Other than it being a fallacy of appealing to emotion, I believe is both morally wrong to appropriate tragic deaths and it adds to the already emotional irrationality of the cesspool of stupidity that exists in the US regarding Covid, vaccines and masks. I don't believe any of these reason elevate the conversation. The problem I see though isn't emotional irrationality but just a dispassionate reaction to what's going on i.e. downplaying the significance of the deaths. I've heard many people since March talking about how Covid is "just a poopy cold" or that it kills less people than the flu, which totally misses the point. I see emotionality being a very good tool to rouse people from their complacence even if it rents headspace by appealing to other tragedy's to get the job done.
Just my two cents.

As far as I'm concerned, if a death can be traced back to any event where the organisers ignored the safety protocols put in place or suggested, the organisers should be charged with manslaughter.
This includes presidents, campaign organisers, rally organisers, church leaders, or fucking inbred hillbillies at gun rallies.

Their constitution (which may as well be a bible verse for all the many interpretations of it) will protect every freedom™ loving American from having their god given rights trampled on.

Trump doesn't listen to anyone who doesn't agree with his preconceived notions. Including medical professionals.
A sociopath like that is extremely dangerous to have with nuke codes.
I like what he's instigated by exposing the CCP, but not a lot else.
