@tshirtman@mas.to @croissant@zeroes.ca "COVID skeptics" in the initial phases of the pandemic were 1) well funded and 2) tasked with creating the conditions necessary to get people back to work. The ruling class has known since April/May 2020 that vaccines wouldn't work well bc coronaviruses evolve too quickly, but infra/healthcare was against their ideology so 🤷‍♂️ It's why govt/rich people have advanced air-cleaning systems and UV222 installed, but schools/public hospitals do not.

@tshirtman@mas.to @croissant@zeroes.ca If you ever want nightmare fuel, read the op-eds by Great Barrington ghouls and their affiliated centrist boosters about how we should "infect all kids" to "create herd immunity" (we knew wasn't possible, btw) and "sacrifice the weak" to "get the economy back on track". Truly reads like a manifesto of some psycho killer in a bleak dystopian crime thriller. (those are not quotes from the pieces; they were far more circumspect and polite than to say that stuff *out loud*)

@johnzajac@dice.camp @tshirtman@mas.to @croissant@zeroes.ca Exactly. One only has to look at the infrastructure installed in e.g. WHO headquarters or virus security around meetings like DAVOS to know that the lies are only being fed to those who need to keep the capitalist machinery turning.

@johnzajac@dice.camp @tshirtman@mas.to @croissant@zeroes.ca I call them the #ReOpeners because they said they just wanted to "reopen the economy".
