I watched Contagion again the other day. Made in 2011. It was amazing how they represented the anti-vaxxers versus how this shit has actually gone down.

Most anti-vaxxers are relying on anecdotal evidence and pseudo-science as a basis for their opinions. I decided a long time ago to stop arguing with them, and started suggesting they search for peer-reviewed scientific research, instead.

At any rate, most Americans have now either had COVID, the vaccinations, or a combination of the two - and we are as resistant to it as we're ever going to be - so there's no need to argue about it. It is nowhere near as life-threatening as it was.

But this was all built on the backs of an egregious number of folks who died that didn't have to. And no one is remembering them.

While I did the vaxx and COVID thing, good argument could be made that we need a pretty severe reduction in population before this whole thing goes sideways. We are destroying our planet at an alarming rate, and I'm not even talking about global warming or climate change or whatever they call it next. Future wars will be fought over simple resources like clean drinking water and tillable land. We polute almost every major body of water/water source and create enormous landfills full of bullshit we really didn't need. Technological waste is growing exponentially because large tech companies want to sell you new devices each year, and the process for recycling old tech is grossly insufficient.

Don't even start on lobbying and term limits either.

Shits fucked.
