To say nothing about the costs of globally increased hunger, unrest, depression, deaths of despair, neglected+abused children, and on and on - that billions of people in the world will continue to pay for years to come in order to try to save at most a couple million lives of people with mostly significant pre-existing conditions and of advanced years that were mostly "on their way out".

Why not forget about the future and younger generation - they don't matter - we need to save the people that are going to die soon anyway at _all costs_! \s

Covid sucks but for most of the population it is now just an inconvenience to mitigate it. We don’t need to do big lockdowns anymore. I’m ok to take a vaccine or wear a mask indoors to save ten million lives.

I think you protest too much about simply wearing a mask or getting a shot.
