Whenever people and the mainstream media talk about “The trauma of COVID” they always mean the lockdowns and not the… you know… millions of deaths.
Well I have trauma about the deaths. I have trauma about the way our society was manipulated into sacrificing a huge chunk of the population with a smile and a wave, and how we just don’t talk about it.
This same society still expects you to be horrified by the violence of 9/11 or whatever when the US alone was experiencing a 9/11 level of death every day and the disease is still killing, we just don’t bother recording the spread anymore. What the fuck is wrong with people?!
I literally get (for lack of a better word) triggered when people talk about how hard it was to have to have to wear a mask or to not get a haircut or some selfish bullshit. Or when they act as though their kids remote learning for a while ruined them or something. It’s all so petty. They just don’t give a shit. They’d kill millions for a haircut. It makes my heart sink, my eyes glaze and I start dissociating.
Imagine if this was the blitzkrieg, and instead of going to bomb shelters people were just like “I’m sick of hearing about these bombings, I’m just going to pretend they’re not happening and leave it up to fate.” And then the bomb shelters are all closed and even the people who still wanted to take shelter are left to fend for themselves. What madness would have that been if they had done that during WW2? Dragging people into the street to be bombed?
I don’t care if you were sick of lockdowns or restrictions! Fighting a pandemic should have been like fighting a war, we should have been doing everything we could to survive!
I am scared of these people. These brainwashed puppets. These eugenicists. If they can do this, well… it makes me feel surrounded by monsters. Like I can’t trust anyone.
but mainly masked. We basically did a very large continental empirical experiment in 2020 vs. 2021-2024 and masks pwn the shit out of vaccines (both are good tho)
Masks will help stop you from catching something, but when you eventually do, having antibodies prepped from the vaccine will significantly reduce viral replication within your cells, and thus reduce symptoms, risk of death, and risk of developing long COVID
I don’t think we need to get in the weeds about this- there are already way too many comfortable with “vax and relax” when what needs to happen is a diligent vaccination program and vigilant masking on the part of the population. There is no good reason for anyone to be unmasked who is not already on the edges of society when mask blocs exist, but every time I offer someone an n95 it’s always the “I have 4 jabs” people who deny me the quickest.
That’s what I said in my first comment
both good, masks better, mainstream is more anti-mask than anti-vax
Everyone I know is convinced that studies completely disproved the effectiveness of masks.
Yup, because that fits in with how they want things to be. With the “experts” as the forerunners of this vibes based pathogen control wtf can even be done.
This post-truth era is going to kill us all. I have no clue how to even fight when the prevailing strategy is “whatever I want to say is true is true”.
studies showed that masks don’t 100% stop infection, which totally ignores the dramatic reduction in viral load through a mask infection, as well as the cumulative effect of everyone wearing masks
