Do another lockdown(when the first cause substantial social problems in society)? He made monoclonal antibody treatments more widely available and advocated for the effectiveness of vaccines. Im unsure what more he could have done. We now have the lowest COVID rate in the country and we did it without having to cause undue damage to our economy,our personal rights, and our ability to make a living. Democrat states have forced people to deal with prolonged business closures, restrictions, unemployment and loss of rights on top of a pandemic. People unable to work because maybe they have a background and their small business-the niche the found in this world- was forcibly shut through non-capitalistic government interfence. Or someone unable to find work for months because their entire industry is banned by the state for not being essential: completely thrown under the bus.

While HIV can spread both through gay and straight sex, gay male sex is statistically much more dangerous in terms of contracting it. But we dont ban gay sex “to slow the spread of HIV” because it is a basic human right to be able to follow our sexual orientation. Similarly, it is a basic human right to be able to work and strict restrictions of several industries interferes with that.
