These are socially destructive. Yet in refusing proven safe (if sometimes inconvenient) countermeasures, a large group are in fact dismissing facts. In doing so, they are making all the fallout that much more prolonged while railing against that very thing.
Debating whether we're counting deaths right is just... I don't even have the words.
