33. Sick people need treatment.

If it is available.

But I resent the reference to 'orc'.

As a member of the Orc Tribe, I can categorically say that the average Orc is smarter, better looking and generally in favor of vaccinations when compared to anti-vaxxers.

Anyhow, anti-vaxxers are a group of their own.
Any comparison to any other group is false equivalence.

Not diabetics, not alcoholics. So noted. But can I still compare them to orcs? Bucky Sep 2021 #1
