AFAIK the correct solution to the pandemic hasn't changed since 2019: test and trace, pay and support people who need to isolate. That's the only way you prevent spread and the rise of new variants. China did this, now they can roll out the vaccines on a voluntary basis and while they're not completely relaxing other policies, they're not experiencing giant outbreaks.
"Well China doesn't have to deal with a population of hogs and they did it right from the start, we're so overwhelmed with covid we can't take such a lenient approach with vaccination now" Isn't it still true that most unvaxxed are also uninsured, and have good reason to be skeptical of the government and pharmaceutical complex? Pushing the technocratic fix on people is engendering resistance, and it can't /just/ be from the hogs, can it?
I'm not sure if a real solution can be implemented in the US, but I don't understand why so many people on here are embracing the solution pushed by both liberal parties. Like, trying to get everyone to drive an electric car is not solving climate change.
Should we just get used to the masks? Am I wrong and it /is/ just the hogs throwing a tantrum?
Edit: I'm vaccinated for covid, I guess I've caught a little brainworms comrades. Thanks
Why do so many people on this website act like masks are more effective than vaccines, despite the overwhelming scientific consensus otherwise? Comparing vaccination to electric cars is a "just asking questions" anti-vax talking point. Masks are fine, I wear them indoors in public places where there's no vaccine passport. Whatever.
Vaccines are the most effective and least intrusive tool for stopping the pandemic. Things do not stop being true just because Democrats say them.
Masks are effective. But no one wvwr wanted to invest in getting the entire population free N95 masks. And fauci’s media ouchie of saying masks don’t work because he’s a fool.
Yes, vaccines are the most effective tool for stopping some aspects of the pandemic, but masks are the compliment. Masks prevent the need for social isolating if used properly. They’re ineffective because everyone has fucking fake masks sold for huge profit margins lmao
Yeah, I'm fine with this. Masks are good! I wear them indoors! They should have been free, handed out by the Postal Service the day after the pandemic was declared, and Fauci should have been fired and discredited the second he said masks didn't work.
And of course, masks' limitations are that you have to wear them constantly and many cloth masks aren't good enough, while a vaccine is poke poke and done.
