established. it's safe and effective. it's just a swab in your nose. it's not a shot in your arm. it's not some new thing that someone's making you get. in fact, if you test often enough, you can even keep people relatively safe without the vaccine. that's why the biden administration has given employees a kind of either/or choice. so why knock over the testing display? the answer is the rage you see on display here is omnidirectional. that rage, the emotional core of that has fed this fire from the beginning. it's been directed at all sorts of targets. right now it just happens to be vaccines or the vaccine mandates. but when you're knocking over the covid testing tents what you are saying is stop talking about covid, stop reminding us this thing is real and dangerous and we have to do something about it, don't want to hear it, shut up, shut up, shut up. and that's been the through line for so much of the messaging and disinformation coming particularly from the right wing. remember, this was donald trump's original sin on covid.
