@product as usual, you have no idea what I am about. But in true leftist fashion you want to ascribe my thoughts to me and then treat them with the disdain you created them with. Here’s a thought for you, because you don’t ever really want to hear my actual thoughts but really only want to make them up: My issue is that the reaction to the threat is way overblown and the reaction could be far more damaging than the actual threat.
Example: The Covid vaccines have killed people and have had severely adverse reactions with many more. That doesn’t seem to be enough to stop the government from pushing them. But now we have a variant that has no real similarity to the original strain, except it still shows up on a Covid test. The symptoms are extremely mild and don’t even require medical treatment. The Pharmaceutical companies that make the vaccines have no idea if they will be effective or not. As of last Saturday, they were just starting to evaluate that.
So you have a disease that really presents no serious health issues to the majority of the world, that has no solid information if current treatments for a similar disease will work at all. Yet the immediate reaction is to push vaccines on everyone. Vaccines that have no indication will work at all, yet still bring adverse reactions with them. Why? It certainly isn’t following science. It isn’t even really following common sense.
As for the economic impacts, you already have many countries that have stopped travel from Africa. That happened almost immediately, even though the initial reports were that it was very mild symptoms. So let’s assume that “some precautions should be taken”. Okay, travel was stopped. Yet every one of those countries either already has found cases inside their own borders or fully believe they already have cases. So what good did the “precautions” do? None. The disease already spread. So all the precautions are doing is causing economic harm to the world.
Please note that nowhere in any of these ideas does capitalism come into play. Economic damage is a reality impacting communist, socialist, and capitalistic countries all the same. Yeah, you might stop a couple people, infected with a basically harmless virus, from entering your country, but you are destroying lives in the process.
I have cited endless studies and other official reports that show that masking is useless, that vaccinations continually fall short of the mark they were supposed to hit, and that in many cases natural immunity is far better than vaccinations and is completely ignored by those that want you vaccinated. It is very frustrating that when confronted by facts, so many people follow like lemmings the people that are purposely ignoring those same facts.
