Yes. It is.

Instead say "I don't care. What difference does it make for me how many die?"

No. That would be a lie.

Tell the truth about yourself, 6ix.

I'm always doing that here. Warts and all.

Take your own advice. Liar.

Stop hiding your true motivations behind short declarative sentences such as 'Lies, lies!' or 'Fake News!'

Which motivations are those?

That cannot be correct because 6ixStringJack says the number is zero! He has also said he is not Republican but maybe he is a liar? Can't be sure because 6ix is "innocent until proven guilty" to quote a phrase frequently used by 1kiki to defend Trump's mendacity and incompetency.

Hey TWO, have you noticed how those who jump up and down proclaiming they have a right to, spend a vast amount of time trying to deny others of their right too.

They’ll say I have the right to not wear a mask but the store owner doesn't have the right to require one. Or, I have the right to not take the vaccine, but business do not have the right to require those who frequent their business to have gotten it.

It’s incredible how ignorant they are, don’t you agree?

The newspaper revised a February 2020 story with the original headline "Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus conspiracy theory that was already debunked" as top public health experts have begun taking a more serious look at the origins of the coronavirus.

"Earlier versions of this story and its headline inaccurately characterized comments by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) regarding the origins of the coronavirus. The term 'debunked' and The Post’s use of 'conspiracy theory' have been removed because, then as now, there was no determination about the origins of the virus," reads the Post's correction.

The new headline of the story reads "Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus fringe theory that scientists have disputed."

Reviewing the Evidence: Do Lockdowns Reduce the Spread of COVID-19?

Author Kevin Drum
Published on June 2, 2021 – 3:02 pm

My homework assignment today was to figure out if COVID-19 lockdown restrictions have been effective in reducing COVID-19 cases. I spent some time googling around, and what I discovered is that (a) conservative publications all have charts showing there's no correlation, while (b) academic (Liberal) papers all show a positive correlation. Hmmm.

Haunting lessons from 40 years of fighting AIDS

The first official report that described AIDS was published in 1981, just as President Ronald Reagan settled into office. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) worked tirelessly to elucidate the dimensions of the disease, the White House response was extremely slow, suggesting a profound lack of interest in the fate of the thousands of young, homosexual men. In 1984, Larry Speakes, Reagan’s press secretary, responded to a question about Reagan’s view of AIDS by stating, “I haven’t heard (Reagan) express concern.”

Reagan waited four years into the epidemic – and months after his reelection – to make any public reference to the disease. A senior member of the US Department of Health and Human Services prevented Surgeon General Dr. C Everett Koop from answering any AIDS-related questions at news conferences and he was barred from attending the Executive AIDS Task Force. In 1986, the White House also sought to cut federal funding on AIDS instead of investing in research and developing more programs to confront the problem.

This malign neglect mirrored that of President Donald Trump, who downplayed the severity of Covid-19 and told the American people that “one day … like a miracle it will disappear.” While the White House formed a coronavirus task force, Trump hampered their efforts with tweets and other comments filled with false and misleading information.

When hope vanished that the AIDS epidemic might end quietly, the Reagan team shifted its avoidance strategy. It began to blame foreigners. This approach culminated in a 1987 ban on persons with known HIV infection from entering the United States. It was not lifted until 2009, 22 years later.

The same attempt to distract from the real issue has been tried with Covid-19. In the early days, many sought to blame China – as if establishing a scapegoat would solve anything. (Even though the Biden administration is still reviewing the possibility of a lab leak, there still isn’t conclusive evidence to support that theory.) Later, it became a battle between the states. Last spring, for example, Florida blamed New York for fueling Covid-19 cases. Months later, New York began to point the finger at Florida as a source of the contagion.

The final line of evasion, after Ignoring the problem and pointing fingers fail, is to proclaim that the problem – AIDS, Covid-19 – is wildly overblown or, in the extreme, never existed at all.

This extreme denialism did not overtly take root in the Reagan government though it was – and still is – a core belief of many individuals and even some government leaders. Globally, AIDS denialism has had a tragic impact, causing thousands of deaths because political leaders, particularly former South African President Thabo Mbeki, refused to acknowledge the problem and provided no medical or public health resources.

Similarly, there have been world leaders among extreme minimizers and flat-out deniers whose anti-science attitudes have weakened the public health response to Covid-19 and contributed to their country’s death toll. President Trump’s uncoordinated and at times uncomprehending response seemed to be rooted in his belief that testing, rather than the disease itself, was fueling the epidemic, a form of Covid-19 denialism that undoubtedly contributed to lost American lives.

This type of “hoax-based” thinking has thwarted a broad provision of simple and cheap ways to curb the spread of each virus: for AIDS it was condoms and sex education, for Covid-19 it has been masks, social distancing and now, effective vaccines.

The attitude has also set the stage for our current predicament. It may be impossible to stamp out Covid-19, despite the existence of effective vaccines; similarly, HIV continues to spread despite the fact that effective therapy was introduced nearly 25 years ago. This is not a surprise – pills and shots are never sufficient to stop an infectious disease; people need to know how to prevent transmission and any drugs or vaccines need to be widely accessible. Most importantly, people must be willing to take them.

As we have seen, public health is not just a medical science but rather a societal collision of many things, including epidemiology, superstition, feuds, Grandma’s advice, bad habits, avarice and heart-gripping fear. Clinical work is the easy part. The scientific tangle of viral variants seems a small problem when measured against the difficulties created by a hardened nonbeliever or the cheap assurance of a government official in a hurry.

After a year of debates over mask mandates, lockdowns, and school closures, that mixed evidence might suggest a certain fatalism: Did none of these state policies really matter? Or was the virus going to spread no matter what states did? Was it all for nothing?
