can and should be seen like the ancient Romans knowing that lead was poisoning them and using it anyway.
Good news! California is banning lead in all fuel, set to take effect in… 2031. So just a couple thousand more years before killing grandma for your treats is no longer acceptable!
the current "covid is over" can and should be seen like the ancient Romans knowing that lead was poisoning them and using it anyway.
I think it's even worse tbh because, and I suppose charitably, lead had/has an actual practical use and Covid is literally just a virus. We can't make it into pipes. We can't make it into anything except death and disease. There is no reason for things to be like this regarding pure illness other than everyone sees everyone else in the world as disposable NPCs and themselves as invincible.

This time CA pinky swears it! Although they’ve pushed back the deadline every single time they were gonna ban it earlier.
Debate nerd stuff
It’s Avgas (used by piston engines) that has the lead in it. Lead in jet fuel is generally a very bad thing - it makes the spinny things stop!
