I read somewhere that the previous Trump administration did make some policy decisions based on the belief that those on the left would be disproportionately impacted by covid. But do not underestimate how inept and incompetent Trump is also.

Make an effort to be healthy, and keep updated with flu vaccines. Moderna recently received funding for developing h5n1 vaccines, so keep an eye on that. And don't wait - you never know what stupid things Trump might do to suppress vaccine access.

I think it's human nature to "look for a reason" but ... these engineered virus narratives have never set well with me. It implies that the only way a pandemic could happen is if some person created it; that's incredibly self indulgent, "the only way man could die to nature is if man invented nature."

Viruses just happen; we've had a reprieve from major plagues and things and have been unusually healthy because vaccines and other advances in medicine allowed us to save many that would have otherwise died.

The only parts humans are playing in our current health crises are: A) Increasing the number of unvaccinated people giving viruses once nearly killed off room to play again B) Increasing the temperature of the planet which has been demonstrated to increase mutation rates and may release lost viruses trapped in ice and permafrost C) Cutting down large swaths of the Amazon rainforests which may also harbor lost viruses

In all cases, we're not creating the problem directly, we're just giving the advantage back to nature that research from recent centuries gave to us.

Ah, the classic baseless dummy conspiracy theory of governments murdering own people for a reason or another.

Edit: typo it -> or

Who's plan? The ketamine addicts or the pants shitter?

They aren't smart enough to develop a disease, but they are stupid enough to think that if they don't do anything about it, no one will notice (don't test for covid and the numbers will go down)
