Nationally, a study by Yale researchers determined that “the excess [COVID] death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters.”
They are literally being deceived to death.

What do you think we should be doing differently right now?
No argument from me that COVID infections were terrible for many, many people, and yes, "all or nothing" is a terrible approach to pretty much any choice. I didn't say otherwise
Messaging on masks. Rallying funding for pancoronavirus vaccines and better antivirals that could actually make the new normal something livable. Federal funding for indoor air quality. Directing HHS to revise their rule that surgical masks are good enough for hospitals when we've known since long before the pandemic that they're often not enough for virulent diseases which is exactly the reason N95 exist in the first place. Increased funding for and messaging regarding long COVID, and surely dozens more things.
This is not complicated. An idiot like me can understand it. Demand more of your elected officials.
You absolutely did suggest a false choice and you say you completely support what Biden is doing now. I'm glad people aren't dying in hospitals of it anymore - but now they're withering away under the long term effects and it seems that that's out of sight out of mind for you.
