I really don't think this is the case. They did many things to keep people home and made testing and the vaccine free. What didnt they do other than convince republicans to not be suicidal?

Filthy is the type that complains about everything yet does literally nothing about it. Have you considered moving to a remote pacific island and living like a castaway? You could move to the rainforest and still complain the tribe elders are keeping all the best cuts of meat

The cognitive dissonance involved to hate everything so much yet still support the very "empire" you hate daily for life is up there

free healthcare would have been pretty good

clear, unified messaging about how dangerous the disease is

putting people over profits. i mean they printed trillions for a stupid pointless, lost war. they could have easily paid people to stay home. the $1200 check we got is a joke

leaving my home, family, civilization, and everything i know seems a bit extreme

yes, i see the usa for the empire of evil that it is. and yes, i live here. but i am such a tiny part of the problem, that blowing up my life to try solve it is a ludicrous idea.

and also, you have no idea how i live my life, or what i do to try make the world a better place

hindsight is 20/20 but the super spreader biker event in north/south dakota should never have happened

republicans held maskless indoor rallies.

democrats urged people to go vote in the primary during the ****ing pandemic.

meatpacking plants were in full swing, spreading covid like crazy

elon musk openly flaunted the law to keep his factories running, and threatened to leave ca if he couldn't continue to have his workers together indoors spreading covid

probably the most obvious, exposing hypocrisy of what bullshit the whole thing is....

billions of people are begging, dying for the vaccine, but usa won't let them get vaccinated because of profits. usa chooses to protect patents for the vaccines rather than get people vaccinated.

These are usually worth watching in full:



At ~45:00 is where the 63 year old host asks why he shouldn't go get a 3rd booster right now if it's made available. Key part of the response is that a booster is a temporary fix, putting more antibodies in your nose that are going to come right back down again. Cellular memory which prevents severe infections was already strong before the booster.

Chasing after preventing a bad cold with a shot every few months is stupid, especially when global vaccine equity is taken into account.

Ultimately they say they feel okay with telling people > 60 to get a booster (this is kinda to placate the host though who has a mini-tantrum against global vaccine equity) as well as the usual immunocompromised groups etc., but definitely not more than that unless and until we get actual data supporting it.

My uncle (dads father) passed a few ago from COVID. In Sri Lanka Most people have only received the first dose. He was denied the second dose despite having pre existing conditions (diabetes, heart issues) because of vaccine shortages. That’s how dire the situation is in most of the world.
That sucks about your uncle I’m sorry. It’s easy to forget how lucky we are in the developed world

Yep, I said it from the beginning of the vaccine requirement for the players, there was ZERO mention of Caesars employees, and at this point it is too late to get two shots (OMG I almost wrote jab and feel like such an idiot)

Nicki Minaj or science? Do your own research, then pick the thing you want to be true.

Edit: looks like she's still running assays and compiling data:

That is not helpful for the pandemic but helpful for our overall gene pool. Idiots.

Do your own research is the new rallying cry for the idiots everywhere.

Within my group of acquaintances, the people wanting to do their own research are those least competent to conduct any type of research.
