And permantly disfigured even more with long COVID.

They knew what would happen. The US is wealthy with a huge military force. They could have locked down and mobilised their army to protect people until it was over.

But the oligarchs didn’t want to slow their profits and give up even an inch of their wealth and power, so COVID was allowed to run rampant. They sacrified their own people to the virus. These people did not willingly sacrifice themselves, they were killed through purposeful negelect.

They also encouraged other countries to do the same. My own country hardly had any deaths before US officials visited and pressured them to open again.

It’s no longer tracked properly so who knows the full extent of the death.

This could be one of the largest mass killings in history.

The worst part is when the news tries to spin how traumatic it was for kids to endure our pathectic excuse for a ‘lockdown’, instead of how traumatic it was to watch our countries murder millions for nothing and hear our friends and families parrot eugenics talking points to try and justify it.

EDIT: [CONTENT WARNING] There is a blue MAGA from another instance in the comments who is hand waving away peoples COVID experiences, so if you have lost a loved one to this disease or had your life or loved ones affected by it, reading the comments here might stir some trauma. Just a heads up.

    The vaccines literally came out under Trump, what are you on about? Obviously vaccines reduce harm, they both are for them, the only reason they posture one way or another is because of our culture war politics.

    There were concrete things that prevented people from dying and the democrats intentionally rolled them back and declared the pandemic over. Eat my entire ass.

    edit: before I get the fact checking nerds up my ass, I know operation warp speed was technically completed under biden, but it was like a month into his term, I just don’t care

      From what i remember it was deliveratley delayed because trump was pressuring them not to and they did not want to give in to politics.

      In fact the only ones who did the vaccine rollout rigth were the rusians. They released them before they were fully tested because there was an emergency. And the libs complained endlessly that they were unsafe. When in fact once the data came out they were the most efective ones. Even if they gadnt been you can always use another round of vaccination. Like it happened with some of the chinise and many of the western ones. Other countries un ordered the russian vaccibe because of preassure using this as an excuse. Harming vaccine production and leaving those countries whithout vaccines for almost a year.

      In reality these delays were just ritualistic and made things much worse than they could have been. And in this aspect everyone fucked up even china cuba and iran. The only ones who were the exception were the russians.

        Yes!!! I’ve been saying this for years. I would’ve happily been the first person in line for a test vaccine. The possible risks of a faulty vaccine were so so so much lower than the risks of covid from day 1. We should’ve been pumping them out as we tested them.
