That appears to be the reasoning of Chris Christie and FOX:
"That put us in a totally different area that allowed it to be politicized and that politicization is just continuing now" he told ABCs "This Week" on Sunday.
President Biden recently announced a new mandate to get more Americans to sign up to take a COVID-19 jab because about 80 million people in the country have refused to voluntarily sign up for the shot. One of the main reasons is that people are skeptical of potential side effects and their effectiveness.

(7,820 posts)But the problem with Just let them die is it doesnt just impact them. It impacts people too young to be vaccinated, who have an actual medical reason why, and it provides a breeding ground for mutations of the virus that vaccines may be less effective against. Yes, it does impact these stupid, selfish people at a far higher rate but their actions make it much harder for us to move past this.

They choose to be stupid.
What they are is cannon fodder for the Republican Party.
Their votes are no longer needed.

(21,727 posts)However... They do not deal in reality and nothing can be said or done to change their minds. No matter what facts are shown to them, no matter how solid the evidence, no matter how many die... They just don't care. They do not accept science or reason or facts, all they hear is the voice of dear leader. If you know a way to convince them I'll be all for it and give it my best effort but until then I see no alternative but to let them kill themselves.
I would prefer not even magats die but with no solution at hand I can only hope they kill as few innocents as possible.
