> Don't forget the gaslighting "100k people dead is doing a good job" BS.

It always looked bad and looks worse the closer 100k becomes. It can’t be too long before some measures will say it has been exceeded. Then what will the claim be?

Goalposts can be moved - in fact, hasn't that happened before? Next claim will be 150k, then 300k. It will never be enough to actually do anything until/unless Prince Prospero or his castle gets sick.
