Is Avoiding COVID Worth Dying For?

The cancellation of regular medical care during the coronavirus pandemic could yield a “massive wave” of cancer patients. [Breitbart News 5/23/20]

So what? So LONG AS YOU DON’T GET COVID, THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS.

Better to die from cancer than catch COVID. Better to lose all of your liberty, live with 50 percent unemployment and widespread impoverishment, and never leave the house again … JUST SO YOU DON’T GET COVID. What is the central purpose of life? We now know the answer: DON’T CATCH COVID.

And: if preventing another person from getting COVID (with a 99 percent survival rate) means you or I die from cancer … well, the sacrifice was worth it. Self-sacrifice is a good thing, right?

In the Middle Ages, mass waves of insanity gripped entire towns. Today we have a mass wave of insanity gripping the entire world. There are no words.
