Florida hospitals declared Code Black. Will cancel non-emergencies
This is NYC level emergency back in March 2020
Drs said the majority are not vaccinated
Look at the hospitalizations
I agree with your sentiment… you just made a great case on why focusing on social programs/universal healthcare/livable wage/affordable living/affordable education/etc. are needed and should be promoted.No it’s not the cause nor why it exists. Look it’s a 3 dimensional world and you can never eradicate one with out the other or another if that makes sense for you
My point is, and on a broader scale is that modern medicine can create other problems.
Take life expectancy for example. The entire economy was built around the age of death. Well now due to modern medicine people are exceeding the original estimation of life expectancy. Our social programs where built upon life expectancy data and by keeping people alive it defunds these programs.
I often hear how millennials are lazy.
Let’s take a look at boomers. I know of many who have retired at 55, have multiple properties, complain about welfare while living to 90 and having open heart surgery while on Medicare and being kept alive so they can sit in a chair all day. And they’ve been retired longer than they were in the workforce
Does that not drive prices of medicine, insurance etc up for others?
Or let’s look at hereditary health issues. If you create a treatment for an issue you create a dependence for that trait to the medicine. Much like a relationship between a dealer and user. Now if that user is kept alive and procreates plentiful the dealer gets richer but the survival of those users is dependent upon the dealer.
Long rambling story short is my position is although modern medicine and breakthrough health procedures can be useful, they can also create other problems.
150 kids under the age 12 died in Indonesia last week. That's what happens when we let this shit hang around.The 50-64 year age group had the greatest number, but it’s a lot more distributed than in the pre-vaccine days when it was nearly all elderly. Click on “Monthly” if my link doesn’t default. Worrying trend for sure.

Awful. This article says more than 100 each week of July.150 kids under the age 12 died in Indonesia last week. That's what happens when we let this shit hang around.
I agree with you to a certain extent (I was speaking more United States only) but not on living longer being a problem for resources but population growth being a problem ..Im all for affordable healthcare.
However I disagree that humans living longer isn’t a problem. It means more people, which leads to more consumption of resources.
I will remind the forum that this is not a thread to spam shitposting. We have two other megathreads about the vaccines and lockdown for that.
Bring discussion of evidence, including citation of it, or do not post in this thread. Do not clutter the thread with personal spats or partisanship. I will be cleaning out posts and posters who fail to abide.
Thank you.
There are already nearly a dozen in place.Thank you sir. Some thread-bans for the thread-derailing shit-posters would be greatly appreciated as well.
So take your vaccines and leave everyone else alone. Problem solved.They havent had a single death in 7 months. Proof that vaccines work

Joe Biden "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations,"I didn't realize there are still people who think you won’t get Covid if you are vaccinated?

the country has 250 million people150 kids under the age 12 died in Indonesia last week. That's what happens when we let this shit hang around.
Gibraltar is a tiny country at the entrance to the Mediterranean that's primary industries are tourism and shipping. I can't find confirmation if the very small outbreaks (in terms of total cases) in Gibraltar are even of the native residents. That's why their vaccine rate is 116% of the population for two doses. Passer-throughs who aren't citizens are getting the vaccine in Gibraltar.Up by 2500% percentage - from one case a day to a whopping 28 new cases a day, which is still significantly less than the last wave without the vaccine.
Can I mention that I got my second Pfizer shot today and I'm super happy about it?
Everyone in my family has had both shots.
Go Montreal, the whole affair was incredibly organized. Got my appointments online, went to a giant room in a mall where they were administering a dozen people at a time with a staff of a couple of hundred to process everyone. All I needed was my Medicare card which was quickly scanned at each station, so each station took seconds. My proof of vaccination was emailed to me before I got to my car on the way out, the fifteen minute wait for side effects was longer than the entire rest of the process, including the line to get in.
