[h=1]San Francisco: Drug Overdoses Have Killed Four Times More People Than COVID[/h]Yet government still hands out free needles.


[FONT=&quot]Official figures out of San Francisco show that drug overdoses have killed almost four times more people than COVID-19 this year, and yet the government continues to hand out free needles to addicts.

[FONT=&quot]“A record 621 people died of drug overdoses in San Francisco so far this year, a staggering number that far outpaces the 173 deaths from COVID-19 the city has seen thus far,” reports the San Francisco Chronicle.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“Many people overdosed in low-income apartment buildings and in city-funded hotel rooms for the homeless. Others died on sidewalks, in alleyways and parks around the city.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Despite the deaths, the government continues to hand out some 5.8 million free syringes a year to drug users.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It also appears as though lockdowns have exacerbated illegal drug use throughout the state of California.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“Other areas of the state have seen a spike in drug use and overdoses amid lockdowns, including in Los Angeles County,” reports the Washington Examiner. “In 2013 in the county, fentanyl accounted for 3% of drug-related deaths. At the start of 2020, 42% of drug deaths were fentanyl-related in the area, and that number jumped to 51% when lockdowns were enacted in March.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]San Francisco’s homeless drug user problem is so chronic that in 2019, residents began desperately installing boulders on the side of streets in an effort to prevent camping.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A knock-on effect of the massive increase in the city’s homeless population has been the routine sight of feces on the street.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A 2019 study discovered that each case of poop that has to be cleaned up on the streets of San Francisco costs the taxpayer $32 dollars, with 118,352 recorded reports of human feces since 2011.[/FONT]

Peak whataboutism.

COVID is a highly contagious virus with a high mortality rate among the elderly and at-risk patients. We should take it seriously and attempt to mitigate....

...BUT WHAT ABOUT DRUG OVERDOSES HUR HUR HUR

Fortunately, drug overdoses are not highly contagious. If a drug addict coughs on me I won't overdose from whatever drugs they're on.

Seriously fucking done with all these false-equivalencies. You're better than this rolltide. At least, I thought you were.
