "rigged by the CDC".
One of their favorite tricks is to post "proof" from 2021 or early 2022. When I point out that these stats/studies were all related to original and Delta covid, and that my post was about Omicon, they freak out and tell me that I'm just making excuses.
SCIENCE!!!
