An infectious disease is clearly a special case here. Even if hundreds of numskulls with a gun accidentally shot themselves, it wouldn't come close to putting the strain on our hospitals that covid has, and it has no potential to spread the condition of "too stupid to own a gun". We are very fortunate that covid has a relatively low mortality rate. If we were dealing with something like Ebola and it was airborne, then it would have the potential to do really significant damage to the population without some severe protocols. I keep wondering what it would take to get antivaxxers to understand. Sure, covid isn't killing millions in the US, but I don't consider 600,000 a small number. And chances are that's an underreported number. For a country that's obsessed with banning abortion because it kills unborn babies, this attitude regarding covid is absolutely ridiculous. A death is a death.
Why is it so?
