*Sigh*
How exactly did the modern government create this problem?
https://nypost.com/2021/10/21/nih-admits-us-funded-gain-of-function-in-wuhan-despite-faucis-repeated-denials/The National Institutes of Health has stunningly admitted to funding gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at China’s Wuhan lab — despite Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly insisting to Congress that no such thing happened.
The admission from the NIH official directly contradicts Fauci’s testimony to Congress in May and July, when he denied the US had funded gain-of-function projects in Wuhan.
For one, they enabled this to happen by negligently funding research that was declared unlawful for good reason.
And strengthens the theory this was a Lab Leak and not the bs Bat Story China keeps trying to push.
Ask this question. What's so much worse that China, an authoritarian government, would rather you believe their people ate bat soup?
Whether or not Lab Leak is real, there's no way the Bat Story was real. If it were, China would've hid it to save face.
Do you think that preventable Covid-cased flooding hospitals is hype?
Covid-cases flooding hospitals is an area-by-area basis. The media has broken the trust of the average person over the years.
Most places you go to a hospital in the US, it won't be like this. But in large urban centers, and even suburban areas, it will be.
However 99% of the US is Rural or Rural-suburbia, and the majority of the covid deniers are also Rural or Rural-suburbia.
Do you think that because African countries don't have similar access to vaccines, the western countries shouldn't bother?
Any infection can produce the next major variant, so any prevented infection reduces the chances.
All of these occurrences have been considered possible and have even been expected.
its not that vaccines dont work, its that the US is literally hoarding them. the rest of the world is literally just vibing constantly infected over and over by the millions breeding new variants because the US doesn't want to wave the patent/give it away for free
south africa is like 35% vaccinated so you draw your own conclusions
This, 100%. It's not 100% about the money though. It's also about power and control. Pandemic-era lockdowns and regulations have made buck, sure.
But they also are great for power grabbing sociopaths.
This anti-vaccine derangement is only going to make the situation worse.
On this I agree, and in a counter-intuitive position I think this is also intentionally being caused by the same people who are pro-vaccine.
For SEVERAL reasons:
First, vaccination has become a political identifier. Typically Republican unvaccinated, Democrat vaccinated. Or more aptly, Anti-Establishment unvaccinated, Establishment Vaccinated.
Even republicans are vaccinated, but it's typically the Annoying Orange-publicans who are not. And Annoying Orange's base has been split down the middle by the man himself. While Annoying Orange his Pro-Vaccine,
more than half of his supporters are not.
Second, Vaccination makes $$$. Seriously, a booster shot ever 6 to 8 months? That's $$$ every single time.
Third, It's a power grabbing tool, by both sides. Establishment politicians can use the fear to get votes in their favor.
And Anti-Establishment voters can do the same. This is why both sides see their own party as a roadblock and not activists,
while the opposing party is going 'insane'. Because both parties are doing the insane stuff, we negligently allow to go on in our
own sides, but demonize in the other.
Finally, it prolongs the situation. By having people unvaccinated to that level, it means that this pandemic can go on indefinitely.
Indefinite pandemic means indefinite $$$.
The government will not fix this situation. And to those not new to politics, this should be no surprise.
Every problem the people have is an opportunity for a politician to win an election. Why would they
fix the problem? All they have to do is mutually agree to be the opposers roadblock, pass laws that
give them political longevity, but not actually solve the issue. And blame the other when the
problem isn't solved.
If your the person going "both parties are bad, but X party is worse" you've fallen into the trap.
I have too. Many people have. It's easy to see one evil as worse than another and decide that
you can ignore the lesser. And certainly one evil may be worse. But that's not the problem or
the point. By turning a blind eye to a lesser evil, you are playing into a basic psychological gambit.
The big ask. Or the bait and switch.
Propose one unbearable evil, typically controversial, and paint the other's unbearable evil as worse.
Use this to allow your bearable evils to pass.
Simple, easy, manipulation.
That's what's going on here.
"There are Heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere."
And evil certainly does triumph when good citizens do nothing.
but the greatest trick of all, is to convince someone they're not doing nothing in the face of evil.
Trading one evil for another is no bargain. It's Self Delete.
