Midway through 2024, the governing authorities are still blaming inflation and all manner of other social and political and economic woes on a pandemic that the Brandon entity itself said ended in September 2022.

Consider the following exchange between DEI labradoodle Karine Jean-Pierre and a reporter at the May 1 press briefing/propaganda power hour.
Via WhiteHouse.gov (emphasis added):
Q: And from an inflation standpoint, is there any concern that there might be supply disruptions in that area [milk and meat supply] that might lead to higher prices?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, as you know, you know, what — because of the pandemic, there was a supply chain disruption. The President took action — the American Rescue Plan — which only, obviously, Democrats voted for — the President signed — helped deal with supply chain.
There is a — a task force that was created to deal — to make sure that, during the pandemic, that supply chain was dealt with in a way so that we can get out of this pandemic, get our — the economy — get back on our feet with the economy.
Look, this is something we’re going to monitor. I don’t have anything to share on — on the question of inflation. We’re — obviously, we’re going to continue to closely monitor.
(This is a gratuitous side note, and it’s probably hate speech, but let’s take a moment to pity the poor White House transcriptionist in charge of turning Karine’s incoherent babble into intelligible sentences, stretching the use of the em dash to its maximalist conclusion.)
Even if we take the White House’s framing at face value — that supply chain disruptions, which were very real, are still the viable excuse for runaway inflation — the claim is disingenuous that the “pandemic did this” or “the pandemic did that.”
“The pandemic” is an abstract concept with no agency or will or means to do anything; it was government decision-making that caused lockdowns and supply chain destruction.
But “the pandemic” is a very convenient scapegoat for all manner of social and economic ills — especially when it has no designated end-date.
People will sometime take the line of criticism that “the pandemic was a long time ago; let’s talk about the border invasion” — especially, curiously, when anyone criticizes Trump for his continued shilling of the COVID injections and refusal to take responsibility for Operation Warp Speed.
This is not to say the border or any other issue doesn’t deserve attention, but the reason to maintain pressure to deliver justice to the criminals who perpetrated COVID-19 is not just for the sake of justice itself — although that’s reason enough — but because the same cabal of pharma industry biological terrorists and their government tools are at work right now manufacturing brand-new viruses (this time on American soil) that they’ll use to shut down economies and societies worldwide to hold hostage until they roll out brand-new “vaccines.”

If examples aren’t made and corrupt institutions cleaned out now, there is no deterrence for the greatest crime in human history to play itself out all over again.
