I’m trying hard to have a positive interpretation of your comments here but it really sounds like you’re saying something to the tune of “who cares they are old or fat” as if their lives don’t matter to prove some statistical point about COVID-19.. And that’s ignoring that the vaccine costs basically nothing, and taking it not only prolongs their own lives but also the lives of others with no meaningful downside. It’s like you’re trying to do some sort of cost-benefit analysis, and thinking the vaccines have some sort of gigantic cost, when they don’t.

> Also Cuomo literally sent people infected with coronavirus into care homes.

Funny the Democrats actually impeached one of their own unethical asshole “leader”. Wonder when the Republicans will catch up and show us those family values.

How much does the vaccine cost globally? How much have the lockdowns cost the economies of developing nations?

There is a very strong correlation between GDP and life expectancy, especially in developing nations.

The money would have been better spent improving countries' health systems, so hospitals wouldn't get swamped.

It's absolutely insane the way the world reacted to this virus. I consider it the first global mass hysteria.
