Hey Jim -- I'm sorry if my choice of words undercut my point, when of course it was meant to emphasize it. That is, it was meant to reflect the mindset of those who chose not to respond to the helath crisis. I think that the context was clear, but if anyone was offended, I certainly apologize for that, too. I find it odd that although I wrote the phrase "ni**ers and fags," you only found one of the words vulgar!
