LOS ANGELES (VINnews) — Leftist Bari Weiss, a Jewish journalist and author, stunned many people when she went on an epic tirade against Covid restrictions. Even more shocking, the crowd she appeared in front of, presumably full of liberals, cheered wildly in agreement.

Appearing on Bill Maher’s television show, Weiss, the former NY Times editor, passionately expressed that she is “done with Covid.”
.
She continued, “I went so hard on COVID. I sprayed the Pringle’s cans that I bought at the grocery store…I thought COVID would be on my clothes. Like, I did it all. I watched Tiger King. I got to the end of Spotify. We all did it, right?
“And then we were told, ‘You get the vaccine. You get the vaccine and you go back to normal.’ And we haven’t gotten back to normal.
“And it’s ridiculous at this point. I know that so many of my liberal and progressive friends are with me on this, and they do not want to say it out loud because they are scared to be called ‘anti-vax’ or to be called ‘science denial’ or to be, you know, smeared as a Trumper.
“I’m sorry. If you believe the science, you will look at the data that we did not have two years ago. And you will find out that cloth masks do not do anything. You will realize that you can show your vaccine passport at a restaurant and still be asymptomatic and carrying Omicron.
“And you will realize, most importantly, that this is going to be remembered by the younger generation as a catastrophic moral crime.
“The city of Flint, Michigan, which is 80 percent, I think, minority students, has just announced indefinite virtual schooling. In the past two years, we’ve seen among young girls a 51 percent increase in self-harm.
“People are killing themselves. They are anxious; they are depressed; they are lonely. That is why we need to end it, more than any inconvenience that it’s been to the rest of us.
“At this point, it’s a pandemic of bureaucracy. It’s a pandemic of bureaucracy. It’s not real anymore.”
“Leftist Bari Weiss”? Sure, she’s probably left of many of the readers here and votes Democrat, but she also left the New York Times and publicly denounced it for being anti-Israel, is stridently anti “woke”, etc. Not much of a leftist by today’s standards.
To call this a rant is potentially insulting to someone who calmly stated and professed very logical and well thought-out ideas.
This isn’t news and Bari Weiss isn’t a leftist.
For the second time, she’s not a leftist! She’s the one forced to leave the NYT and wrote an expose about it in conservative news outlets. Why was this comment removed the first time I posted it?
She’s not a leftist
Please approve my comment. Bari Weiss is not a leftist.
She’s a Centrist, but great reporting anyway.
Wow. Someone actually got it.
Bari Weiss is not a leftist
bari weiss was hired ath the NYT as a voice of the RIGHT! And she publicly left because she felt bullied by her left leaning peers at the NYT… Please get your facts straight.
Thank you it’s about time.
Steven saving lives mean emotionally and socially too
Too little too late. These “leftists” put Biden & Co. in power. Half the country knew it would be a disaster on every front, not just masks. We’re all suffering from their stupidity, not ours.
Wow !!! A Progressive with something working in her head !!!
I think many of you miss the key point. Sure she is not a leftist. But usually the ones who yell these stuff are far right wing fringey type. We are now beginning to see normal people get sick and tired of it too
Her rant about masks is true! The paper masks are useless. This begs the question why we are not being expected to wear high quality N95 masks which certainly do work to prevent infection. Every American should have been given a supply at the beginning of this pandemic. If something doesn’t work you do more not less, Bari
So we were right all along.
Thank you.
They the evil liberals are anti science
Wow the liberals are finally coming to their senses
Did she just turn into a Right-Wing Republican?
She just fell short of saying what she should have stated, as a so-called leftist – to all her leftist comrades – that the entire covid production is in truth, a globalist plot to bring in the new world order, demoralize society, and depopulate the world; Then, she would have said something.
Weiss is anything but leftist. She clearly doesn’t understand science and is misrepresenting facts here.
