8/ If you claim COVID is like the flu, yet can’t explain endothelial dysfunction or microclots, you’ve confused vibes with science.

11/ If you think “endemic” = “harmless,” you don’t know history. Malaria is endemic. Tuberculosis is endemic. Both still kill millions.

"Personal risk assessment" is bullshit conservative speak for "only care about yourself." Unfortunately, a majority of Democrats have embraced this ideology as well. 90% or more don't bother wearing a mask to the grocery store or other crowded indoor places all -- or even most -- of the time.

At the rate we're going, the vulnerable will never be able to "get back to normal." US society at large doesn't give a shit. SO please....keep on living life while totally disregarding the effects apathy and selfishness have on those at risk -- which also includes the healthy.
