A crisis manufactured by govts. Lockdowns do way more harm than good. fordnation

Several in my immediate family are 'high medical needs' individuals. Our family doctor is now on stress leave and we have been left looking for a replacement. It's very hard not to blame and be angry with the vaccine hesitant people who are responsible for the back-log :(
