It 100% makes sense that we're gonna end up breeding a vaccine escape nightmare variant here in the US. We have enough vaccines to put pressure on it to select for ways around them, but not enough vaccines and NPIs to actually get rid of it. We're like the perfect environment to develop something like this.

I’m not sure there’s that much pressure considering we have tens of millions of unvaccinated people still tbh

If the vaccination rates were evenly distributed, maybe. But it varies pretty widely by region, and people travel between vaxxed and unvaxxed areas constantly, bringing new slightly-mutated strains into the vaccinated enclaves to take another swing at the piñata (plus any breakthrough cases are adding their own).

This is a little sad, just accept your honest plumber + water treatment engineer does far more to ensure public health than any doctor while being compensated far less. There's no shame admitting it.

Plus if we're going to play that game note the ghouls living in NYC's financial district are literally 100% vaccinated and that's not stellar company. Not hyperbole, look it up it's 100%.

Cellular life has always been prey to viruses, indefatigable enemies ruthlessly culling any overly numerous species. In the evolutionary arms race between virus and life the viruses always win, the only truly reliable counter-measure being space and diversification. Vaccines are an evolutionary cheat code giving living things the edge against the planet's true apex predator for the first time in billions of years.

Though it's really clean water and toilets, figures someone on this site would overlook those.

based on our response to mandatory masking and vaccination, i bet there were objections back then. like a court official travelling to some backwater village and trying to get them to poo poo in a designated downstream area and protests breaking out like "i'll poo poo WHERE i want, WHEN i want."

I have a significant but very real tinfoil hat on anymore that the government is actively not doing what it should to allow a couple of very difficult population imbalances to sort themselves out.

Starting to think the ‘population control’ vax conspiracies floating around in the past year were yet another attempt to hijack awareness and distract from a very real conspiracy to cull large numbers of the population

same as how the qanon poo poo was a smokescreen backed by actual sex traffickers

So I know I’ve brought this up before, but it’s one of my worst memories.

Imagine you’re at a hospital that has lost power, the generators are out, you’ve got nothing, not even phones. Your vents aren’t working and you are bagging patients. You are doing this in very dim light, no monitors, only the slight squeak of the bag as you squeeze, you’re tired and you just want to stop but you can’t. You hear moaning and crying coming from down the hall but you can’t help, you can’t even step out for a second.

You can’t really stop to check your patient’s blood pressure but you can still feel a thready pulse. Your patient was on medication drips but those have now been left to drip in slowly because you can’t infuse the medications. You feel the tension in your patient’s lungs and realize you’ve let your nerves get to you and you’ve bagged too fast. You seek calm, keep bagging, slow and steady. Pulse remains slow and faint. This could last days.

That’s bagging someone in the aftermath of a hurricane and it’s awful.

Democrats are professional fundraisers who never wanted to be in charge of anything but couldn't help failing-up. They're happy to take advantage of minorities dying as long as that remains the path of least resistance, but I don't believe that they would decide to use coronavirus as a bioweapon against the underclasses.

Not because of some moral issue though, I just don't believe they're capable of making a decision and then following through.

I find it way more likely that the governments incompetence is set up in a way that creates the perfect storm with covid to cull poor minorities. It exposes how things are set up to fail the most vulnerable. Like sure, maybe that wasn't the governments intentions, but they sure aren't giving a poo poo. So it's the same result and arguabley just as racist/classist.

don't be ridiculous. when hygiene was broadly rolled out and enforced it wasn't the labourers who were being asked to wash their hands. why on earth would I was my hands, don't you know I'm a doctor not some low class ditch digger.

hand washing was discovered and "lost"/ suppressed by medicine numerous times because it asked wealthy high status people to change their behaviour.
