- bugglebeetle 2y agoYeah and we’re also going to end up with decades worth of dead and disabled people to end this willful ignorance/malicious stupidity. The “COVID is over” crowd already demonstrated this. Bad ideas rarely die until all or most of the people who have them do. And even then, only sometimes!
- immibis 2y agoThis is downvoted because it is true but inconvenient. Humans tend to prioritize feelings over facts - just like with handwashing, "if this were true, I'd have killed people, therefore it is not true."
