DEMOCRATS, not COVID, murdered tens of thousands of elderly Americans by knowingly, intentionally putting virus-infected patients in nursing homes.
Biden murdered thousands by lying to them, telling vaccinated people they could not get the virus.
He and Democrats destroyed 60% of all minority-owned small businesses with Un-Constitutional mandates Democrates violated themselves.
------------------
1) That is one Democrat at the very start of the virus.
2) Biden only told the population what was known at the time. As soon as it was realized that vaccinated people could get it, or get it again, doctors and scientists revised their findings.
3) The virus, and inability to keep many businesses open is what destroyed those businesses. Many others adapted, or started doing business from home, or online.
4). The mask and vaccine Mandates are not Unconstitutional.

“The legal question is: Are you violating the rights of an individual, and if so, does the state have a really good reason for doing it?” said George J. Annas, JD, a Boston University School of Public Health professor of health law, ethics, and human rights.
A precedent was set with a nearly 120-year-old Supreme Court case, Annas said. In 1904,
Jacobson v. Massachusetts established the right to require vaccination against
smallpox or face a $5 fine. Similarly, Biden’s proposed mandate would fine employers up to $13,600 per violation.
Most COVID-19
vaccine mandates also come with a choice for individuals: Get vaccinated or get tested, Annas says.
“No one is going to hold you down and get a vaccine,” he says. “Most mandates give you the chance to get tested regularly, [which] would be more of a
pain than getting the shot.”
In general, employers are free to require employees be vaccinated, and schools have been mandating vaccines for
measles and other diseases for years. But Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday issued an executive order that prohibits any business or other entity from requiring COVID-19
vaccinations, which he said he’d withdraw if state lawmakers pass a similar permanent law.
Mask mandates are, in some ways, even easier to impose, Annas said. These requirements allow people to take part in certain activities, such as in-person schooling. Like vaccines, people cannot be forced to comply, but they can be excluded from partaking.
“Mask mandates allow you to be part of doing something. You’re not going to be forced to put on a mask,” Annas said. “But they can say ‘Your child will not come to school without a mask.’”
Legal scholars also say the case for religious exemption is likely not strong enough to win in court. One religious concern that has circulated is that fetal cell lines developed from aborted cells were used to produce the Johnson & Johnson shot. But most leaders from faiths across the board have come out in favor of the vaccine. Pope Francis called getting vaccinated against COVID-19 an “act of love.”
In a 1944 case,
Prince v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that “the right to practice religion freely does not include liberty to expose the community or the child to communicable disease or the latter to ill health or death.”
Vaccines are seen as one of the best ways to stop COVID-19. Learn more about the types of vaccines, including the newly approved Novavax.
