Yes and there's no evidence of human beings existing billions of years ago but there is much evidence of ancient viruses now being freed from the melting ice caps. If we cannot pull together now in the face of increasing Covid and variant death among us, if we as a people cannot think/act of/for the well-being of our fellow human beings then maybe, as a life form, we deserve the unknown consequences of these encroaching threats.
Right to lifers often seem to be pulled into the Covid conversation. I ask you guys this (sorry, couldn't seem to avoid the what-about-ism of my question --- ah well, turnabout is fair play so I hear):
What about the sanctity of life of human beings already born? If you could potentially save a life not your own by getting a vaccination or wearing a mask why wouldn't you?
This is rhetorical of course but I except to at least be pooh-poohed, if not worse, by those who perhaps are deliberately not very introspective so as to not acknowledge their own hypocrisies.
For me the main thrust of pro-choice is not so whether a fertilized egg is a sovereign being but rather an issue of a woman's bodily rights. To me these rights trump those of any living being that might be inside her, and for all intents and purposes she might consider to be an invasive violator of her rights for which she did not consent. If someone says that they don't want to experience the pain and complications of childbirth for whatever reason, that should be the end of the discussion. There is no valid argument against this choice, legal, moral or otherwise.
"I do disagree with Governor DeSantis. Local officials should have control here. I don't want top-down from Washington, D.C. I don't want top-down from a governor's office. Sometimes in cases of national defense, things like that. But if my hospitals are full, vaccination rates are low and the infection rate is going crazy, local officials should be allowed to make those decisions."

"The viral load in Florida is so high right now, there are only two places on the planet where it's higher… It's so high in Florida that I think that if Florida were another country, we would have to consider banning travel from Florida to the United States.”

Interesting opinion from Quora:
The question was "Since Biden had claimed to be more capable of handling coronavirus, why is the number of cases spiraling out of control?"
The graph says it all, but check out the link too.
