A question for the @peterdaou (who of course blocked me when I shoved back on his endless attacks on democrats) and @WalkerBragman types of the world.
First, some background: 1.4 million children are going to die next year from health systems collapses, according to the WHO.../1

...this does not include deaths from the measles bomb that WHO is working to stop, which has come about because parents worldwide are not taking their children to get vaccinations out of fear of COVID exposure while going.

...expected to die because of the failures to get a unified international response to COVID. God knows how many will die here, both of COVID directly and from lack of medical resources for other diseases.
Mass death on a scale almost unimagined. Suffering, agony, misery..../4
