I think it's gotten to be common to suggest we over-reacted to #COVID19. It's crazy to think anyone would claim we over-reacted to an infectious pandemic virus that claimed at least 7 million lives (and probably many more, given excess death data).

But one thing I think people really miss is that all those precautions in 2020 helped to ensure billions of people avoided their first infection until after they had the increased protection of vaccines. Caution in 2020 saved many, many lives.

“I do not believe that infectious disease is an enormous threat to human health,” Kennedy added. The presidential hopeful stated that if he assumed office, he would target medical journals and redirect funding grants away from epidemiology.

It cannot be overstated how dangerous this guy would be to America, and the world if he was allowed to occupy the White House. He's a true monster.
