Bari Weiss on Real Time with Bill Maher — 'I'm done with COVID'

During Omicron's peak, Weiss declared 'I'm done. I'm done with COVID,' arguing cloth masks 'do not do anything,' that vaccine passports were absurd given asymptomatic Omicron spread, and that restrictions would be remembered by the younger generation 'as a catastrophic moral crime.' The viral clip crystallized the COVID-fatigue position among heterodox media figures; critics (e.g., S.E. Cupp) called the remarks data-free at a moment of roughly 2,200 U.S. deaths per day.
