1 in 5 people catching covid have long covid, but fuck you if you don’t want to take that risk in exchange for some treats. Just get yourself and everyone you know infected again and again, it’s fine.
(Apologies comrades, but both archive failed to work, and nitter looks broken, possibly due to Elon banning third party apps?)
US has 16% of global covid deaths :amerikkka-clap:
Until it starts hurting rich people, the US government isn't going to lift a finger. Maybe not even then.
covid really let us down not taking out trump, johnson, bolsonaro...
That probably has more to do with like 50% of the population believing vaccines will kill you than it does with COVID procedures, or the entire west would be as bad off as the US
and also how usa is just a "third world country"'s idea of a "first world country"
cosplaying a developed nation while it's not realy
I would argue it's in a league of it's own: "Third-world-by-choice"
I'll cut Hawai'i and Puerto Rico some slack as they are occupied nations, so they're moreso exploited against their will. Same with the rest of the global south. They are over-exploited: we can see this in history because the Arab World and North Africa used to be the big "wealthy" zone. Ehh, maybe Mediterranean Europe too (not that I'm biased :anti-italian-action:). So we know that they are not poor because of the /pol/ fantasy that white people are the only people worth a damn.
But what excuse does the US have for things being so bad? "Muh diversity"? Then why is Cuba still kicking DESPITE the embargo? Switzerland has three official languages and consistently ranks as one of the best countries for QoL? If you mean to imply that black people are some kind of bad luck charm, you are delusional. At best, one could say they are winning some arbitrary moral victory about "freedom", but that's rich coming from the country that's the ringleader of the 14 eyes.
:grillman:: "COVID responses are the same as climate responses! Population control!"
Mio fratello in Cristo, not doing anything in response to COVID IS the population control! Letting porky pollute all he wants and telling anyone who's lives are threatened by climate change to die IS the population control!
How the hell can ANYONE be convinced that measures taken that are proven to extend both life expectancy and public health are population control?
