BROOKFIELD — The vice chairman of Carroll County’s legislative delegation is blaming fellow Republicans for creating an atmosphere of “toxic peer pressure” that led to the Speaker of the House Dick Hinch’s death on Wednesday.
Rep. Bill Marsh (R-Brookfield) took to Twitter on Thursday in the wake of a news release from the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office that said an autopsy showed Hinch, 71, of Merrimack died of COVID-19.

So Mr. Marsh, all the people who have followed every guideline and worn masks yet still died....who killed them?
It amazes me that when deniers hear about someone who did not take precautions getting ill and/or dying, they still deny precautions saying that some get sick and/or die even with precautions. That's how contagious this is. More reason to take the precautions. Should firefighters stop wearing protective equipment because even though they use it, some of them will still die when fighting fires. Do you use an umbrella? A condom? Not foolproof, but a whole lot more effective than no protection at all. Logic, common sense, common courtesy. Less selfish, more proactive. Your "freedoms" do not include the ability to hurt others with your actions.
