The most insidious covid skeptic line of reasoning is anti-corporate because it's basically true that big pharma and capitalist medicine places profits before anything else but it's classic poisoning the well to jump to any anti-vaccine type conclusions from it. Real 6th grade reasoning poo poo

It's especially dumb when they avoid the "big pharma" vaccines and instead rely on hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin or benadryl (+ milk) etc etc etc

how long has this dumb cycle be going on ?

1. COV19 is over
2. New variant shows up overseas and gets ignored
3. massive surge in new case for 2-3 months, then a die-off over the next month
4. Return back to media going on how COV19 is over /The New Normal

Hmm. With the virus constantly evolving to get around the antibodies, vaccines protection, it wouldn't be long before all of our current tests fail to detect it completely lol. We already have some tests that doesn't work on Omicron, so it's a good guess that eventually all brands won't work anymore.

What's more fun is that it would be seen as a wonderful opportunity. Nobody would develop a test to detect the newer strain because Covid is finally over for good!

(China will develop a newer test, but the rest of the world definitely would just ignore that)

Also many "damage control" treatments like antibody have already stopped working for some of the new sub-lineages of omicron.

Went to the convenience store in my shiny new 3M 7300 this morning, and this poo poo is like dynamite fishing for bad opinions. The cashier made a stupid "can't tell your gender" joke and all I could do was laugh and say that I was expecting to get a comment or two but she defied all expectations.

gently caress, get a half-face if you can. It's 100% worth it, not just for OSHA-levels of COVID protection, but for instantly highlighting the people with bad opinions.

Ahhh that's depressing. Just imagine if the CDC recommended the same level of appropriate caution wrt COVID as it does to everything else. Number wouldn't be happy so no go.

Also stop putting so much salt in everything, the CDC is right! Really like the cast iron no-knead pizza dough recipe linked previously itt but had to halve the amount of salt. Who can tolerate such salty pizza.

Also the best mask is one you're willing and able to wear and a lot of people hate headstraps, especially if they have long hair. KF94s are basically the best mask option you can get if you aren't willing/able to start being the wierdo masked guy with a headstrap N95 or elastomeric.

Don't think it'll be easy like that. They've been conditioned for violence and impulsive aggressive actions while everyone else hasn't really mentally prepared to retaliate or defend themselves.

I mean, how many people nowadays still thinks that the cops would protect them from any aggressors?

The only comment I've gotten so far is "you look like Darth Vader", said by an old guy who was obviously not angry or anything. I'm actually kinda disappointed more randos off the street aren't freaking out. I guess we'll see if that trend continues with the sucknfuck gathering a head of steam.
