As my friends all catch covid due to my school and government give up on doing anything good, and people try to convince me masking is unnecessary, I have nothing but respect and support for China actually doing SOMETHING about the virus still slaughtering globally
The way China handles COVID has been one of the strongest factors in radicalizing me.
The fact that they have done something about the problems that are threatening to kill us all shows just how good a state the cares even a little bit about its population is. You cab debate if they’re really socialist or ever will be til we’re blue in the face, whatever it us they are doing is crushing the US and every other imperialist dumpster
Seriously, projection emoji when? This particular instance warrants an acid or agony version, I think.
How is this even a thing? The world moving beyond Covid? Or the global elite deciding that we’ll live with Covid? Because those are two totally different things.
You can’t be “beyond” Covid if you’re just going to let it tear through the population.
Ah yes, it is the zero-covid authoritarian China that is preventing us from moving on from the pandemic! And not the fact that, oh I don’t know, our dumb fucking western governments never tried any kind of serious comprehensive response to nip COVID in the bud and have thus created the conditions for the pandemic to continue in perpetuity. Couldn’t possibly be that, nope.
Well it would be silly to pretend that vaccine hoarding and the “sanctity of muh intellectual property rights” (can’t even waive those during a fucking pandemic!) didn’t contribute to the abysmal vaccination access in so many of those countries
Absolutely contributed. But there was never any “stopping” this virus once it escaped Wuhan.
so fucking disingenuous holy shit
Liberals are going to call anyone who cares about COVID doomers and “control freaks” pretty soon.
Fascists want you murdered because they don’t like your skin tone, your sexual orientation, or they simply don’t think you’re mean and badass enough, but will screech “LIVE AND LET LIVE” whenever they’re being the problem especially in a way that makes them part of some kind of in-crowd, from COVID to pollution.
