Says the crowd who is too busy engaging in partisan sniping to suggest this obvious alternative.

The only tyranny comes from idiots that think that everything needs to be run from Washington. You are free to solve your own problems the way you see fit.

You're free to shove your own elderly together with covid patients and destroy doctors who are pragmatic about covid vaccinations.

I have a compromised immune system. I'm not sure 70% is good enough to even bother with.

Democrats did that when they didn't run the last VP and instead had someone's wife run.

All of Trump's nepotism can't match that.

You can access all sorts of corporate media on YouTube.

It's not just random people making casual observations that blow apart NPRs media narrative.

I would take it in a heartbeat. Compared to the other shit I have to take to stay alive it's fucking candy.

That's a really retarded comparison.

HCQ has been safely used as a maintenance drug for DECADES.

Plenty of us take drugs with far more interesting side effects.

It's all a matter of what you fear more: taking the drug or not taking it.

Meanwhile nimrods like you want to hide in your homes and trash the economy because you are afraid of this thing.

This seems like a situation where an imperfect solution should be considered better than doing nothing.

You have no fucking sense of perspective.

Veganism was a growing fad for awhile and then it got attached to climate change. The whole thing seems designed to snooker people into believing that this is something that they can easily adopt without any adjustments or pitfalls.

Mock meats seem to be a very big part of selling vegetarianism to aren't really into the idea.

It seems odd to me that the only food processing plants having trouble are slaughterhouses. It seems like ANY factory would have similar problems for similar reasons.

Mock meats are as processed as it gets.

No they aren't. Nurses need to go to food banks. Interns strike for better pay and working conditions. The poorer parts of the EU are harvested for cheap labor.

This is a classic case of "damned lies". The numbers clearly show that the magnitude of the "epidemic" in those other states is far lower than what occurred in New York.

NYC accounts for about half the cases and deaths all by itself.

Remove those and the rest of the country so far has just had a bad flu season.

I've had millions in claims and have never been denied. I have had drugs and procedures that are rationed or age restricted in other countries. Even if I had to give up all of my money for those things, I would still be ahead compared to how I likely would have fared in your country.

If you fear debt more than death then you have a perversely distorted sense of values.

No system can avoid the problem of human frailty. Any that attempts this will create remarkably more misery than would have occurred otherwise. You can't ignore or suppress human nature. You have to account for it and harness it.

You have to engineer systems based on the way things are. Not how you wish they were.

You've just described the flu as well as a large array of obscure pathogens.

That's the problem with the 2020 version of science.

Anyone that doesn't conform deserves to be put in an asylum (Soviet style).

Without 'deniers', you would still be stuck with the 4 humors.

There are plenty of weird things put into industrialized food. A lot of it doesn't immediately impact most people. The fact that the problems are only obvious for a small amount of people shouldn't be used as an excuse to blow off the risks for everyone.
