for cancers and other serious chronic disease during the peak of COVID-19 that persists to this day. Of course their other arguments are excellent (more virulent variants in 2021, the obvious long period required for vaccines to reach a significant percentage of recipients and then for immunity to develop and be maintained, the lifting of many isolation restrictions and thus increase in exposure, and on and on.

It is one of the saddest aspects of this part of my life that science and medicine and those who participate in delivering healthcare or implementing public health precautions have been so demonized and subjected to constant media and societal lies. These are among those whose efforts came at the expense of personal lives and their own families--responding as they had always done to a situation that was clearly life and death emergency.

May KARMA catch up with all who willfully spread these lies and refused to listen to any but those promulgating and spreading their own conspiracies.
