Except that the antivaxxers are in charge of the budget for pandemic preparedness.
So they're not just putting their heads in the sand, they're forcing our heads in the sand too

The hottest illegal drug of 2025 will be black-market vaccines. Some will work, some will be placebos or worse (as happens when a supply chain is taken over by organised crime). The DEA will announce record-breaking seizures of “dangerous experimental drugs” from China. Those who can afford to will fly across the Atlantic to a country with walk-in vaccinations for noncitizens.
Lol (but more seriously I think that black market self administered injections would be too scary for the average person)
My first thought was that it 100% depends on how scary the disease you're trying to treat is.
And then I remembered some folks were chugging horse dewormer during COVID and I'm not so sure anymore.
This exactly. I'm not worried about them. I'm worried as to whether I'll be able to survive without a vaccine.
That RFK will likely block. That Dr. Oz will likely prevent any study on.
We're entering fascism folks. Hold on to your butts.
Vaccines notwithstanding, I'm also worried about whether our food supply will be safe from their malarkey.
Good luck surviving tainted food supply chains with Commander Snake Oil and Captain Road Kill running things.
Stuff like this is going to lead people like me to either raise my own food or buy as local as possible. Because all the safety nets will be cut and you won't be able to trust the government to do their job.
Which is exactly what they want. They want people to be as afraid of the government as they are.
Doubtful, major pharma brands made a killing, they may be weird business monsters but they are still business monsters and will bend to the dollar.
More than business monsters, they're ego monsters.
Unfortunately, the last pandemic didn't kill off enough of them to solve the problem. So we'll have to hope this one will do the job.
Reminded me of this: https://youtu.be/znI046F4FKg
I think if the bird flu became a thing, hopefully we can produce vaccine quickly. I know we already can do it with other flu, but the process is still time consuming, not sure if there's mRNA version of flu vaccine.
But knowing some conspiracy people, yeah I think this would be the hill they would die on. After covid, even if they saw their family and friends dying they would still say that they were murdered in hospitals, or infected with something else secretly or via chem trails.
Just be sure you never miss a day of church. It is probably just allergies.
Jesus was the reason we survived this fake liberal disease.
Those deaths were just of old age or the flu.
"If she floats, she's a liberal commie witch. If she sinks she's with jesus!"
Win freakin win, baby
The religious ones I know are so much full of hate that I don't Jesus wants anything to do with them.
It's weird that the party with the most "preppers" seems to not want to prepare. It's almost like prepping is just LARPing their chosen fantasy.
Those "Preppers" who like to think they're the only ones prepared to do what it takes to survive the collapse of society are the same people who thought that wearing a cloth mask was an unacceptable trampling of their rights, too uncomfortable, or would kill them with CO2.
They are ABSOLUTELY just LARPing their chosen fantasy. The second it became even VAGUELY real they immediately crumpled.
Unless you can shoot the threat then peppers won’t be prepared to confront it.
Holy shit they just solved what the infectious disease researchers haven't been able to solve for decades!!
It seems so obvious now that they've said it! Just don't participate! It's that easy! If we just don't participate in the disease we don't get sick!
Genius!!
Funny how suddenly consent matters to them
If we just stopped testing...
Well they're really not going to like it when reasonable countries close their borders to Americans due to this policy.
Ridiculous tariffs and now this. He really went to North Korea and thought, yeah autarky is definitely the model to copy.
Yes they will, they'll love having a captive citizenship that can't flee.
They need to be reminded that Trump hired Fauci for his Covid task force. Any criticism of Fauci is criticism of Trump.
We could accomplish a lot with a much more deadly version of COVID and a much more effective vaccine.
But I also don’t want my right wing friends to just die.
It only takes a few years to birth and grow equivalent new ones.
That gives us 20 years of safety though, enough time to fix shit
But I also don’t want my right wing friends to just die.
No, I hear ya... I, too, think they should suffer first... 🤣
Ah, so the Republicans are the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal. Some things are beginning to make sense now.
Bloo-skee seems a lot like Twitter.
People need a cesspool, that’s what the internet has done to us.
the more we vet her, the cheaper the cost of housing. soon.
