Alright, here’s my election toot…

When you vote this Tuesday please remember that the pandemic response in on the ballot.

The response to the pandemic in the US is the worst public policy failure in our country’s history. Our elected officials, the CDC and others are responsible for this catastrophe.

- More than one million people have died needlessly (nearly all of those deaths were preventable)
- More people died from COVID-19 in the US than in any other country
- Tens of millions of people are too sick to work (causing a worker shortage)
- Misinformation about respirators (N95 masks)
- Hoarding hundreds of millions of N95 masks in the Strategic National Stockpile throughout the pandemic
- Widespread use of respirators would have stopped the epidemic in the US
- Misinforming people about the effectiveness of the vaccines (no, they don’t prevent infection or prevent spread of the virus)
- Unnecessary lockdowns
- Forced vaccinations
- Confusing mask on / mask off recommendations
- Officials’ response to the pandemic caused a ruined economy and skyrocketing inflation

When you vote, please hold incumbent politicians accountable for what they have done to our country.

In particular, the following Senators are on the committee that is responsible for oversight of the CDC and other agencies that caused all of this suffering:

Jerry Moran (KS)
Tim Scott (SC)
Lisa Murkowski (AL)
Rand Paul (KY)
Maggie Hassan (NH)
Patty Murry (WA)

If you live in those states, when you vote this Tuesday please hold these Senators accountable for what they have done to our country. If you live in another state, please vote for the challenger on the ballot and not the incumbent.

I can’t think of anything more consequential and concerning than the needless deaths of more than a million Americans.
