could make an event where they listed people's names, their age and how many are left behind and the emotional and financial suffering they are bearing due to Covid. I know probably could only list first names and other limitations due to privacy but all these folks that are anti-vax or for "free choice, no matter what" act like first, there are not that many deaths really and second, those that get Covid and survive and their families have no collateral damage. Lost wages or whole jobs lost, medical deductibles, events missed or delayed, non Covid patients dying waiting for a bed clogged for weeks by someone unvaccinated,,,the collateral damage is hardly acknowledged but I'll bet staggering to many it hits.
