It's actually mainly anti-vaxxers blaming the vaccines for it
MFW: :doomer:
Also the hashtag is misspelled as "DiedSuddendly"
I was surprised by how emotionally distraught I got over China rolling back zero covid. Hard times ahead. :meow-hug:
:meow-hug:
I hope they ultimately see it as a disaster and go back to zero covid.
Same. Really hoping they stop fucking around before the finding out becomes irreversable.
TBH things were pretty fucked before covid too so uhhh welcome to the cult I guess. It's not very much fun, but people tell me I'm wrong less now than they did before 2020.
trust me, I know, I spent the decade preceding the pandemic dealing with the american healthcare system, getting passed from doctor to doctor without anyyone having a clue what was wrong with me
4 months before the NBA shutdown for covid, I started injecting myself weekly with immunosuppressants. its been fun
Really gotta wonder what a future without herd immunity looks like. This preview of extended, harder hitting "seasons" is already pretty scary. Went to a hardware store yesterday and I was the only one not regularly coughing. Also the only one wearing a mask. 🤷♂️
I remember at university during the cold flu season and finals nearly every student was coughing. It's actually kind of wild how that was normal back then. The entire mask thing in the US doomerfied me. Its a canary in the coal mine for much worse things ahead.
Yeah, I've yelled out since the beginning that covid was a fire drill compared to things ahead. And yet I was still naive enough that I didn't expect them all to light building on fire and then go back inside.
The most American thing is to cut off your own limbs while screaming take that communists.
As long as the virus only hurts poor people, children and the elderly, Porky don't give a shit.
Shit. As long as they don't have to watch it happening directly they'll even let it hurt their own. Real Masque of the Red Death hours going on.
This is something of a conspiracy theory, but personally I think a lot of what's going on is most members of the ruling class truly believe in overpopulation/Malthusianism and aren't just happy to watch working people die, but actively encourage it.
but this time they include white people as d*g*n*r*t*s as well so it's not racist!
Oh, no! I totally agree! Just because malthusian overpopulation is bullshit doesn't mean these rich dumb fucks don't believe in it and express it like all their other shared class interests. I think a lot of the blue-maga libs agree with it as well; They're clapping themselves on the back for not being red-maga anti-vaxxers while the Red Masqued, Long Covid walks through their vaccinated castle.
100%. None of these billionaires actually strike me as particularly well educated about demographics, and belief in overpopulation is incredibly normalized in our society -- which I don't think is an accident. I've had lots of arguments with libs and even genuinely leftist people about how overpopulation isn't a problem, overconsumption is. I believe that all human life has value, and that the environment is primarily being destroyed by and for rich people and their militaries. I think if we get rid of that shit and build a rational agricultural system we can easily live comfortably with this many people, in balance with nature (which I also think is a lot more capable of springing back than many people think).
That will stop working when the bougie no longer have any peons left to shovel their shit.
Yeah but by then it will be (is?) totally out of control, Sorceror's Apprentice style. Too late to change policy.
Yep this is going to be a big conservative talking point for a long time.
Liberals will panic and react by just calling the unusual deaths fake and a conspiracy theory and denying anything bad is happening from long-term Covid. Liberals will suppress all news of unusual deaths in young people or studies on excess deaths.
This will further fuel the right, as they will feel vindicated by the Libs denial of reality of the unusual deaths and that they are being “censored”.
Eventually liberals will slowly accept the right’s Covid-denial narrative, as they have slowly accepted all the rights Covid positions over time. They don’t want to talk about their failed response to containing the pandemic, so they won’t have any other explanation to go with except to eventually become vaccine skeptics who pretend they were never pro-Covid vaccine (like Chuds who pretend they were against the Iraq War a decade later)
16 kids die of strep throat in the space of three months "oh that's because people wore masks and socially isolated too much"
