View submission: Why is focused protection/The Great Barrington Declaration so controversial?
I agree . I think the younger crowd pretending they cared about the elderly was partially motivated by the desire to weaponize this for political purposes.
However, this wasn’t the only reason. Millions of young people genuinely felt they were going to be hospitalized or die.
So after these so called caring people mocked the elderly initially, they became scared for their own lives.
It was a mix of politics and genuine fear. None of it had anything to do with genuine empathy for the elderly. Most redditors don’t even know if their own grandmas are alive or not.
There's nothing here!
