I came here because I was tired of seeing this garbage on reddit all the time. How long are you going to let yourself be scared?
lol what a stupid fucking take.
The government could announce a volcano evacuation and you stupid fucks would be like “how long are you babies gonna be scared?” as you walk into the burning hot lava.
Fucking ridiculous.
Wow, I sound tough? Thanks lol. No one’s ever said that to me.
Ah damn! lol my bad, I’m a bit dim.
I stopped washing my vegetables years ago. How long you babies gonna be scared of salmonella and pesticides.
the irony of saying that and having a comment history filled with anti-covid misinformation is just a chef's kiss amount of projection
Oh? Please point out the information I posted for reference. I’m not sure what you mean.
So who do you think is behind this? Big mask?
Very telling that you refer to being intelligent and knowledgeable about global crises as “being scared.”
How long are you gonna keep your head in the sand?
That's right, I'm not scared of the Woke Lung Virus
At least typhoid Mary didn't know she was carrying typhoid
millions dead, millions more permanently disabled, and you can't even comprehend the notion that it was all preventable. advocating for further deaths+disabilities and justifying it as fear is beyond stupid - it's bloodthirsty membership in a death cult.
I'm not sure. Perhaps until we devise an effective preventative vaccine or, at least, a working strategy to prevent long Covid?
What do you suggest instead?
How dramatic. I don't think people are generally still scared of this. It's been part of our lives for a few years now.
Normal people see this and go "Hmm, I'll keep some N95s around in case there's a notable uptick in people gettin' sick this flu season." Meanwhile, some people, such as yourself, seem to have a negative knee-jerk reaction to anything in the news related to COVID, and then proceed to get shit upon by the community when you bitch about it; their knee-jerk reaction is to immediately assume you're a right-winger and call you out on it (they've done it to a couple other people in here). While I don't think that's a fair assumption off the cuff, I can see how they'd jump to that.
How absolutely moronic. Hey, malaria has been around since Ancient times. How long are you going to let yourself be scared of that? Go to the nearest swamp and see if you can attract some mosquitoes, bro.
