Some immunocompromised people can get the vax, for others it's not recommended or but very effective. Same as with other vaccines.

And yet the right wing gets so offended about (*checks the picture up top*) making fun of cops.

It's pretty fucking bad.

The Israeli government directly aided the terrorist attack that killed over 1000 people. They're not protecting their citizens. Leveling Gaza doesn't protect shit. They're not changing their policies. They are a disaster both for the Israeli and Palestinian people.

It's not a "conspiracy theory", they outright said (over and over and over) that we need to stop COVID lockdowns, masking, etc and "get back to normal" for the sake of the economy. This wasn't some secret and it was not that long ago! The concern was more about the impact on the economy, on whether the line went up or down, than on human lives. (Random sampling of articles: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.)

COVID hasn't gone away and it's still killing people, even with vaccines. (Sure would help if people would take the vaccines, though.)

The only material difference between now and 2020 is we have some handle on this thing, it's not completely overwhelming our health care system and it's better understood in general so we can treat and prevent it better.

(Edit: actually there's a second material difference. The disease is much deadlier now than it was at the start of this. )

However, there's also a difference in that three (or four) years have passed. The opposition to measures against COVID has largely won--the people calling the shots decided to join the war on disease on the side of the disease.

We can do this, though! We could do something about it. During the COVID lockdowns we actually (accidentally) wiped out multiple entire strains on the Flu! They're dropping one of the strains from the Flu shot because it doesn't exist anymore (in the wild at least). However, i worry it could go the other way as well. If this attitude about COVID takes hold in general we could make disease worse for everyone.

Here's a long article that talks about this: https://johnsnowproject.org/insights/endemic-sars-cov-2-and-the-death-of-public-health/

It's definitely a low grade troll.

They also aren't going to wait until they're 17 to do sex stuff, i promise. Not all of them, at least.

I saw the Ferrari and the plane immediately but not the tank. I guess camo works sometimes even if it's in a stupid environment for it.

Well yeah the second comment doesn't have anything unusual about it...

A lot of that is down to colonial meddling, though obviously not all of it.

Asian countries get in on this kind of thing, too. Try being Asian-but-not-Chinese in China or even Singapore.

Yeah, whiteness is all about who isn't white so it doesn't make sense for it to exist without people who aren't. The Irish, Italians, and Jews are all just some demographic shifts away from being not-white.

Yeah i straight up said it to my mother's face when she pulled that on me one (several) time(s) too many. She got real mad about it but she chilled out a little. Toxic nonsense.
