Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

From the article:
edit: least genocidal kkkrakkker state
I mean, it is better news then “kills healthy young people”.
Obviously better nobody die, but better if someone dies a few months early than a few decades early.
Completely false choice you're illustrating. The older people you're describing would live on for decades without COVID exposure.
They are going to die because your country doesn't have the social consciousness to wear mask, at minimum, during the winter surges.
You are giving credit to fascist eugenics over the bare minimum collective action. It's extremely easy to wear an aura N95 Mask. Other countries do it very easily which is why families aren't dropping like flies.
American nurses don't even wear masks anymore, I've personally seen COVID positive patients assigned rooms with uninfected patients. After infection these people go from stable health to rapid decline from organ damage.
The same way you probably wouldn't have had a heart attack until 2070 if you didn't take repeated blunt force trauma to the chest for 2 weeks this year.
Agree, but I’d be saying the same thing about Japan.
What gets me is that how can average, supposedly for human rights, supposedly progressive people read this and be like "ok, fair enough".
I wish it was clearer that being able-bodied is not a state anyone can just expect to be all their life. And that, no, it really mostly isn't about anyones individual choices.
These public health guys are all just absolute ghouls. When you start to look at the things pubic health is for and who it benefits, it's just crystal clear. Neoliberalism really found a home in public health too, they were the first to adapt bs like nudging. It's vile.
And never will these guys be held accountable for any of this. If anyone deserves the wall it's these guys.
They want to get back to brunch and resume their Disney vacation and cruise ship schedules.
Liberals sure do love their eugenics
Wow, that makes me feel so much better about how Covid has and is being handled in the US
