Oh, no. Reality..


So now knowing that the vaccines do not prevent transmission are you self isolating until such technology is widespread? Or do you still go about your life murdering old people?


Or maybe isolating was the policy before a vaccine came out to reduce mortality of Covid. Which it does.

Containment is useful. Why ? Because it reduces the number of contacts between infected people and healthy people likely to contract the disease.
After you can emphase with "mass societal blahblah+fear" this is buzzwords playschool and it's sad. Honestly.


When you lock down society you incur significant costs. The economy suffers, education stops, and all sorts of mental and physical health issues crop up. All of these things are bad in isolation, but all together, it's a catastrophe. In exchange, you get fewer immediate cases of whatever disease you were trying to save society from. The cost benefit analysis weighs the long-term health and economic costs of lockdowns, versus the long-term health and economic costs of not locking down. What makes the pro-lockdown case so damning is that you cannot prevent the transmission of the virus for long. Everyone is (and effectively did) get the virus in the end. You're banking on the benefits of preventing immediate (emphasis added) infections outweighing all of the bad, accepting that people will eventually contract and die from the virus anyway.

You made such a bullshit tirade that you forgot what would happen in case of ICU capacity overload/collapse. I'm not here to micro-manage that, please make the effort.

LOL i only beat cancer twice :)


And yet you still carry yourself like a petulant child who wants the whole world to bow to your beck and call. One would think two brushes with death would put a little wisdom into a person.

Us military sent hospital ships to NYC and LA, sent field hospitals to other major areas, not one bed was used because those cities' leaderships did not want to give Trump a talking point. They sent the infected to nursing homes to kill the elderly instead. The only story of overloaded ICUs was a lie published in rolling stone magazine. If you think that the government taking action during a crisis will ever be for your benefit, then you're not gonna make it.
