You’ve gotta admire the perverse logic behind the “Defeat the Mandates” march in Washington, D.C., this past weekend. For a gaggle of anti-vaccine fanatics, “alternative” public health weirdos, and general pro-COVID right-wingers to hold a massive close-quarters demonstration in the midst of the ongoing Omicron variant surge is, if nothing else, deeply ideologically consistent.
On the other hand, just about everything else about Sunday’s COVID conclave was a sloppy mudpie of a mess.
