Collision ResistanceNew Covid wave has begun and masks should be worn again, scientists warn
DragonTypeWyvernCloth masks were always supposed to be a stopgap measure until vaccines or increased N95 production was available.
People will not mask up again, and quite frankly, shouldn’t have to, especially if they’re not going to use ones that are actually effective.
The pharma companies jacked up the price of the vaccines knowing future waves were coming and yearly boosters would be necessary.
My point is: whether you think people should mask up again or not, it’s just not going to happen, but the actual paths forward, either mandatory vaccinations or at least cheap and readily accessed shots for the willing won’t happen either without government intervention.
That’s weird. My girlfriend got another booster yesterday in Canada for free.
Someone is paying for it. The manufacturer is not just giving it away for free. That means your taxes are going towards it.
Oh no my taxes are being spent to save lives?! The horror!!
This might be a wild take, but your taxes shouldn’t be subject to profiteering just because it’s to save lives. They should instead, at a minimum, be subject to reasonable price caps to combat racketeering.
How’s that boot taste?
BraveSirZaphodThat isn't contradictory with what that person said.
Things have costs, even things that are free at point-of-service. Often, those costs are worth it. It's not as if they said that any use of tax money for any purpose is a horror.
Oh shit, blast from the past. Haven’t heard this libertarian talking point in a while.
Every time someone gets a free beer, the libertarians point out that there is no such thing as free beer. Except that’s not true: They don’t mind free beer usually, it’s almost always some social program that’s “not free”. Hey guess what: Everybody already knows that vaccines do not grow on trees. No need to explain this. Libertarians just hate social programs because they are selfish pricks rugged individuals.
