@toiletpaper @mystik @Xalef I’m so sick of this “If we just locked down harder” if we “masked harder” .. the masks have literally done nothing. The recent Dutch study shows the change infection rates between masked and unmasked communities is statically insignificant. The CDC’s own research says the same thing although they’ve tried to spin it to say otherwise. Studies from 2015 states that cloth masks wouldn’t help at all in an outbreak of a respiratory infection like flu or sars1.

Not to mention the vast over counting of deaths for CoV2 (and yet we’re not using the same techniques to count deaths from vaccines. Gunshot wound + Death +COIVD = COVID. Vaccine + Death = unrelated).

I also want to say, I fucking called this over a year ago:

I though in a year I’d be writing about that silly COVID experience last March/April. I never expected it to last past May. Fuck all of our insane authoritarian governments. I’m just glad I had the means to move away from the worst of it to a region that’s free.

@thor @shebang In woke ideology, minorities are not allowed to have flaws. It’s why Spider-Man: Miles Morales is so damn boring.

It was Gates who sabotaged the WHO Covid-19 Technology Access Pool (C-TAP), replacing it with his failed ACT-Accelerator, a system of patents and secrecy and vast profits for the pharma industry, ornamented with nonbinding, failed promises of access for poor nations.

It was Gates who convinced Oxford to renege on its promise of patent-free access to its publicly funded vaccine research for the global south in favor of exclusive patent access for Astrazeneca.

Gates has always been a monopolist, and so naturally, he loves IP (before "IP" was a common term, copyrights and patents were called "monopolies").

Intellectual property is a very important part of the inequality story, the story of how we got to a world where billions of people are denied vaccines and where all people face new, more virulent strains as a result.

What happened to the early pledges by governments, the WHO, public health experts and research institutes to create global cooperation in vaccine development, eschewing patents and secrecy so that we could rescue our species?

That dream was smashed.

Many people helped create our vaccine apartheid, the single individual who did the most to get us here is Bill Gates, through his highly ideological "philanthropic" foundation, which exists to push his pitiless doctrine of unfettered monopoly.
