This declaration was released by a libertarian think tank and a small group of scientists, many of whom have no relevant experience and all of whom have their own particular barrows to push.@DJC Unfortunately, we like to think scientists and doctors are empathic and heavily invested in the social good, but like any sector of society you can find some portion on a spectrum who prefer self over self-sacrifice. A percentage will always prefer strategies to preserve wealth and privilege over welfare, and fundamentally that is what GBD and others argue, the death of the downtrodden is a necessary sacrifice society must make to ensure the wealthy stay free and privileged. 1%ers, like so many other 1%ers.
You cannot logically debate with them, because they see the world selfishly, their actions belie the meaning of their words.
This is why they also commonly protest masks, not because they can't see the good it does for others, but because they can't bear the inconvenience it does to themselves.
