In case it’s not painfully obvious, this is a parody account.

  • I like a further way to put it into perspective and to show how far as global society we haven fallen since:

    The WHO launched its vaccination campaign against smallpox in 1958 and it lastet until 1977. So during the height of the cold war the West, the Sovjets, China and all of the Third world came together, to get everyone vaccinated. While pointing nuclear weapons at each other they all still understood what a shitty disease that is and worked together on this issue, because they all saw it as a responsibilty to rid the world of that disease.

    And they fucking did it. They vaccinated almost everyone in the world so the disease is considered extinct. Today we get Karen instead who’d rather have half the elderly in her community die, than wear a mask while shopping.

      Well, right now I regret wearing a mask during covid because the elders are getting us all the shit right now with authoritarian liberalism and anti-climate protests.
