@unreasonable-man.bsky.social not communism but clearly anti capitalism. How is big pharma making bank? The government is paying them. We don't have a choice.
1
@unreasonable-man.bsky.social yes, that is anti capitalism as now the government is dictating the economy as opposed to a free market. " I don't see you raising that objection when they dump obscene amounts of money into the weapons industry. Oh, right. For you people, communism is when the government does something you don't like." It is more complicated then that. To start, what weapons' industry? As for this vaccine, there is push to strip people of their freedoms if they do not take the vaccine.

@LittleAl016 you have no clue what capitalism is.
1
@LittleAl016 one, who is Hakim? Next, each point 1. Boom or bust cycles is not a bad thing. With a boom you have people do better. With a bust that is a part of the evolution of a successful economy. 2. This guy makes sense on the profit argument. 3. On infinite growth, one advantage of capitalism is the ability to make use of limited resources. Look at your smart phone. Consider how it is a computer, camera, radio, phone, etc. all wrapped up on one. So instead of buying those big, bulky things individually, you have it all in the palm of your hand. 4. How does a "capitalist" gets a profit? By providing to the consumer. From there this guy is not too bright.
1
@LittleAl016 so you do not know who he is. Also, on his point of infinite growth, again, capitalism has led to better usage of our resources.
1
@LittleAl016 so you will just blindly listen to some random person? I pointed out how he is wrong.
1
@LittleAl016 boom and bust cycles are not bad. If you have a boom you, at times, have no where to go but down. The issue is how we get out of busts. The two (and by the looks of it now a third) times it took the longest to get out of a bust were after the great depression and great recession. In both cases there was mass push by government first by FDR and then by Obama. As for growth, capitalism gets the most usage out of resources. That is why we have phones in our hands that has more computing power than what put a man on the moon. So this whole idea there is no infinite growth is simply not true.
1
@LittleAl016 so I am not interested in making society better because I do not want to listen to some random person compared to listening to an expert?
1
@LittleAl016 what makes Hakim an expert? Also, the private sector developed cell phones.
1
@LittleAl016 uh, no. It is because of the private market why cell phones are the way they are.

She isn't wrong. This went from "2 weeks to flatten the curve" to "take the jab or you will not have freedoms". There is also so much information that is not being presented. One is that long term immunity is developed after infection, but you do not hear that from the CDC and Fauci. It is just pushing of a lot of fear.
1
@starsoflight because what this is doing is creating fear and division in our nation to control us, the average person. That is a direction towards communism. And if you do not want to call it that, it is a direction to control us where the elites become more powerful. Doesn't it alarm you that with covid it went from "2 weeks to flatten the curve" to "take this new vaccine without question or you will lose your freedoms"?
1
@starsoflight there is a lot of push and that should be alarming. Why the strong push? Especially if you were infected you are now immune.
1
@starsoflight if you were infected you are now immune. Why not, at least, push that so the vaccine can be distributed globally to those who need/want it? Also, with how our leaders acted, including violating their own covid protocols, and not caring about people suffering from substance abuse, why trust them? It is disturbing people just blindly, and quickly trust the government.
1
@starsoflight I feel the vaccine is safe, however, during this time our leaders gave us a lot of misinformation and even violated their own covid protocols. Biden signs a 100 day mask mandate on day one of his presidency. That same night he was at the Lincoln Memorial, with his grandkids none of them wearing a mask nor social distancing. Or on day two of Biden's presidency he coughed in his hand while giving an announcement. Starting signing documents, with that same hand, and handed them to a young assistant while not wearing a mask. It are issues like that in why people like me don't want to take the vaccine.
1
@starsoflight also, there is mountains of evidence that the virus is not that dangerous. And again, long term immunity is developed after infection. Those pushing the vaccine are not bringing that up. It sets up a dangerous standard to just blindly take something any person in power says. While this vaccine is safe, what about future shots?
1
@unreasonable-man.bsky.social one can easily argue that vaccines increase the number of variants. The reason why is you created a medication that the virus now needs to adapt to and those that do are a new variant.
1
@unreasonable-man.bsky.social there is evidence of long term immunity. Along with that, people were immune of covid 19 if they were infected with SARS 1. With the vaccine, with it being so new, we do not know the long term implications on issues such as covid evolving to it. Besides, the variants are not any more deadlier. With the delta one cases are still low. People are freaking out over nothing.
1
Yeah, doubt it.
1
@danielrichardson3038 be careful, you are using their lord Fauci's name in vain. You are going to hurt their feelings.
1
@1369Stiles you have little understanding of science. Why doesn't Fauci talk about long term immunity that is developed after infection? Besides, there are two things. One, the fact that so many on the left blindly followed this guy with no question is very disturbing. You guys are literal sheeps. Even if he is completely right, you should still question him, his knowledge, his motives, etc. Next, Fauci has done nothing but fearmonger. He gave no positive news to show that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. With a "pandemic" yes, there will be tough times. But with his position he should give positive news at times to keep people motivated as it shows there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Him not doing that is why so many tuned out on what he says and why so many are not taking the vaccine. At the very least he needs to learn how to market better.
1
@1369Stiles also, with Fauci, it shows has bad government can be. Should he be in charged of the institution he is? He is a "scientist/doctor", not an expert at leadership. This is similar to when Trump picked DeVos to be in charge of the Department of Ed. Many were saying "she was never a teacher". Ok, well good thing she is not going to be teaching. Her expertise will be in leadership, in management. That requires different skills than teaching. Same Fauci, his expertise was being a doctor, not a manager/leader. So it shows how poor government can be in picking leaders.
1
@1369Stiles information does not change that much. Also, you saying "we are having to learn on the fly with this virus, which means changes when new information in learned......SCIENCE bitch" But yet, you are willing to take a vaccine that is new? Also, if the virus was this new and so much about it was unclear, why was a vaccine developed so quickly? The reality is that this virus was never that new. There was a lot known about it. We knew since May 2020 that it was never that dangerous to justify what we did. Fauci just fearmongered all the time which is why so many now ignore him. At the very least he sucks at marketing.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 this virus was never that new. That is why a vaccine was developed so quickly. This virus was "new" in the sense that a baby is new to the human species. There are some minor differences, but well over 99% of that baby is known. Same with this virus.
1
@stev838 leftists are not independent. The past 4 years showed that, especially recently. When the leftist elites in media, corporations and politicians said "scary virus, hide", they did. Leftists did while those elites were making bank. Remember, Pelosi was showing off her ice cream collection while millions suffered. And what did people like Matt say? Nothing.
1
It is not a conspiracy, there are legit concerns out there. The fact that many on the left just blindly follow and obey the government without question is not good. With covid this went form "2 weeks to flatten the curve" to "take the jab or you will lose freedoms". This is even with long term immunity existing from those who were infected. But no talks about that. It does no concern you that the government pushed covid so hard, and the vaccine as well?
1
@unreasonable-man.bsky.social again, the legit concerns are that this went from "2 weeks to flatten the curve" to "take the vaccine or you will lose rights". Some states/cities are pushing for vaccine passports. Along with talks of the vaccines there is no talks about long term immunity that one develops after vaccination. Why don't our leaders say "if you were infected you can hold off on taking the vaccine while we distributed globally to those that want/need it"? That will be a way better marketing tool. As for the lockdowns, many businesses were closed down forever now. Gyms were closed down, schools were closed down. Sure, you may have been fine with it, but many weren't. This virus was never that dangerous to justify what we did. "No one is discussing natural immunity because letting the disease run rampant until we reach that point is not acceptable. Too many would die, and the risk of mutation would be too high." The virus will mutate anyways and one can argue that a vaccine actually increases immunity. Also, Dr. Makary of John Hopkins argued natural immunity and he was heavily criticized. Since the second week of January cases dropped fast even with a low vaccination rate. That was because of natural immunity. One can easily argue that we should have protected our vulnerable that want to be protected and let it spread. That is why Sweden did and they ended this all quickly. A vaccine was never guaranteed and one can argue that natural immunity is actually better than the vaccine. Also, one can argue the lockdowns did more damaged. Substance abuse deaths went up because of the lockdowns. What we did was a complete failure by almost all objective measures. But the government keeps pushing it. Now the scary talk is of the delta variant.
1
@unreasonable-man.bsky.social also, bringing up natural immunity gives a light at the end of the tunnel. It is positive news. The constant negative news chases people away. That is why so many are not taking the vaccine and were not following the rules. When you are just negative people tune out.
1
@unreasonable-man.bsky.social how am I a traitor? Meanwhile, people like you just obeyed the overlords without question.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 deaths of covid are vastly overstated. Almost all would be dead anyways in the same timeframe. Also, look up Baader–Meinhof phenomenon. That is another reason why covid deaths are so high. It is a false illusion due to looking so hard for it. As for hospitals being overcrowded, substance abuse went up. How many people's lives were ruined via that? A University of TX psychiatrist said in his 35 years of treating patients he never experienced a shortage of SSRIs. We saw it this year because mental illness was up. So you have to factor that in. The lockdowns did way more harm. People can't stay home. Someone needs to produce. That is why inflation is so up. Government is giving people money for producing nothing. It is all going to catch up with us. "You don't care about deaths from depression, suicide or substance abuse, otherwise you wouldn't oppose providing services for those people." Actually I support those programs as I use them myself. You don't. Like most leftists, you do not care about deaths unless they are a gun related death or covid death. You don't care that deaths via substance abuse went up the past year. As long as they don't die of covid that is all you care about.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 again, there is long term immunity after infection with covid. Why isn't the CDC and Fauci, or our politicians talk about that? Here is a thought, you tell those people there is no rush to take vaccine. That would allow for better distribution, globally, to those who want/need the vaccine. But you don't care about those individuals, just yourself.
1
How so? Capitalism is not the problem.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 what is wrong with profit motives? If you work a job you are profiting yourself.
1
@LittleAl016 do, if employers were trying to pay a little as possible almost everyone would be earning the min. wage. They aren't. So right away your theory blows up in your face.
1
You do know Congress controls the budget?
1
@LittleAl016 Biden is now president. Why doesn't he do it?
1
@j0j0dartiste21 again, who controls the budget? Congress.
