This isn't attacking a scapegoat, this is a false comparison of two separate issues, a.k.a. a "whataboutism".
It's like when a kid says they're not hungry and don't want to finish their plate and a parent says that there are starving children in africa. The new information doesn't address the issue, instead it adds a burden of guilt on top of the original problem.

Firing nurses is going to be multiplicatively more devastating than the marginal returns of vaccinating more people (hint most the population should be immune by now as long as those vaccines hold). All recent actions seem insincere and politically vengeful. edit. A post of mine above is flagged for stating that we should stop firing immune nurses. Is there something controversial about that statement?
- BizarroLand 5y agoIt's a completely different conversation. It may have contributed to the current climate but it is not the current topic of debate.
