Some COVID minimizers keep saying we can ignore COVID because we have vaccines. Not only is that untrue because layers of protections are most effective, but due to the end of the public health emergency, and greed of pharma companies, many people can't even afford the vaccines.
A common minimizer statement is that COVID isn't a big deal anymore because "we have the tools." I'm sorry but we DON'T "have the tools" unless critical public health resources like vaccines, masks, tests, and healthcare are free and accessible to EVERYONE.
@luckytran and strong public health advice and possibly mandates would be needed to get people to use the tools at this stage
@luckytran With millions kicked off medicaid, one assumes they probably have no insurance now. So, they have no access to any of the so called tools. Heartbreaking and ironic in a country that's pushing to be a Christian theocracy.
@Shan_is_sweet @luckytran or just a plain old Nazi plutocracy where the poor, disabled, the aged, the houseless, the incarcerated are all high on the roster for expedited death.
@luckytran but hey man, the poor can just die they can either force people to birth more or import more so why the hell should the rich & powerful care?
