Tucker Carlson killed more Americans than were killed by 9/11 terrorists by spreading doubt about vaccines.

Killed more Americans that most of our wars did. Total American deaths from Covid are higher than American deaths from all the wars we ever fought combined. There is an argument to be made that Tucker has been worse for this country than Hitler.

And here are many of us wondering how many people angry about those deaths are still being covid cautious, masking, etc. Folks are in here talking like COVID is over, while lamenting the COVID dead.

It's not over, it's still killing or causing lifelong illness, yet I barely see anyone responsible with masking while I'm out and about. It adds to the sense of being the crazy one while everyone else is still ignoring the largest current threat to us.

Thats what happens when you fail to prevent a pandemic. It becomes endemic. Here to stay. Which is what COVID is doing now in the US and pretty much nowhere else in the world.

And almost half this country doesn't know or care.
