I personally think covid is no longer an emergency with the advent of the pill.

In a few months, I expect it will be over.



Do you mean horse dewormer pills?

They should make them really huge and taste terrible and turn your pee blue, just to fuck with people stupid enough to take them for Covid.

umvi:

It would already be long over with vastly fewer deaths, if only certain politicians and their followers hadn't downplayed it and lied about it from the beginning, and made not wearing masks and not social distancing and not getting vaccinated and instead popping horse pills hot-button political issues, all the while accusing the scientists and media of fear mongering, when the media was actually just reporting the scientific facts that trained experts were telling them, but that those certain politicians were systematically ignoring and lying about.

Fear mongering about the dangers of Covid may annoy and inconvenience you, but the most deadly, consequential, and intentionally deceptive fear mongering is from the lies and propaganda those politicians and their media outlets are spreading against vaccines and masks and social distancing.

And how much do you want to bet that the exact same people presently popping horse dewormer pills while refusing for political reasons to social distance, wear masks, or get vaccinated are going to also refuse to take the Pfizer pill because they decided to make it a political issue too?

If they don't trust science and Pfizer and their vaccines, then why would they ever trust Pfizer's pills? (Which begs the question: why the hell do they trust horse dewormer pills if they don't trust vaccines? Answer: because they were told to.)

Those people would eat lead coated asbestos pills if their cult leader told them to.

It's never going to be over until after those people have finished selecting themselves out of the gene pool, and that's going be a long painful time, while they're dragging many innocent people down with them.


What in the (insert various expletives here) made you react such poorly?

This is not the place for such knee-jerk reactions.

No there's a Pfizer pill now, they are in phase 2/3.


oh ok well as long as it's a Pfizer pill


I would love for it to be "over" in a few months, but until the media stops fear mongering every variant and case rates and such it won't be over.
