For all the pro-lockdown/pro-maskers/pro-vaccine mandates who keep on complaining about the time their neighbor is an anti-vax flat earther, some Karen at the bar who wasn't wearing a mask once, or how if we just did a "real lockdown" this would all be over... can you point to one single country in the world that has "solved" covid? No? Then stfu with the totalitarian shit that doesn't work. It's just an endless sequence of "country X is doing this and doing so well" followed by "oh shit, turns out it got them too."
Covid is everywhere. It's in animals (cats/dogs/deer and probably porcupines or whatever else) and will spread to humans again even if aliens come with healing rays to instantly remove it from all humans today. It's spreading in highly vaccinated countries like Ireland, Gibraltar, and Singapore. It's on islands like New Zealand and Taiwan. We'll never get rid of it, and it's foolish to sacrifice years of our life in fear and surrender our freedom for a pointless and impossible goal so that the state and corporations can further enslave us. And this isn't space ebola. We have good medical options for avoiding death. Some 85 year old died? Tough shit, we all die eventually. That's a pretty good run, and it's worth coming to terms with your own mortality, what makes a life meaningful, and how to make the most of our finite existeence. It's not worth upending the world to cater to the paranoia and the most sickly among us who will pass away probably in the next 6 months anyway--if not by covid then by whatever else. That's antithetical to a life well lived.
If highly compliant and conscientious societies and advanced countries like Japan, Singapore, and Germany can't eradicate this, what hope is there for the rest of the world? You think places like Haiti, India, or Sudan have any chance? What are you going to do, ban international travel forever? Even with testing, masks, and vaccines, omicron entered Europe and the US.
Some of us came to this conclusion 1+ year ago looking at the data and how this spread. Others apparently aren't there yet but need to be reminded. There's been this stupid "if only people would just {wear a mask/lockdown/social distance/get vaccinated} we'd finish covid!" nonsense repeated for the last 2 years, and somehow they keep looking for the next miracle after the previous failed promises. If the covid doomers really cared about health and saving lives, I'm sure they'd have spend the last 2 years exercising, loosing weight, stop drinking and smoking instead of complaining about others and trying to throw humanity in prison. The stupidity needs to stop.
