The last time we got lovely economic numbers he told the CDC to say covid was over and masking is no longer necessary.

I had my Regeneron treatment Wednesday morning, and while I do feel WAY better physically, the mental fog is real. It feels like I have to really bear down and concentrate for the most basic things. That and I think I could pull out a snot sculpture of my entire sinus system, like those people who pour metal into anthills and dig it out.

the only play he has is some performative bullshit like "we're going to spend $100 million for CDC to do an information campaign about vaccine safety"

So I posted about this almost exactly a week ago, and I don't know if this is even a good thread to post about it, but my oldest brother died today of COVID. He was intubated saturday and stable till about 2am. Guts backed up, kidneys failed, he died around 6am.

He refused vaccination on explicitly political grounds. Hated Bush, voted Obama 08, got disillusioned. He was a fairly regular white male American until sometime around 2015 or so when got into long haul trucking, AM radio, TRUMP, and 4chan, in that order. I loved him and tried to talk sense into him but he died a 50 year old conspiracy theorist, alone in a hospital 20 hours from family.

The rest of us survive him, in this hellworld, for a while.

Ah fuckin hell, I'm really sorry, that's just tragic.

I hope you and the rest of your family are able to find a safe way to grieve and reminisce on the before times.

they aren't anti-vax cause they got it themselves back in April, but they're skirting the line now cause she also told me i didnt need to bother with a booster shot.

I wish there was a drat nationwide general strike. What's truly crippling about an airborne virus is that it hinders social activism. I want to see teachers and HCWs unions organize walkouts, but how do you spark the groundswell of support without increasing exposure and transmission?

I've seen this with my boss specifically. When he saw I got the shot ASAP by driving over 2 counties, he got intense amounts of FOMO and got his shot as well (he's over 65 and was eligible way earlier than I was) - now he's bitching about how "work forced him to take the shot" and feels like he's been bamboozled and talks about how nervous he is that his DNA is changed. A steady diet of talk radio during long commutes to his ranch property has proper rotted his brain and is overriding any sort of logic, and is turning him anti-vax even though he hasn't experienced any negative effects from the vaccination.

There's a documentary called The Brainwashing of my Father on Youtube that's full of succlib poo poo but if you can ignore that it's pretty informative. Goes over how suburbanization created a massive pool of people spending hours alone in their car every day and how the right figured out that they were a fertile breeding ground for radicalization.
