in other words, this suffering is manmade, from the top all the way to the bottom. there's no need for a conspiracy theory or wondering abt the wuhan lab, which feel like intentional distractions at this point, when the answers are right in front of us.— Wendi Muse (@MuseWendi) May 29, 2021
When I worked as an EMT and a medic and a nurse for the US government, if one patient died under my charge due to my negligence I'd be in a brig for decades. They've killed 594k minus the normal expected deaths from the virus existing in the country. If a nurse or an EMT or a doctor had any hand in causing 594k~ deaths, or hell let's just round it down to 100k to be very charitable, would you say their punishment under any legal system would be severe?
That valid scientific opinion is the result of trying to preserve their own careers regardless of the science at every stage of the pandemic. At least by my standard they get a formal trial instead of just putting them in a stadium surrounded by the families of COVID victims. That's preferable, pure democracy, but I want a legal precedent for negligent mass murder like the Nuremburg trial set for intentional mass murder.
the people who should be shot are in the presidential administrations & state governorships.... the people rubber stamping their decisions on pain of firing are just cowards
And if those cowards don't face consequences, what encouragement do they have to ever stand up to the state and federal officials actively encouraging people to downplay the pandemic? If nearly 600k dead due to their cowardice carries no price and protects their pension, then why would they do their jobs better next time? The legal, moral, and professional bar is now set at their COVID response and all of those cowards are going to be in higher positions when the next pandemic comes for you. They'll just be cowards we enabled.
Pain of firing versus pain of X hundred thousand people drowning in their own blood. Tell me which is more painful and I'll tell you if you're wrong.
your expectation is that a gaggle of fed & state employees would throw away job security, pensions, benefits, etc. and get blacklisted from government employment for no material effect. don't get me wrong, i'd respect them a fucking lot and if they were really loud about it they might've shifted public opinion a bit, but they weren't going to save lives.
in the revolution we'll make no excuses for the terror but i don't feel like punishing the structurally powerless and craven while the rotten edifice still stands
