time to require proof of vaccines from americans at airports and borders?

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 130 points 1 week ago

As an American I fully support such proposals.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah as an American I generally support the rest of the world trying to drag us back into the civilized world however they can.

But at the same time, international travel inconveniences will have a 0% effect on a LOT of people who need the message.

Proof of vaccinations are now stamped by RFK Jr. himself.

[-] Erasmus@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Sorry, all you get is proof of brain worms and essential oils.

Did Alex Jones not wear suits?

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Famously, not really. He's always stuck to business casual at best to make himself look more like a "man of the people".

Stocks in companies that make chainsaws powerful enough to cut the heads off of whales are through the roof.

Am I the only one who thinks companies providing healthcare and life saving medicines shouldn't be fucking publicly traded?? They need to focus on helping humanity, not the fucking bottom line go up or whatever.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago

Well yes that's obvious

It's supposed to be publicly funded, not traded

Someone a long time ago must have misheard

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

Except it's actually the best of both worlds for the rich - as far as I know, a lot of these companies are publicly traded AND receive public funding.

Sooo, anyone want to take bets that Bird Flu is going to be the next pandemic?

[-] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

The government has decided that pandemics are a hoax and as such do not exist.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 18 points 1 week ago

Off to the gulag, I go.

Avian flu thankfully didn't become a major pandemic in times past due to luck and measures taken. But SARS in 2003 could have become a major pandemic... because COVID-19 is a variant of the 2003 SARS...

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago

Good job American voters. /s

"Somebody shit in my pants."

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago

How do I find a way out of this dimension?

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 22 points 1 week ago

Such a sad time in history.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Possibly the end of history.

There's a magical wizard you must get to say his own name backwards.

Living in the twilight zone

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

These companies are huge, and know how to lobby the government. It seems to be the wrong industry to piss off.

[-] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

I never thought I'd side with big corporations...but for the next 4 years, some of them may well be the lesser evil.

Pharmaceuticals are an important component of modern life. We really need them now more than ever. They are a good thing.

Their capitalist greed and the big money that runs them is also doing all it can to suck every last cent out of the public.

Unfortunately both things can be true.

That's one thing I'm putting some hope in. Tariffs and stupid shit like Worm Boy running our national health infrastructure into the ground benefit no one. Not big companies, not us little guys. I'd hope these big companies will lobby hard to mitigate the stupidity that is bearing down on us.

I want to get off Mr. Trump's Wild Ride.

[-] SwordInStone@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

This sentence bears all the context it needs.

[-] solrize@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

This is farcical. Operation Warp Speed (fast development of Covid vaccines) was one of the few good things that Trump 1.0 did.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

From tragedy to farce as you give Trump credit for the work of Nobel prize winning medical scientists Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman. Bloodly hell we are moving towards being North Korea.

Yeah fuck giving him credit for what scientists did.
