What about the parent's statement provides critical thinking? Would you invest billions in building out ER facilities now? I am curious what is the less-wrong solution to help citizens. Is to increase care for the sick or decrease the likelihood of sickness?

The less-wrong solution to help citizens is to encourage a healthy diet including weight loss, stop spreading FUD, and to implement the MATH+ protocol for those who do fall seriously ill instead of chiding and coercing a clearly hesitant public into taking an experimental therapeutic treatment (that seems to do less than originally promised as the days tick by) and harsh lockdowns. Instead we see the opposite, which has little to do with the best interests of the citizens, including the funneling of tax dollars to Pfizer and the rest. The parent comment highlights that and explains what’s actually going on, despite the narrative provided by <compliant> ”experts.”

  You believe that encouraging Americans to be healthy will work? Has it worked before? In my experience from years in hospitals, the majority of people want less mental and physical health requirements. They want a heart pill or diabetes pill instead of a nutrition-based approach. What would you do in this scenario: as a physician, your patient is at high risk for heart disease, over weight, and above 45 years old. Do you recommend they drastically change their life style and increase routine lab work until improvements are made. Your patient could do nothing and be at risk for a stroke. Your other option is to have them ingest two pills daily to control their symptoms but not the root cause - their lifestyle. A life is in your hands. I’ve witnessed and lived through both scenarios. The majority of the time people want the pills. I am curious how you would solve for modern human ailments. Would you impose a government sanctioned food protocol? Would you let people die who refuse to increase their quality food intake and exercise?

    > You believe that encouraging Americans to be healthy will work? Yes, however it starts with improving the food preparation options and raising food quality. There is horrible stuff in our food - stuff that is outlawed in Europe because it is a known toxin. Something has clearly gone wrong in the US and it’s a pretty patronizing position you have taken to put the blame entirely on the public. The government institutions supposed to be watching out for this stuff have failed, and are likely corrupt. > Would you impose a government sanctioned food protocol? Nah, not needed. This is fixed by a PR campaign and some cultural adjustments. For example, for some reason the media has been promoting “body positivity” in recent years and encouraging unhealthy lifestyles. Those people who actually bought into that idea were set up in a worse position when this kicked off. Probably not promoting bad ideas like that would be a good place to start. The commies will whine that it’s “fascist” or not “big hearted” whatever, though. —- In the end, I guess only people who can see through the lies will survive, and that’s just the game we’re playing now. That doesn’t mean that we should accept living a society where this is normal.
