So next year the elderly and youth won’t be defended against the potential flu strain of the year. What could possibly go wrong.
Lol.
Hope everyone’s ready for another pandemic. After all, an anti-vaxxer with brain worms is in charge of our health.
may every fascist be able to afford a rope.
“It’s a bad day for infectious diseases,” said Dr. Ofer Levy
I would argue it’s a great day for infectious diseases, but a bad day for humanity.
Too true. Queue meme:
“CapitalismHorrors persist, but so do I”I will say that they whiffed incredibly badly on this year’s flu prediction.
That happens from time to time; it’s incredibly hard to predict which strains will be prevalent months down the line, and flu mutates so rapidly that what’s circulating now might be a rather different strain from what will be circulating by the time the vaccine is rolling out. It’s frequently a shot in the dark, but shooting in the dark is always going to get more hits than not shooting at all.
Another fun fact, they usually don’t just select a single strain for the yearly vaccine. They often select a handful of strains, and net on one of them being the one.
So a shotgun in the dark.
Let’s pray for Trump and all the geriatric scum in congress getting the flu.
They won’t. They will still get the proper shots.
It’s right in line with their all for me none for thee cult.
Hard to get the proper shots if the FDA doesn’t even know what the proper shots should be… Flu mutates rapidly, that’s why we get updated flu vaccines every year.
They’ll just have it figured out privately. They’ve got their fingers in everything now.
Their goal is to get the masses sick and not themselves. All to further their agenda of becoming dictator-kings.
The people who curry favor will get access to medical care the masses won’t.
That’s what they think too. Unfortunately, they are yet unable to buy immortality. You cannot buy something that does not exist. They cannot pay money to buy knowledge from thin air, or manufacture a product with no lead time, no matter how much money they have.
They can however seclude themselves on a private island and live vicariously through a phone screen in a reality of their own. Until wifi drops, at least.
“the event” is exciting. fresh and new. a real challenge. Afterwards… is boring. sucky. nobody wants to be there. so don’t imagine it. they could head to their bunkers right now, if they wanted. but they won’t. they just keep waiting for “the end” that never comes. The game doesn’t stop, the credits don’t roll.
A billion dollars won’t buy you the exit from the rat race. Try again.
That fucking wormy-brained piece of shit.
He got the shit batch of bargain worms from Wish. He can’t even play the Holophoner.
I have found myself asking this a bit recently… What the fuck, America?
Idk. I did my part. I cannot speak for the others. I can say that I dislike them.
Probably about time to go protest in the streets and get mowed down by a squadron of corporate armed drones.
On the upside that’s sequel to 1984 is going to be lit
Protest on the streets.
The majority of us did not vote for this. And we’re trapped. We can’t riot like the French do; we’ll lose our jobs and our healthcare and our houses.
This has been long in the making.
The vast majority either did vote for this, or couldn’t be bothered to vote against it.
No, there was massive voter suppression. Stop blaming the “majority” when voting is working exactly as the system and politicians intend it to work.
If we had a national day off for voting, then you can shame others.
Hmm. A majority of voters voted for this. If you didn’t vote you don’t count.
I get that a third of the population voted against a Trump presidency, and you do have my sympathy, I just think its important to acknowledge the extent of the problem.
Voter suppression is widespread. I didn’t vote. I would have liked to, but I live 3k miles from the nearest polling center and my absentee ballot came a week after the election. I know people who can’t vote because of DUIs (not defending DUIs, but they aren’t a valid reason to silence someone imo). Even among people with the right to vote, if you have to wait three hours in line with no access to food, water, or shade, that can be difficult to impossible depending on your health condition and employment circumstances.

A plurality of voter supported this.
The French did not have healthcare back when they had their revolution 😉
The French also didn’t live in a surveillance state with the largest power disparity between the top 1 percent and the bottom 99.
SLPT: Those who lose everything have nothing to lose.
Yay!
