(4,662 posts)... Are to blame for others fears. How did you get that from my post? Vinson's decision to fly was an admin decision, irrespective of her infection.
But our government and people in health care admin ARE responsible for how their actions are viewed by the public. They need to pay more attention to how their conduct can affect public fears and concerns. That's part of their job. If people lose confidence in them, the likelihood of irrational panic grows exponentially.
And I'd wager that the correlation between republican policies and these perceived failures is, for the most part, understood only by people who are paying attention. And I suspect people who are paying attention already vote democratic. You're counting on the sermon resonating with the choir.
