The Cosplay of Elite Pride

The COVID vaccines worked. They saved us. They preserved our healthcare system, helped end the pandemic, and advanced our return to normal. 

The vaccines worked in the way Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal worked. The New Deal saved us. It preserved the capitalist system, helped end the Great Depression (with an assist from the death and destruction of World War II), and advanced the country’s postwar return to normal.
