    You know, I’d agree with you if it wasn’t for the people who were literally in the hospital dying of COVID yelling how it’s fake news right up until they drowned in their own goo.

    That seriously shook my opinion that a human could typically at least be counted on to do the right thing when they were going to die if they didn’t.
