Why are you pro an environment in which your life isn't valued, and so bothered by people who aren't?
Im bothered that this is such a stupid thing to get your dick caught in a blender for. Its as stupid as boycotting a beer company for lgbt support or boycotting Twitter for having Elon as a CEO. Its all childish fugazi anger directed at pointless bullshit
Why do you feel this isn't a worthy issue to care about?
Because its not
Why do you feel like disabled and vulnerable lives aren't worthy?
Good strawman
This decision and our society's response to the pandemic is a demonstration of ableism, the systemic devaluing of disabled and vulnerable lives. This is the entire discussion being had here, if you're unable to grasp it read through again or ask questions.
Dont know if you havent heard but Biden said the pandemic was over in september of 2022. You are about 10 months behind.
