Then why do we need enough bullets? You suggested we should kill people, not me.
And I'm not antagonistic, I'm a scientist who actually understands how diseases work, unlike you apparently. And I was early in line to get vaccinated, and boosted.
And you think non-capitalist production modes could have mass produced billions upon billions of vaccines and tests in the early months of Covid spreading, before such things were even developed? Because that was impossible.
Sorry to shit on your rather short-sighted worldview, but it's entirely wrong.
mocking voice "I'm a scientist."
Of shutting the fuck up?
Yes, as labor produces vaccines I see no reason it could not do so without it's surplus value being stolen.
To enforce quarantines, incentivize vaccine uptake, and shoot infected deer.
Christ, why do you shoot (pardon the pun) right past what the guns would be enforcing and in your scenario just start shooting wildly?
You've already admitted it's to preserve capitalism—which is really fucked of you—but Jesus dude
Of Bioanalytical Chemistry.
By shooting people? If you're not going to shoot people, you don't need bullets. So again, you are the one who implied we should be killing people to stop covid.
And hey, if you're using guns to enforce a quarantine, that means you have people out during quarantine to do the enforcing, people who might actually have covid because once again covid is asymptomatic in 50% of people.
You also still need people out farming, delivering food, running power plants, maintaining infrastructure, etc... All of whom could have asympotmatic covid.
Doesn't matter if you have capitalism or socialism, when covid was initially spreading we had no easy way to test for it (we were stuck using PCR, which is time consuming and uses lots of resources), and we didn't have a vaccine because it wasn't invented yet.
Do you think socialism can just magically make an invention appear immediately, and magically make the necessary resources to make it show up?
And whose making these things? Oh, workers, who might have covid, and might spread it to each other.
There is no eliminating airborne illnesses, and I don't know how you still don't get that?
You should go back to school and get a doctorate in shutting the fuck up.
If they break quarantine. Christ. Read. That does not say as you keep insinuating "shoot everyone right away".
Hazmat suits, testing.
Hazmat suits, testing, hazard pay.
Not if you keep insisting your haircuts are more important than human lives.
Yes, your incredible maturity is so convincing right now, it's making me fully agree with your baseless and incorrect viewpoint.
So you're a-ok with killing people? Not cool to me, I'm pretty against shooting people. And to stop such a highly transmissible airborne illness, you would have to kill everyone eventually, because it can easily spread through quarantine through ventilation systems.
And where are we going to get enough hazmat suits and testing equipment? They do have to be made you know.
You're the one insisting we shoot people, I think you're the one who doesn't value human lives here.
You also want to kill off cats, deer, muskelids, bats, and many other animals, because no one is going to test every wild animal out there, it would be logistically impossible.
Isn't all this being wrong in my notifications taking away from your studies?
I hear DeVry has a great program in your field.
Yes. Yes the fuck it is. You are continuously advocating for the deaths of vulnerable populations by not controlling covid.
We are both advocating for killing people*, we just disagree on who and how many.
You want far more people dead, and without the option to just not spread plague to avoid it.
*although if people stay home like they're supposed to I'M not necessarily arguing for killing anyone unlike you.
I'd ask how many people you're ok with covid taking to keep Arby open for a few weeks, but you'd deflect like you've been doing so I won't.
