Herd immunity was always the way to go, all these lockdowns did was to completely destroy our economy. Prices are soaring, people are committing suicides due to poverty. These dirty fearmongers ruined it all.
Nah. I correctly identified the bottom line: Death count.
It's the classic "trolley problem" of philosophy: There's a train that can't be stopped and two paths it can take. One path has one person in the way and the other has five. It's not a pretty situation but you flip the switch so that it only hits one.
The vaccine is rolling out sooner than expected and soon this will all be over, with less having died than had we not taken the precautions we did. I chose and choose the path with less death.
Because COVID-19 was new, didn't yet have a vaccine, was contagious (unlike cancer and heart attacks), yet had an end in sight (again unlike cancer, heart attacks, and so many other things).
It made and makes sense to hinder it spreading as much as possible until people are vaccinated for it as frequently as they are for the flu.
to want to punch people who complain when others arent wearing a mask?

The bottom line is that more people haven't died from shutting down than have from the rona.

actually the bottom line is that the economy is completely wrecked and people will spiral into poverty and continue to suffer and die.

Oh it already has and will continue to unless eradicated, but my vaccines will keep up just like they do with the flu. Science is a nifty thing.

Utter rubbish. People die all the time, from heart attacks, from cancer, from infections, why is only covid being celebrated?
