False Choices
Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) said it perfectly yesterday: “We are too often presented with a false dichotomy: either saving our economy or saving lives.”
Scott’s statement occurred during the Senate hearing with Dr. Fauci, head of the NIH. The Senator was exactly right. Those who believe that no preventative measures should have been taken are as ignorant as those who believe that re-opening the economy poses a mortal risk to everyone.
