I don't doubt conservatives feel like liberals believe in nothing but power, and I'm sure the left has a few marks against it on that count. But I'd appreciate a few examples of them behaving in such a manner as knowingly lying about how deadly a disease is and then having large crowded in door events shortly afterwards[0]. It's easy to manufacture a narative that has the left drinking the blood of babies, but how much support is there for some large scale malicious thing?
> The fact of the matter is, the right was more correct than the left when it comes to Covid; it's mostly a nothingburger unless you're over 70. Even the CDC says so at this point[0].
This is assuming that the only negative outcome of COVID is death, but that isn't the case.
People come out of COVID with long term health complications such as lung scarring which may affect them for the rest of their lives. We don't have good data on the rates of injury in those who recover yet.
Yeah, you know what; the flu has long term health complications as well. Ask me how I know this: I got the flu in 2014 and still have health complications from it -probably will until I eventually drop dead. It's a bummer, but that's life. I also don't demand we shut down civilization and destroy the economic lives and mental health of hundreds of millions to prevent spread of the flu, though it would have been nice if the plague doctor sitting next to me on the airliner didn't sneeze on my eyeball.
The "long term health complications" thing is, until someone comes up with an actual count rather than terror scare stories in trash news, mostly a figment of people's lurid imaginations. Just like the early reports of world-ending infection fatality rates.
To be clear, are you arguing that malfeasance in the highest elected offices in the land is excusable because the oppositions protests aren't 100% peaceful?
