That's what they are saying, and that's what's been said during this entire pandemic. I remember in 2020 when a Texas Lt. Gov official mentioned letting old folks die for the sake of the US economy[1]. The whole "let them die and shrug shoulders" theme throughout this pandemic leads into some concerning overtones, but not surprising =(

It's consistent with our approach to children dying of malnutrition and simple (to us) ailments around the world. It is true that "That's different!", but when one aggressively plays the ~selfishness card one should also accept when it is played back imho.
