The year is 2023. Influenza still exists. And in the year 2100, Covid will still exist. The thing is, we don’t care anymore; it’s not effecting 99.9% of us, and those that are threatened by it can take precautions, such as regular vaccinations and even wearing a mask. They’ve got that freedom.

The 1918 flu no longer exists. You can tell by the fact that tens of millions of 20-30 year olds are not dying every year.

Covid still exists, you can tell because 200k are still dying every year, covid is still the third greatest cause of death in the US, just below heart disease and cancer, and because people are still being crippled by the hundreds of thousands due to long covid. Most of all of these young people.

Why so many? Because they are not being careful enough - not wearing masks, not keeping distance, not getting vaccinated, or even all three. Because government and industry has decided it is too expensive to deal with covid. Because they need the serfs and peons - that's you - back at your jobs and recreation so that profit is restored to the wealthy. Globally, this is happening - not just in the US.

And this is exactly what happened in 1917. And 1915, too.

And, like I said before, 1918 happened.

Because Nature doesn't give two shits about your precious, precious freedom. All Nature cares about is reproduction. Viral reproduction.

Well, I’m sorry but that’s just your opinion.

I could give you a much longer-winded response about how dubious and unreliable resources about Covid are, and how unreliable the testing and reporting was, and about how the ‘experts’ kept conveniently changing their minds/policies on Covid, and about how profitable the lockdown and the vaccines were, but, I’d rather not waste my time.

You do you, I’ll do me; we’re both finally free to live that way, thank god.

(I can’t believe this guy mocked freedom like that’s a good thing)

When you have a family member permanently crippled by long covid - as I do - then perhaps you will finally understand.

Everyone always feels immortal and invulnerable until reality finally hits them hard.

I grieve for the lesson you will one day, inevitably, learn.

I’m sorry to hear that, but that’s not my problem, either. I don’t change my life based on others’ experiences as opposed to my own.
