I think it was disinfectant that was recommended for chugging. That and putting lights inside my lungs.
A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
I hope to never be a hero, this country treats its heroes so poorly.
An example I learned of recently is Smedley Butler. Super decorated military careerist, but once he got out, he wrote War is a Racket and called out the corporate profiteers directly. The man basically singlehandedly foiled an attempt to coup the US government and prevented fascism from corporations like JP Morgan, City National Bank (Citibank), General Motors, Goodyear, Standard Oil, and more. Congress investigated and confirmed there was a coup planned and they would have acted. And since these companies don't exist anymore, we can see that they were prosecuted and held accountable.
Oh wait, that's right, they slandered Butler, called the whole thing a hoax and paid off the papers and members of congress to run the stories so that no one faced accountability.
Fauci is a hero.
Republicans--- every single one of them--- are fucking morons and pedo protectors.
Working in a retirement home. Covid arrived and within a few weeks, a third of the elderly died. The doctor that said it was just the flu didn't dare come near the place after the first few deceased. And still so many people didn't wanted to take it seriously.
I was delivering packages on Sundays during Covid, and retirement homes were always the scariest to deliver to because I was very conscientious of the fact I could be infected and I did not want to pass it through those doors. Fortunately most places had notes to drop packages at the front doors, but each of those deliveries was another chance to worry for the elderly inside. Thanks for working through that time, but also I’m sorry you did.
nursing homes, retirement community, centers are rife with abuse/neglect already.
Thank you for being there with our elders during such a horrifying time. If not for brave people like you they would have been alone.
Don't forget that hospitals in desperate need of PPE had shipments hijacked and stolen by the feds, given to corrupts pop-up resellers run by cronies and auctioned off back to the hospitals that originally bought them.
Having a memory and attention span longer than 2 weeks is fucking exhuasting
The New England Patriots used their private plane to smuggle PPE into the country because the regime was stealing shipments off the runway.
I, like Pepperidge Farm, also remember. That was such a massive shit show, I have no idea how the Administration Responsible for PPE Hijacking managed to get a second installment of the show going. That really should have been the end of them all.
People treat 6 years ago like 20, eh?

A century ago, Fauci would have been lauded as a hero.
He is in my book.
Even just a decade ago.
Dubya's supporters would have hated him
Stupidity has always been a defining characteristic of the 'Murican people
Another fucked up part of this is how much this brain dead conservative American anti science rhetoric spread across the rest of the world.
The brain dead right wingers are poisoning the world with their special flavour of idiocy.
You know, I used to think there was a possibility of Human self-destruction simply because we're slow to react to say the climate crisis.
I didn't think it would happen because a large portion of humans have become literal idiots.
That was a nasty wake up call during corona.
Hey, lots of places did it quite well, given how challenging it was
It's was mostly 'Murica who chose to kill the vulnerable rather than just be halfway decent people
True, but even in Europe the portion of people that let themselves get influenced into thinking corona was fake and the measures taken were fascist/dictatorial was waaaay to high.
Yep. It hit Japan hard too, anti mask anti vax fuckwits multiplied, oh and vaccines cause autism too didn't ya know
Carl Sagan demon haunted world
Should be required reading for every human adult

The hilarious thing is that half the 'masks cause brain damage' crew is now masked up as ICE agents so no one can see their crimes against humanity.
To be fair, ICE agents do demonstrate a correlation between masks and brain damage. (The causality just happens to go the other way.)
It's worse actually, he took PPE from states he didn't like and sent it to Russia. There's a phone call proving it. Literally giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
And ventilators, testing kits and actually useful medications (not bleach or horse dewormer)
Anyone with family in medicine with even half a brain or heart during this time is keenly aware.
Yellow ribbons for days for troops, but largely thankless, brutal work for medical personnel. Turnover was high throughout and following covid from burnout and disrespect.
Dr. Fauci is a national treasure, up there with Mr. Rogers.
Trump and Republicans were responsible for so much loss of life during that time. People still don't fully grasp.
Yeah, kinda hard to forget how millions of people said "some fucking idiot politician doesn't think this is real/as bad as doctors and scientists say it is, so clearly the politician is right because I'm an entitled overconfident asshole who doesn't wanna give up muh freedom". For the first time in human history (probably), we had the ability to prevent millions of deaths with knowledge. The circus of morons threw that in the trash.
Weird part is that they say that politicians are lying and corrupt, and still somehow believe them.

Fauci was trying his best to navigate a shitty situation and you had fuckers like Krystal and Sagaar on Breaking Points spewing hatred at him. All of them are fucking assholes. Fauci isn't a fucking politician or pundit or anything ... he's trying to save lives by making choices and decisions where people were ready to sacrifice him regardless for political reasons. But Breaking Points are oh so happy to shit on him and the comment section is full of antivax and covid deniers.
