Worked in an ER throughout the pandemic and was one of the few who didn't contract the virus after repeated exposures because we masked and never let the murderous right-wing propaganda stop our blue state precautions. After even blue states were pressured to give up mandatory masks, I got it 9/23,( tho I still masked, most jumped on the " it's over, we're vaxed " train even where we knew better.)
Masks work, vaccines and hand washing work. The unforgivable part of this is that Trump and his minions politicized this and made caring for and protecting ourselves and our communities, a bad thing. Exposing these selfish, stupid people has to continue until everyone is aware. Thanks for a great article.
The only mildly amusing part of that idiocy was how I read stacks and stacks of Facebook pages by anti-vaxxers sneering at COVID in general and vaccines in particular...until they got COVID. According to them, COVID was a fraud, and the vaccines were worse.
Then they wrote frantic Facebook posts from hospital, admitting they were wrong, urging readers to get vaccinated, and begging for "prayer warriors" to save them.
Then came the follow-up post announcing the original poster had died of COVID, thanking everyone for the prayers, and urging people to get those shots....
I just said, "And today's recipient of the Darwin Award is..."

You are quite right.
