My man, you're the one focusing on them. Good job telling on yourself here. and there it is. Back to square one (not that you ever left)
Why are they disingenuous? Explain? Why do you think the WHO were against them at the start of the Pandemic? They were against them because there was decades of literate that literally talked about how situations like this would emerge. That you would cut off countries front the world. In fact you would disencourage a country like Sourb Africa from going the excellent genomic screening that they do that caught this when it did and allowed scientists to do the real work of looking at this variants and maybe tweaking vaccines. You know the way there are several countries that are now banned; do you realise without surveillance that we wouldn’t know this and you create incentives not to report otherwise? Do you know anything about developing countries and how simple things like minor things like allowing a State Owned Enterprise official out to do business with other countries is integral to basic payments that gives sufficient currency to feed and cloth people who have absolutely nothing? Issues that are well identified here? https://finance.yahoo.com/video/travel-bans-dont-doctor-explains-143009039.html Again; do you have anything worthwhile to add here at all or are you really the total waste of a western upbringing that you come across as?

Guys, I know I'm showing my ignorance repeatedly itt, but I need a TMB decoder ring for Spliff's posts.
Was going to post a gif of spaghetti because that just looks like a bowl of spaghetti to me. That led me to this. Apparently pornographic spaghetti art is a thing. I mean of course it is because people are fucking weird but yeah, saw that for the first time today. Spoiler: NSFW?
Why aren’t we flooding the developing world with vaccines? Delta came from India at a time when few there were vaxxed, and SA is at under 25%. It seems places like these are the most likely reservoirs for mutants, not stateside chuds. I get “protecting our own”, but it’s so incredibly selfish of us to hoard like we have, boosting every swinging dick that wants one, and now vaccinating so many kids (whose risk of hospitalization or death was already infinitesimally small), while HCWs and at-risk people elsewhere haven’t even had a chance to get a first dose. If a mutant emerges from the third world that escapes vaccines, we only have ourselves and our greed to blame.
Czech Republic too. So that’s Israel, Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Germany, Belgium and likely the Netherlands in the last 2 days who have the variant- and they’re just the ones sequencing. But yeah, let’s pretend our travel bans on developing countries in Africa is going to make a difference.
And part and parcel of your argument I’m sure is to allow society and people to function in the most healthy way.
Vaccinating everyone, no matter where they are, is the selfish move too. I guess people are just too dumb to realize that the more people you allow to be a host, the more likely it is to show up on your doorstep
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/27/style/anti-vaccine-deaths-social-media.html Incredible framing here, like antivax people are simply just slightly dumb, impressionable folks just trying to die in peace while others are hordes of angry busy bodies
The people who aren't being absolutely fucking vile on the internet and influencing and perpetuating the anti-vaccine and mask sentiment aren't the ones being shamed. We weren't the ones who started this battle, it's incredible to frame this as just being "both sides are polarized" when we likely would have driven case rates to a very low level if facebook, fox news, etc. didn't exist.
We've coddled and cajoled the covid deniers for coming up on 2 years now, basically never calling them out for their idiocy. Same w the Trumpers. We just hope that somehow they'll come to their senses.
Yeah Leonardi is right that we can and should be doing our best to mitigate stuff as much as possible. Gandhi is constantly on the "i wanna stop caring about all this" parts of twitter
Yeah, with 5th wave underway, we need more stringent public health measures and increased vaccinations.
it does fwiw. Gandhi almost never stops posting about removing NPI's and "off-ramps" , seemingly without regard for when things get bad all over again
That's nice and all, but I've got to go Christmas shopping and then to the office Christmas party and then...
