Getting hospitals to stop reporting on COVID cases was absolutely brilliant (in an evil genius sort of way). Even myself, I try to take COVID as seriously as I can but when the rest of the world doesn’t care it makes it harder.

Yeah bad phrasing on my part. The rest of the world does care, it’s just in my little corner of the world people do not.

Wastewater reporting is basically all I can rely on in Florida. Dunno what I’ll do when they stop reporting.

Malthusian overpopulation is obviously bullshit, but I really wonder if the ruling class fuckers believe in it.

Bill Gates most certainly does, he routinely expresses concern about shit like Africa and their “rapid population growth” and the like, there’s no way he isn’t an ecofascist

I’m sure it’s a coincidence that bill gates was loudly against opening up mrna vaccine tech and how covid vaccines barely made it into Africa.

It’s real fun how Bill Gates is routinely referred to as an expert outside of his lane (intellectual property/stealing from workers), including pandemics, and he’s probably the single person who should have the most blame in the catastrophic pandemic response. He’s the one who convinced Oxford to sell their vaccine for big pharma, after they had the original intent to make it open source for the world.

The fact that this business tyrant who was reviled by many in the public has now rebranded himself as a “good” billionaire really shows he has the best PR that money can buy.

They are saving money on retirement accounts. I’m sure in another couple years we’ll see headlines like “Actually, the average lifespan going down is a good thing” or “the dark side of living into retirement age”

This kills people’s interest in getting a booster now or in the future. And funding for prevention and treatment will vanish. Fuck.

Funding has already vanished, and the white house covid doctor was excited about everything being privatized.

They did this with children’s vaccines, too. Said schools were safe, didn’t spread covid, it didn’t harm kids… so of course uptake of the vaccines were poor.

They dropped mask mandates and they are going “see, no one’s masking. covid is over”.

It’s like saying “no one’s driving less, so climate change is nothing to worry about”.
