No I listen to independent physicians and surgeons who's credentials are not being held hostage by political juggernauts like the CDC.Then ignore Fauci and listen to the consensus of epidemiologists.
And I bet that when you hear that 9 out of 10 dentists recommend flossing, you say "that tenth dentist must be on to something."No I listen to independent physicians and surgeons who's credentials are not held hostage by political juggernauts like the CDC.
So COVID is "unlethal" in the same sense that cyanide or getting shot are "unlethal."Lethal for me means:
IF e.g. Putin "creates" a missile that is lethal, it means it is lethal for everybody. No pick and choose.
IF you ask a doctor for a lethal injection, you die if you take it. They made it exactly that way, for that purpose (e.g. to kill death row criminals). At least it should be lethal to e.g. 99%, and not like covid, lethal to not even 1%
To be sure I googled it:
It's not about what you want. You already do live in a collective, cooperative society. There is nowhere on the Earth that you can go and NOT depend on a collective, cooperative society of your fellow humans. And, just as you take advantage of them for your well-being, you will be asked by them to act on behalf of their well-being. Calling us "insects" isn't going to change anything, or make your selfishness seem reasonable.You might want to be a drone in a colony or hive.
I don't.
False. You are repeating right wing disinformation.Fauci is a political hack.
Explain what kind of government you want, and be sure to explain why you are fine with "screw thy neighbor" as a moral policy, and as a supposed Christian.Sounds like an ad for socialism. We didn't for a socialistic government.
Where did I say " screw they neighbor?"Explain what kind of government you want, and be sure to explain why you are fine with "screw thy neighbor" as a moral policy, and as a supposed Christian.
Social contract theory is a complex concept. Self-interest, greed, fraud, theft, etc. are easier to understand because the self has a direct benefit. I see too many conservatives completely ignore that the infrastructure they need to live and survive was essentially a socialist approach, how the collective pools resources the whole population can benefit in broad ways. They take too much for granted.You live in a collective, cooperative society with your fellow humans, or you won't live for long. How is it that you can't seem to grasp this?
Your right wing attitude that inaccurately targets socialism. It is anti-Christ. The USA is a mix of Capitalism and Socialism. The democrats are not advocating for classic Socialism, so we know you are using a bad set of premises when you refer to socialism.Where did I say " screw they neighbor?"
How? Prove it.The mandates are hurting way more neighbors than they ever helped.
The vaccine was never a cure. It is a way to help our bodies fight the virus so it spreads less and is less deadly. You won't see that on FOX even though they all accept it asa true.The vaccine is maybe 30 percent effective and most people are going to get covid regardless. It's just reality. Time to get back to normal.
Why do you keep talking about fox? I never mentioned them at all.Your right wing attitude that inaccurately targets socialism. It is anti-Christ. The USA is a mix of Capitalism and Socialism. The democrats are not advocating for classic Socialism, so we know you are using a bad set of premises when you refer to socialism.
How? Prove it.
So you think wearing a mask while in a store is worse than you being at risk of death if you are exposed to Covid?
Mandates are aimed to help a broad range of citizens and interests. Keeping people in jobs well and a reduced exposure to a deadly virus means they can stay at work. When people get sick they often lose at least a week of work. How does that help anyone? How many people did they expose before they knew they god sick? How many of them will lose work? How much money will a business ess lose because so many workers are out sick?
This is why FOX news required ALL of their employees in their news and broadcast locations be vaccinated. Did you know that? Meanwhile their pundits are calling Fauci a criminal and the vaccines are unsafe and that mandates are fascism.
The vaccine was never a cure. It is a way to help our bodies fight the virus so it spreads less and is less deadly. You won't see that on FOX even though they all accept it asa true.
I mentioned FOX as an example of their hypocrisy, and you repeating what FOX spreads as disinformation puts you in the same category.Why do you keep talking about fox? I never mentioned them at all.
The pandemic has killed many businesses. There are many reasons, but having sick employees and sick customers was never an alternative that would save the businesses. Just bad luck.The mandates have killed numerous small businesses.
A pandemic isn't going to have a one size fits all solution. It really forced nations all over the world to make hard choices, but the biggest priority was to save lives. All you have shown an interest in saving is businesses. And you're supposedly Christian?Maybe they benefit mask and glove companies but not the little guys. And most people don't function well locked at home, which never helped them anyway. What we need is excersise and sunlight not isolation and depression.
Small businesses like mine had a ton of assistance, loans, business tax extensions, extra unemployment options even when sole proprietors, etc etc. What's been closing businesses (including the one that I left at the beginning of the pandemic) is growing incentives to choose no work over accepting unlivable wages. Especially ones who weren't taking safety considerations seriously.Why do you keep talking about fox? I never mentioned them at all.

Bs.False. You are repeating right wing disinformation.
What I advocate for certainly is.It's not about what you want.
There are extreme degrees of cooperation.You already do live in a collective, cooperative society. There is nowhere on the Earth that you can go and NOT depend on a collective, cooperative society of your fellow humans.
You sound like a neo-liberal in voicing these concerns that everyone is basically selfish and acting on selfish impulses. The dog is a far greater threat to the child who still has cake than the child who's already ate a share of cake.I agree. But our societies got too big for that sort of automatic altruism to be maintained. It became too easy to screw the other guy to advantage ourselves without having to live in close proximity to that other guy the rest of our life. Or for him to tell everyone else we live in close proximity to war we did. As our societies grew, we needed to create governing entities to protect us from each other. And that is still their main function.
Screw thy neighbors is not taking a highly contagious and deadly pandemic seriously. You're actions effect others, amd when too many people have your mentality the hospitals suffer which means everyone suffers.Where did I say " screw they neighbor?"
The mandates are hurting way more neighbors than they ever helped.

Is it, or do we need a better understanding of what rights are? In California mandates haven't been well enforced. But in New Zealand people tended to stick with it.And the pandemic response issue lands squarely under that purview of that governmental responsibility.
We are social animals and will generally act in prosocial ways
It's a bio-psychosocial term that describe positive behaviors that enforce group cohesion. Or, the opposite of anti-social. And we see even non-human social animals displaying prosocial behaviors while shunning anti-social behaviors.So, I have to try remember this term 'prosocial,' because I think it's going to become sort of the term that's going to receive the most work, and application, if this century is to be survived.
