Coronavirus

dude all i was talking about was the bizarre conflicts of interest / blatant pay for play that exists in particularly the US healthcare system.

OK, sorry for introducing something unrelated to what you were talking about, if you say so. But, as I was sorta saying at the time, over and above all of that, over and above what you’re saying, there was a response by the American public that reflected the divisions in our society, the non-civic, selfish nature of which, surprised me at the time. Forgive me for making that point in a reply to you. The Rosie the Riveter reference was just to point out what American civic mindedness looked like in a far more united era than the one were living through presently.

Geez, just rechecked, my reply was not a direct reply to your remarks. Inspired by them, no doubt, yes, but not a direct reply, and what I did post, regarding an example of a well known civic minded selfless response at a critical time in American history, compared to the initial response to CDC recommendations for Covid, is relevant to the thread subject. If of no interest to anyone, that I can appreciate, I don’t expect everyone to be interested in the same angles of this subject that I am, but my comments were still relevant within this thread, whether anyone or no one is interested in the point I raised…..

I believe we as Americans can all agree that cancer is bad. Can't think of anything else we would all agree about.

And yes, our medical system is ridiculous.

So Joe declared that Covid was over and he defeated it. Now he's asking for another couple billion dollars for a new vaccine "one that works" lol because there's a slight variation from the Omicron strain. You know it makes sense

There are many people who have benefitted from cancer. It has given new hope to people who had taken life for granted. It has forged stronger bonds between friends and relatives. Some patients have met their soul mates in the hospital.

Cancer can be good.



Apologies for the dark humor. I do know people who believe that slave’s lives improved compared to their lives in Africa

How can you not understand at his? Viruses evolve. Vaccines are adjusted. Happens all the time. Every flu season for example.
