Three years ago, you probably only heard skepticism of the COVID regime on this show.

Maybe a handful of others, maybe from your crazy conservative uncle. Within the last year or so,

you may have heard COVID skepticism from your center right or maybe even center left friends.

Now you are hearing it during the opening monologue on Saturday Night Live.

This country seems so divided, beautiful, ugly, black, white, blue, red.

I love everybody. Maybe because I'm a redneck hippie.

The enforced to-do drugs? I do that voluntarily all day long. Anyway,

my favorite part of Woody Harrelson's bit, which is broadly this long drug joke,

but within it is this brutal joke about how COVID was just completely insane and bogus.

My favorite part was the audience reaction. Because later on they left, but in that little COVID bit,

they're almost totally silent. Liberal New Yorkers were trained for three years to take COVID super

so-called conspiracy theorists were right all along. That fact is so obvious that they are now joking

about it on Saturday Night Live. The ruling elite screwed up our lives over nothing.

And in the audience's defense, it's tough to accept that something we believe to be so serious
