Leana Wen Throws Biden Admin Under the Bus Over Their Handling of Covid and Wanting to ‘Contain the Virus in Perpetuity’

WEN Yeah I mean ░░░░░░░░ re right that hypocrisy ░░░░░░░░ lands well right which ░░░░░░░░ probably the reason why ░░░░░░░░ of the politicians who ░░░░░░░░ seen to be having ░░░░░░░░ or going to dinners ░░░░░░░░ the same time that ░░░░░░░░ were telling people not ░░░░░░░░ do it that really ░░░░░░░░ understandably angered a lot ░░░░░░░░ people I think something ░░░░░░░░ that I wish that ░░░░░░░░ health experts in the ░░░░░░░░ Administration did but for ░░░░░░░░ of reasons they were ░░░░░░░░ able to but and ░░░░░░░░ m not sure in ░░░░░░░░ how exactly they would ░░░░░░░░ done it but the ░░░░░░░░ miss in this c ░░░░░░░░ the very biggest miss ░░░░░░░░ that there was no ░░░░░░░░ that it was LONGWELL ░░░░░░░░ declared it over WEN ░░░░░░░░ LONGWELL Like the Cold ░░░░░░░░ WEN Yeah right That ░░░░░░░░ I mean okay so ░░░░░░░░ public health there is ░░░░░░░░ going to be a ░░░░░░░░ between individual liberties and ░░░░░░░░ s best for the ░░░░░░░░ That s just inherent ░░░░░░░░ public health And early ░░░░░░░░ in the pandemic there ░░░░░░░░ many reasons I think ░░░░░░░░ there was a collective ░░░░░░░░ we need to have ░░░░░░░░ Maybe in some places ░░░░░░░░ need to have mask ░░░░░░░░ or we need to ░░░░░░░░ sure that we do ░░░░░░░░ possible to get people ░░░░░░░░ vaccine I mean it ░░░░░░░░ maybe understandable at that ░░░░░░░░ why those precautions were ░░░░░░░░ But we need to ░░░░░░░░ those precautions as extraordinary ░░░░░░░░ they are really you ░░░░░░░░ maybe if not once ░░░░░░░░ a lifetime once in ░░░░░░░░ blue moon and only ░░░░░░░░ exceptional circumstances which means ░░░░░░░░ they need to be ░░░░░░░░ as soon as possible ░░░░░░░░ in the ideal circumstance ░░░░░░░░ when there is no ░░░░░░░░ That will never happen ░░░░░░░░ when the danger is ░░░░░░░░ low and the endpoint ░░░░░░░░ to be defined maybe ░░░░░░░░ endpoint is We re ░░░░░░░░ longer concerned about overwhelming ░░░░░░░░ or maybe it is ░░░░░░░░ soon as we have ░░░░░░░░ vaccine that most people ░░░░░░░░ take in order to ░░░░░░░░ or that most will ░░░░░░░░ access to a vaccine ░░░░░░░░ they can take in ░░░░░░░░ to protect themselves Whatever ░░░░░░░░ is that endpoint has ░░░░░░░░ be there or else ░░░░░░░░ begin to think exactly ░░░░░░░░ that this is government ░░░░░░░░ that personal liberties don ░░░░░░░░ matter that it is ░░░░░░░░ it is somebody else ░░░░░░░░ s deciding I think ░░░░░░░░ problem though is that ░░░░░░░░ was a substantial part ░░░░░░░░ the Democratic base of ░░░░░░░░ supporters of people who ░░░░░░░░ that we have to ░░░░░░░░ everything possible to contain ░░░░░░░░ virus in perpetuity essentially ░░░░░░░░ they would not have ░░░░░░░░ happy with removing those ░░░░░░░░ quickly And I saw ░░░░░░░░ for myself I mean ░░░░░░░░ was a strong proponent ░░░░░░░░ mitigation measures early on ░░░░░░░░ then I also thought ░░░░░░░░ at a certain point ░░░░░░░░ have to let people ░░░░░░░░ on with their lights ░░░░░░░░ have to let schools ░░░░░░░░ on we have to ░░░░░░░░ people socialize and so ░░░░░░░░ And the same people ░░░░░░░░ had before been right ░░░░░░░░ with me and encouraging ░░░░░░░░ been part of this ░░░░░░░░ I thought was part ░░░░░░░░ this movement for something ░░░░░░░░ common sense in the ░░░░░░░░ of a once in ░░░░░░░░ lifetime pandemic the same ░░░░░░░░ were very quick to ░░░░░░░░ on me and to ░░░░░░░░ on other experts whom ░░░░░░░░ were saying We have ░░░░░░░░ reached past this point ░░░░░░░░ we need to move ░░░░░░░░ And then I think ░░░░░░░░ a result the Biden ░░░░░░░░ and health officials in ░░░░░░░░ administration did not want ░░░░░░░░ anger this contingent and ░░░░░░░░ really did not have ░░░░░░░░ end to the pandemic ░░░░░░░░ I think that was ░░░░░░░░ huge missed opportunity and ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ very angry and maybe ░░░░░░░░ so They attribute it ░░░░░░░░ everything that happened in ░░░░░░░░ pandemic but actually I ░░░░░░░░ it s not everything ░░░░░░░░ think it s the ░░░░░░░░ couple of years if ░░░░░░░░ will, that were unnecessary.”
