The pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma) makes profit from human misery, and it sells medicines and other medical supplies at high profit margins which rather should be provided for free to anyone who needs them. Provided for free because it should be the duty of everyone to help her or his fellow humans avoid or heal from sickness and live a good life without pain and suffering.
These are socialist ethics of course and they don’t apply in a capitalist society which is based on wealth accumulation and profit maximization.
So, Pfizer, a criminal company who was fined 2.3 billion US$ for illegally marketing drugs like Zyvox, Lyrica, Bextra, and Geodon, sells COVID-19 vaccines (developed by another company) for 20 to 30 US$ a shot, and clueless politicians, discredited for their dismal performance and mismanagement of the pandemic emergency, jump at the vaccination train, hoping that this is the perfect solution, the silver bullet to end this health crisis.
After a while it comes to light that vaccines from Pfizer and other pharma companies don’t prevent infections and don’t disrupt transmission chains, while more and more cases of dangerous, even deadly side effects are reported.
Pharma lobbyists, politicians, bureaucrats, and the mass media go in overdrive, telling the dismayed and horrified public that the vaccines are not useless because they mitigate the infection and prevent severe sickness.
The statistics are plentiful and contradictory, but global statistics show no clear correlation of vaccination rates with hospitalization rates.
China, lambasted and ridiculed for its zero-COVID policy, still uses the whole array of mitigating measures (contact tracing, quarantine, lockdowns, travel bans, masks, ventilation, and vaccines) in an unrelenting drive to eradicate COVID-19.
Chinese life expectancy is now one year higher than US life expectancy!
The only people who were attacked are those who wear masks. It was libertarians ridiculing those of us who wanted to take precautions. I've a healthy lifestyle but many don't and won't take any precautions, even something as simple as wearing a mask. Selfish imo.
I was attacked (not physically, but brutal verbally) a few times for not wearing a mask properly. I am talking post-mask mandate people flying off the handle. I am not going to cite specific examples, though.
Some people purposefully let their nose out of the mask to mock those of us who took this pandemic seriously. I feel your condescension. Attacking is never ok. Peace out.
I was talking about the videos that have been shared with me....you're right, I never attacked anyone for wearing a mask, I still don't. People can do whatever they want to do with their bodies. I don't know what condescension you were feeling, because I wasn't projecting it.
When I was on FB, I used to have to make euphemisms for things so I wouldn't get kicked off.
I don't have to do that on Substack, but it's been like a 2 1/2 year habit I am trying to break. I am also trying to reach out to people to build bridges. Like I said, no matter what path we took, we are both alive and here and now we need to figure out how to move forward. Peace.
Get politicians out of politics
Was the Republican the "Democratic Party" supported more of a Neocon than Sarah Palin?
It actually was a democrat.. not that it’s any better!

Yup; hard to say it better myself!

I am not condescending towards you!
I was just telling you what happened to me.

Not me specifically, just the way you talk about getting the jab and juice etc. I understand your pov and don't totally disagree.

I was attacked for wearing one when I wore it, and for not wearing one when I didn’t..
