A scientifically advanced nation with 4% of the world's population produced 20% of the pandemic deaths because of a political environment that denounces science and values personal liberties, often trivial ones, over the lives of others. In such an environment, if the virus was a different type of enemy, a foreign entity, that could be defeated with soldiers, bullets and bombs, people would completely support the war effort. In an equal but alternate political environment, where nurses, doctors, and researchers are seen as soldiers in a war against the virus, refusing to follow pandemic protocol would be the same as kneeling for the national anthem, dodging the draft, or being Hanoi Jane.
OP is obviously no scientist. He should stop pretending to use science to promote political misinformation. Respect the troops.
