The old addage of "follow the money" is why this shit is being peddled. High IQ, educated holier than thou ivory tower asshats that tout White Goodman's "we're better than you" mantra need to learn the difference between being a parrot and knowing enough to know that you really don't know enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glnqzfPNEzM


So because they're not contagious we shouldn't focus on them as much? I disagree as IMO the societal damage these things do to not only family members but the community at large. The media isn't clamoring all over these things because they haven't yet figured out how to monetize them.

This we 100% agree on.

JD, I haven't been exposed to a more vile pile of nasty spew since wandering around Berkeley University on a Saturday night in the early 1990's. I really can't tell if you're honestly trying to make a joke or believe what you posted. Oh, and thanks for calling me a right-wing goober; it warms my heart. Yes, some of my views are right-wing while some are left wing.

BB, I agree that the numbers are looking better but that doesn't answer my question. Why haven't you jumped on the "we need to rage against the cancer or heart disease machine" bandwagon? One family member and four friends have dealt with covid-19. I know many more that have dealt with cancer and even a handful that have had heart attacks. IMO heart attacks and cancer have fucked up more people than covid-19 but because the media hasn't focused on it society as a whole hasn't jumped on the bandwagon. My best man at our wedding had a heart attack about 5 years ago. He took a couple months off work at a time when he was critically needed. He is restricted for the rest of his life from doing anything physically significant such as wrestle with his dog or go salmon fishing.

Fallacy of relative privation.

Do you really need it explained to you that it's okay to focus on more than one thing? Do you really think that, for example, we should focus 100% or even 50% of our resources on breast cancer over other cancers because it is the most common type of cancer?

There are enormous resources dedicated to heart disease and cancer but these are extremely difficult problems to solve, their solution essentially requiring mastery over mortality.

Stopping covid only means being as competent as a society like Korea or any other country that is managing this. Put on a fucking mask Karen.
