Let's go even further and mandate psychological and physical tests, to make sure there are fewer deaths.
You never know what goes through someone's head or whether a previous injury will lead to an accident.
I'm only half joking, this could actually help me :D
- merpnderp 5y agoYou know what kills more than COVID? Sugar which causes cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. If we're going to go after COVID for the havoc it causes, there's a long list of similar issues that could be tackled with the same type of mandate. I don't look forward to our health-police state we apparently decided was a great idea. Well we didn't decide, because that would have required congress to pass a law. This was just some old man skipping congress, likely knowing this will be overturned by the Supreme Court, but desperately needing to change the national debate away from Afghanistan.
- bserge 5y agoThe ultimate cause of death is life. 100% mortality rate heh
- TOMDM 5y agoIf people could take a shot or two that massively reduces the risk of sugar induced cancer, diabetes and heart disease they'd be fools not to take it.
- pbaka 5y agoIt's called insulin shots. They're not cheap your side of the Atlantic.
- aruggirello 5y agoWhy not prevent such cancers in the first place? Forbidding sales of sugar, cigarettes, and trash food would go a long way to prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Sh*t happens, you can't have a vaccine for everything.
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoUnfortunately you are going to have a hard time finding scientific agreement on which foods to ban. The science isn’t that good yet.
- ridgeguy 5y agoDownvoted because you assert a simplistic and erroneous equivalence between damage caused by sugar consumption and that caused by a communicable disease. If you eat sugar, you don't endanger others' health. If you don't get vaccinated, you put others at risk. See the difference?
- chickenpotpie 5y agoHeart disease kills more people than covid because heart disease is an umbrella term for thousands of conditions, while covid-19 is one disease. Same for cancer, there are hundreds of types of cancer.
