If you or one of your loved ones is one of the young, healthy people killed by it, then “what are the numbers” is irrelevant.
Was this taken from a Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence brochure? The wording is eerily similar. If only one life can be saved, then any measure to do so should be taken.
This is a ridiculous statement, it is so broad that it can be applied to anything. One could even use it to justify refusing any sort of vaccine which would be as problematic as the disease being fought. Sure, it can be devestating to lose a loved one but there is no guarantee that any one of use will see the next minute let alone tomorrow. In 33+ years in the EMS field, I've seen more "unfair" deaths than many here and long ago came to the conclusion life ain't fair and death is fickle.
