Yes the only problem with how that all went was he survived. Would have been difficult to paint him as a martyr. Self inflicted buffoonery.

I wanted him to survive it, but be as sick as I was, my patients were, and some of my family was. I wanted it to change him, change his mind.

Me too. There's a few dead in there as well, but we'll not worry about what they might have said.

Yeah those old age homes that actively packed in sick people and aerosolized their breath to pump throughout the rest of the buildings, they were hit pretty hard. But let's pretend that this happened because some people didn't get a vaccine that didn't stop you from spreading the virus...

Glad everyone you know made it. I know a couple people who didn’t and even more people who know someone further along the anecdote trail who didn’t.

Yep and I know people who know people who have died of the flu. Death is awful, but so is allowing authoritarianism to thrive and truth to be labeled as dangerous violent misinformation that must not be allowed to be uttered in public.
