How many lies do you have to swallow to understand that Biden is a serial liar who cannot be honest about anything he does. When your whole life is nothing but stealing ideas from people more gifted than yourself....like Biden....you have to do alot of lying to cover up your shortcomings or your nefarious actions.So keeping some of this treatment for the states who did everything right and still have some level of hospitalizations is wrong? I don't see how a more democratic distribution of the MCA's is "punishing" red states. Giving MCA's to the states who refused to mitigate their case numbers is rewarding the red states for failing to properly deal with the pandemic and punishing the blue states who did the right thing, by depriving them of MCA's.
Even worse, it will encourage them continue down this wrong headed track instead of masking and vaxxing as they should. If ANYTHING, they should get zero MCA's until the change their practices, in my books. That's not "punishing" them, it's giving them incentive to do the right thing.
