Long COVID and the moral injury of passively harming others both suck shit. A well fitted respirator mask like an N95 can save a lot of hurt, and every broken chain of transmission is still valuable.
I’ve been getting flu shot every year for 10 years and all my yearly covid shots too. My internet speed is blazing fast.
I still don’t see how getting 5G is seen as a bad thing. Of all the side effects they could come up with, they picked one that is genuinely useful? Come on… They can do better.
Viagra can cause blindness and no one lost dey minds over that.
Is it surging? The article didn’t say anything about a surge in cases
maybe just a swell.
Seems like it may be
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
yeah…fuck those guys. Lie in your bed, pull up a pox blanket.
Hope they all get covid.
A mild case, sure … and somehow their voting status is on file at the hospital. So they suffer at home, coughing for 3 weeks while Mr Jenkins in the next apartment bangs on the walls at all hours because the coughing is keeping him up.
If necessary, you can travel from your slave state to a free state and get it.
fuck that all states are slave states controlled by the same owner class
just because you won the demographic lottery and live in an HOA bubble doesn’t mean the rest of us do or could just hop in car for a day trip
fyi some people have the job to go other states for other people for this reason whole economy of it and that alone shows we need to riot for major reform
Some slave masters want their slaves to be healthy. Some don’t care if a bunch get sick and die.
^ this comment is wild, but I think I’m on board with the riot for major reform
Why is it wild? What did they say that’s wild?
Do you really believe some states are free? Do you really believe blue states aren’t run by corrupt politicians paid by billionaires?
Identify the wild part and articulate why it’s wild.
No no, this part: “just because you won the demographic lottery and live in an HOA bubble doesn’t mean the rest of us do or could just hop in car for a day trip”. A lot of assumptions were made very quickly.
It’s wild because it implies a lot out of OP’s comment that OP didn’t say, but at the same time your frustrations make perfect sense.
The context is what makes it stand out. There absolutely are insensitive people who think the solution to red states’ problems is “just go to a blue state.” I can see why OP’s comment may have triggered a certain defense. However, I didn’t get the “insensitive” vibe from their comment, merely a mention that the vaccines are still available in other states.
It read it not as, “Oh you don’t really have a problem because you can travel,” but rather as a response to how the above article implies that this is a problem nation-wide, even though it actually isn’t. I know, because I just got both the covid and flu shot yesterday and the experience wasn’t any different from other times I’ve received shots. I was looking through the comments specifically to find somebody who pointed this out, as I planned to mention it myself (though I would’ve phrased it differently.)
With all that said, I feel you. It’s absolute bullshit that a luck of the draw means some of us have better access to preventive medicine than others, and it must be frustrating when people chime in with “solutions” that are beyond your means. As if being surrounded by MAGA isn’t bad enough. And to the points in your second comment - you’re absolutely right. The billionaires are the ones behind all of the crap we deal with, regardless of where we happen to live.
Oh, it’s you.
Lemmy makes it super easy to block people
Sometimes I like to be reminded of what stupid people think.
Fair enough
I’d rather the rest of the world see the rebuttals so they know they’re not alone. ;-)
What’s the rebuttal?
Article provides no source for ‘…covid surges…’ ('Im not saying its false, I’m saying where the hell do we get this info now that the CDC is unreliable)

Denis the COVID info guy, on Bluesky or Mastodon
thanks for the sources! My fam is all getting their shots this week
Thank you.
Gut feeling. Or maybe that’s covid…
here let me just get you some raw milk and beef tallow for that…
Is horse paste not good enough anymore?
God keeps sending plagues. I wonder why.
Sorry, I turned the frogs gay.
Edit typos
And most of the deaths are during Trump’s terms. Odd. Almost as if his complete lack of responsible leadership has something to do with it.
It does but he doesn’t give a fuck
Disease isn’t judgement. I know you’re just being flippant, but it’s a line of thinking that grinds on me after having lived through the tail end of the AIDS epidemic.
