WWII US deaths, according to the Department of Veteran Affairs, is 405,399. We blew past that number months ago. As I read in the history books, there were some sacrifices of freedom involved in fighting WWII. Some may even say that their freedoms were limited in the struggle, against their wills. People who refused to fight were forced into service or imprisoned.
The scientific facts are clear, with zero evidence to the contrary: COVID is a terrible threat. The paths forward are clear, too. In a moral and just world, those "conscientious objectors" would either seal themselves up at home until this is all over, their form of service, or go to prison and be shunned for the rest of their lives.
