this is likely to kill you
anybody else feel like the early stages of a widespread prion disease incident would be largely indistinguishable from the long-covid ravaged “society” we’ve already got
Yea, the long incubation time of prions combined with the complete brain melting that the covid pandemic caused (both covid symptoms/long covid impacts and the societal impacts) and the tendency of capitalist governments to downplay/cover up these health problems (micro plastics/forever chemicals/covid/every other example I can’t think of off the top of my head) makes me dread the possibility of a widespread prion outbreak that would be ignored until way too late.
Ah fuck the solution is going to be using AktionT4 “MAID” to murder “euthanize” these prion victims isn’t it
For a lot of fun, google “covid” + “[virtually any disease]” in order to find out how covid is basically airborne any disease:
To make matters worse, the province this comes from, New Brunswick, is essentially a feudal state owned by one family, the Irvings. They own the gas stations, media outlets, and just about everything else in that province
Wouldn’t be surprised if they were the ones pushing to cover this
I never heard of the Irvings so I googled. I found an article - “The Irvings, Canada’s robber barons” - but the scrollbar was suspiciously small. Sure enough when I scrolled down far enough - I reached the paywall. I fucking hate that.
It’s always New Brunnswick, https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/agent-orange-us-gagetown-1.6906995
God damn North America is a fucking Petri dish
In the backstory of the hit indie darling Disco Elysium a prion disease outbreak was one of the things that precipitated a widespread revolution against the existing social order, culminating in the world’s first and only short-lived communist state. The deplorable living conditions of the peasantry finally became unbearable with the influx of a devastating illness spread by means that those in power could act to prevent but chose not to and revolutionary armies formed
My baseless theory is that the Irvings had to do with the silencing of this issue in NB as those fuckers control almost everything there.
