    I used to agree with that. But then Covid happened and I listened to people on the radio call in saying “we gotta let a few old people go to save the exonomy.” As though human life was an acceptable cost.

    I genuinely thought people at least were ignorant to the death tole to then but I was mistaken. It got so bad the host cut off calls.

    The vaccine then came out and I watched millions shun it, despite being shown to be safe and effective. Sure, some folks thought they were dangerous (disinformation and all) but that radio show told me, some people want the world to burn.

    There are people who saw devastation and don’t get vaccinated because it’s an acceptable loss.
