"99% defeatable sounds great. It's also completely meaningless if hospitals can't handle the other 1%."
It's completely meaningFUL to those helped.
Just as coercion is meaningful harm to those who lose their jobs, businesses, who are prevented from visiting sick loved ones, who are denied their right to worship at church, who are shut out of public forums simply for having an opinion not in line with the rich and powerful elites.
Political leaders are responsible for their decisions and they are responsible to act within the law even during a pandemic.
Which with very few exceptions they did.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"
Not a very apt reference in light of how well the legal system performed. What mistakes it made were hardly fatal.
Again, bull***** Among the victims the media ignores are all the transplant patients whose operations were pushed back more than a year because the hospital reserved
over 90% of surgical facilities for COVID patients, and laying off nurses and surgeons along the way.
Those victims also include my brother, who is paralyzed and suffering from Parkinson's, whose quality of life absolutely is affected by contact with friends and family, but some ******** in Austin decided even family, even wearing PPE like masks, gloves and gowns, could not be permitted to visit residents in assisted living like my brother William.
I visited William for the first time in over a year last month. The cost of the state's bureaucracy, which helped absolutely no one, may have reduced his life expectancy by a couple years, according to his doctor, and certainly impaired his quality of life.
My wife works as a nurse, and tells me how people suffering from heart conditions, Dementia, Diabetes, and other age-related ailments are
denied or delayed important treatment because politicians and unelected *******s in the CDC create rules which put their suffering behind resources reserved for people who, in the main, do not suffer the same risk of death or permanent harm.
Go ahead and argue all you want, Sam. You play with words, while I see the cost of these games in the lives of real people.
To you it's a debate. To me it's an outrage.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
