And permantly disfigured even more with long COVID.
They knew what would happen. The US is wealthy with a huge military force. They could have locked down and mobilised their army to protect people until it was over.
But the oligarchs didn't want to slow their profits and give up even an inch of their wealth and power, so COVID was allowed to run rampant. They sacrified their own people to the virus. These people did not willingly sacrifice themselves, they were killed through purposeful negelect.
They also encouraged other countries to do the same. My own country hardly had any deaths before US officials visited and pressured them to open again.
It's no longer tracked properly so who knows the full extent of the death.
This could be one of the largest mass killings in history.
The worst part is when the news tries to spin how traumatic it was for kids to endure our pathectic excuse for a 'lockdown', instead of how traumatic it was to watch our countries murder millions for nothing and hear our friends and families parrot eugenics talking points to try and justify it.
EDIT: [CONTENT WARNING] There is a blue MAGA from another instance in the comments who is hand waving away peoples COVID experiences, so if you have lost a loved one to this disease or had your life or loved ones affected by it, reading the comments here might stir some trauma. Just a heads up.
"I have a family member disabled and someone else in my life died because liberals turned covid mitigation into an individual choice"
And your reflex is to whine about how your words were misrepresented. To just get it out of the way: you're a inhuman callous piece of shit. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself. And no your words weren't misconstrued. On a matter of life and death inaction by democrats holding power was justified by you just now because "republicans would have been worse"
Just fucking defederate from us already. You're worse than bringing nothing of value.
"Just sort by local!" they said, "It's like nothing has changed that way!"
Bullshit. I've been here 3 years and i can say that it was pretty rare to get somebody like this dipshit just wandering in here before federating with these fucking libs, can't wait for all this to end the way that seems inevitable
Agreed. If we are going to stay federated I wish that the mods would at least tackle bad faith wreckers that disregard our trauma tags.
