I suspect a lot of governments quietly believe it potentially originated in a Chinese weapons lab. Such a belief would explain their panic, regardless of its accuracy, and it's also something they would never openly admit to for fear of creating even greater public turmoil.

a twisted, gross version of the chat boards from Ender's Game and Neuromancer caused Donald Trump to get elected POTUS. i am also a hot cyb0rg waifu. i'd say we entered cyberpunk proper some time ago now. engineered bioweapons are definitely possible; they arent even fictional tech.

Covid barely kills more people than a bad flu season.

Wrong.gif, but why go down this rabbit hole you know how i feel weve had this same conversation 100 times.

You and I see somethings differently. Like literally. Like you'll extrapolate things that I wouldn't to justify your argument and I will extrapolate things that you wouldn't to justify mine from the same exact data.

One of is is right, neither of us are going to convince each other because we're extrapolating from the same data. Just coming do different conclusions. And since we've ahd this exact discussion already if I didnt convince you before I aint gonna now! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I encourage you to think more about this. You still didn't answer the question. Don't cop out. Let's say for the sake of argument, every single covid death is 100% attributable to covid and nothing else. 250k. And you might say it would be a lot higher than that if not for masking, social distancing and lockdowns. Well a simple way to test that is to look at places that did not lock down. The dakotas didn't, florida has lifted all covid restrictions for about two months now, and Sweden never locked down at all. They do not have alarmingly higher rates of death.

Now consider the collateral effects of locking down. Small businesses, restaurants, bars, mom and pop stores have been forced to permanently close as a result. Those are human beings with families. Is this worth it? Is this response justified when you consider those people? It's ironic because now everybody is buying from big box corporations. Amazon is getting rich as hell, walmart, target, google. The left used to be opposed to these things. Apparently now it is punk rock and rebellious to make rich people richer and poor people poorer! Also depression, suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction are all way up. These all tax the medical infrastructure as well. It's a really simple cost\benefit analysis, and I'm asking you why you think the cost is worth the benefit with regard to covid.

It's easy to just lap up whatever daddy media tells you is correct and not question it, but nothing is ever that simple, and when you think critically and skeptically about what is happening it makes less and less sense.

Dude you are honestly just like a bad person. All forum shit talking aside, I wouldn’t usually call someone a bad person but based on all of your comments you are really just that. You’re a selfish, self interested individual who parrots right wing shit and has no consideration for anyone who has been harmed (or will be harmed) by the downplaying and politicization from people like you and your misinformation-providing sources.

You are honestly just a bad person.

It's like the fire department is letting a house burn because when they got there it was too late, it was totally engulfed so they just have to contain it.

But you, the person holding the matches, who refused to call the fire department because you thought the fire would burn itself out, is like "why are you not putting the fire out!?! how could you be so stupid!?!"

I just made an eternal angel with super-worldly power fall on its face and worship me.

Never ever ever ever ever accept sin. Ever. From anything.

Right is right.
Wrong is wrong.
Two wrong's don't make a right.

Never accept sin at ANY level.
