As one who lost a loved one before they had the opportunity at the vaccine...I have so many questions of elected officials...and none have answered any of them.
Such as...
Who failed us? Why were lines of communication not more open? Why hasn't there been accountability?
If the absence of healthcare doesn't kill fast enough, repeat outbreaks will.
infuriating that the invasion greatly helped their cause worldwide even as the actual incursion ground to a halt
But otherwise yes. I think a lot of the anger, strife, and general nastiness we're seeing can be laid at the feet of society's reaction to COVID. We normalized mass death, and worse, we normalized complicity in mass death. That broke something that I hope we can fix.
The median, low info voter: “Millions must die.”
It didn't help that the solution to labor shortfalls was to increase immigration at a time of rampant xenophobia.
"Last month, an average of about 350 people died each week from COVID, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).”
The pandemic is ongoing, please everyone keep wearing accessible PPE, that means **everyone**.
