As much as President-Elect Biden wants to put all this aside for the sake of unity and peaceful transitions of power, some things such as this cannot be left unpunished. Many in this administration should be tried for crimes against the American people when it is all said and done.

Not much better than committing mass murder. To obtain natural herd immunity, we’ll need multiple millions to die. MILLIONS. This is stooopid. This is criminally lazy.
The callousness of these people is really offensive. They are the death panels and they don’t care about anyone who is affected, impacted, or destroyed.
This is a revealing bit of RW logic: rather than spending the time and money for the government to find a cure, we should just let some people die at no cost or effort to ourselves. And, of course, these conscientious servants of the American people didn’t even do the minimum homework necessary to discover the actual extent or effects of the disease.
If any regular civil service employee were that sloppy in implementing a major initiative on a life-or-death issue, they wouldn’t last five minutes.
“The media and left have help [sic] COVID proliferate,” he wrote. “They want to destroy the nation and people’s lives just to make the President look bad…saving lives is not their aim…winning at all costs.”

So weird…I hear this sort of thing from GOP trumpers so often, the whole “winning at all costs” thing, both anti-Trump (the left is doing it!) and pro-Trump (we must win at all costs!) – out loud, often, in the media, etc. And yet…I never seem to actually hear or see the same thing from the left.
So weird! Maybe the progressives are manipulating my twitter feed to create an algorithmic sense of complecency. Who knows?
It’s not quite as bad as suggesting a “herd immunity” approach to polio. Sure, 20% of survivors* will be crippled for life, but at least the vulnerable will eventually, probably, be protected.
* percentage created the same way as 76.4% of all statistics on the Internet.
