It wasn’t all medical professionals that behaved badly. The flip side of their bad policies is now taking it to the other extreme and ignoring logic. Some powerful bureaucrats and one ideology gave science a bad name. Likewise the other side of the discussion is just as extreme . We were screwed when it became a political game.
“On my side”
Every year there are a lot of people who get the flu, but never go to the doctor and get a diagnosis. I "got" influenza for the first time in my 40's. But I had been sick and didn't go to the doctor many, many times before that.
I was referring to my side of the political aisle. I think there should be only one side of the health debate and IMO 98% of Drs are on the same side on the retrospective studies of COVID now. Bad policy was instituted partly due to ignorance and partly due to political motives and it’s poisoned the well for many people. A healthy dose of skepticism can be a good thing but swearing off of the advice now from 98%+ of Drs is just crazy.
There is also only one side of the political aisle:
There's a lot of money to be made by keeping people on one side or another. Internet algorithms alone prove that to be the case. I have a Republican friend who has moved from the right to the extreme right over the last 10 years. It's the oddest thing. The other day he told me that he gets all of his news from Twitter and Facebook because he can't trust anything else. I asked him how that worked and he said, the app just gives him stories to click on and he (in his words) "goes down a rabbit hole clicking on story after story...."
One bad part about politicizing something is that when there are legitimate concerns to be discussed, a large section of people won't even want to hear about it because it's pro-this and anti-that. A healthy dose of skepticism is a good thing and it should be used whenever someone you like is doing the talking, not just when it's the other "side".
Most people I know just doubled down after covid and use a doctor that thought/thinks the same regarding covid. These people would never switch now.
Which is their choice. And I wholeheartedly support their right to make that choice.
Yeah, if it weren't for all these toxins considerably shortening lifespans from, say, what they were in the 1940s, Social Security would be going broke and Congress would be considering raising the retirement age to keep it solvent.
I like the ones that will say….yeah! But the President got his shot on TV! Like they know what was in that syringe….Jesus.
Um no. That’s not how it works. If anything the Drs I know will be the first to blow the whistle if something isn’t right.
you are complicit in furthering our sham "republic" and lining the oligarchs' pockets with money and power
Run along Fauci. Nobody cares.
That’s cool! You used your mom’s college nickname as your handle. She’d be impressed
So what’s your solution? I agree that lots of politicians are corrupt. What do you do?
Simple: zero votes cast next cycle
Alternatively: “we” grow and raise as much food as possible and source within the community for the rest
I'd give you a like kong, but we're not supposed to talk politics on here.
If anything, my post was anti-politics
Do you think even 1 of your points is feasible? Of course not.
Yes, all. If the people weren’t too scared/stupid to wield our power.
Gubmint is NOT on our side. Pharma is NOT on anyone’s side… their primary motivation, for a long time now, has been their own personal gain.
Yes, or they’re naive to the fact that we’re completely f*cked until we destroy the two-party system, and find a sure fire way to eliminate the whole concept of career politicians. We’ve already lost our Republic, already a quasi-socialist state. We’re an oligarchy. The only possibly result on our current trajectory is more and more (and more) income redistribution. Covid accomplished A LOT in that regard. It’s already a vicious cycle, and getting worse every year. Only solution is somehow (dramatically) turning Gubmint on its head.
Saw Kentucky is proposing adding a new requirement for license renewals for nurses, any thoughts from your friends in the medical field?
The theory behind capitalism is that companies and individuals will fulfill consumer needs and demand due to their selfish profit motives. Government has gone astray. Businesses have always been run to make money no matter how altruistic some might think a particular company might be.
