[ExI] Got the jab?

[Will Steinberg]

It's a strange incidental detail to mention especially when you wouldn't be
saying anything if the dude was white, and you said it in the context of
the covid thing which people were blaming on Asian people in general, and
you said it in the context of a bunch of other fox-esque babble.

I don't believe your response, I think you are lying.  I know you are a
smart person and I think you're smart enough that you know what words you
choose when you choose them.  And it would be an intellectual disrespect to
you if I chose not to call you out if I thought you were being
disingenuous, which I do, so yeah.
