1. I would have guessed that the CDC would've required states to cooperate

But then, who would've guessed thed would retract mask recommendation or shortened isolation time for infected persons?

2. I listen to him whenever he's on and it sends me over the edge knowing what he's up against

The only eventual solution for this, as he said (last video) is for people to be vaccinated. He said we're so fortunate to have more than one effective vaccine, but "so many people who could be protected who choose for a variety of reasons not to be vaccinated." The only solution "for us as a nation" is "communal responsibility."

3. I hate being interdependent upon maskholes

But that's life.

4. I took his point to mean that the reason we're in such rough shape now is the unvaccinated

It's his job to address this once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, but millions of Americans refuse to do what's essential to fight it, so that's why it continues to spread and produce variants - and more and more people are dying.
