Lots of R talking points about how pandemic policies were completely wrong, and some have even gone as far to say they made everything worse. Pointing out that the policies didn't do what the lawmakers said they would, and that as a result, the economy and people died. It's a convenient talking point and one that resembles the arguments that blame Obama for the 2009 losses from the Great Recession.

Where is the definitive proof that they didn't work. Show me the scientific studies that prove they were a waste? The right answer is you can't. Not scientifically. R's don't really care about the scientific method in the world of 'my feelings are strong and therefore correct.' So as long as they believe that things would have been different it's good enough to argue in the court of public opinion.

We have plenty of studies prior to the implementation that show the projections of what could have happened, and then we have the data to show what did happen. We can take the data that we after after the fact, and apply it to the models from before to get a best guess, but even that is a bridge, far, far too far for the right. Instead, we have the brilliant scientist Joe Rogan simply saying...Vote Republican.
