So, I go down to the local dialysis center, and empty a 30 round magazine from my M1 Carbine into the patients. I reload and empty another magazine. End result - 10 deaths, and multiple injuries.
I’m arrested and hauled before a judge. The verdict is, among other things, multiple counts of 1st degree murder.
I tell the judge that, since they were all on dialysis, they were all going to die anyway, and it wasn’t me that killed them, it was the co-morbidities.
So, my question is, will I be indicted for murder?
You are trying logic in a world where logic does not exist.
These are the same people who believe that “influenza” is a cause of death listed on death certificates. (It is not.)
These are the people who cannot fathom how death count are historically figured in a pandemic/epidemic. (Hint: They won’t know for a couple of years until they can review ALL of the causes and counts of deaths in an area, over previous periods.)
All “epidemics” or “pandemics” count their deaths as the number of deaths over what would be expected during the same period, adjusted for population changes.
In EVERY epidemic or pandemic, the weak and vulnerable die. They die because they are weak and vulnerable.
The question is whether or not they would be dead today if the epidemic or pandemic had not infected them.
But, fifteen minutes of reading is too difficult for some of these people. They do not understand research. They do not understand critical thinking. And they do not take the time to explore “how” stuff is done.
Instead, they use their fifth grade math and try to sound smart and clever, using “common sense.”
That is the problem when you are comparing research information with American Legion Hall Bar information.
