Well.. no. It was a government RECOMMENDED death at the most.
In fact, it's even more stupid. Sweden for example were so deadly afraid of anti-vaxxers that they threw away tens of thousands of doses of AstraZenecas vaccine. The one with 2 deaths per million. At the time it was estimated at 5 per million. Sweden has a population of 10 million. So if we instantly vaccinated the entire population we would see 2 deaths. While this decision to throw away doses was done we lost tens per day. And the government didn't allow those who understood math to take this if they wanted. No. They mandated the deaths. THOSE deaths WERE mandated. For real.
- modo_mario 4mo agoOh I know but disease is an abstract entity one can't directly address with scorn, to be held liable for direct action, etc. The government is and inaction draws less attention.
- boxed 4mo agoOk? But there was no moral outrage from anyone except me when the Swedish government unilaterally made this medical decision that statistically killed a lot of people. So obviously that idea that the government is held liable isn't really true either.
