Did you talk to your friend about it again after her uncle paralyzed that child? Like do you think the experience sobered her/changed her mind or did she just dig in deeper?

is “i want things to be cheaper for me and I don’t care who else has to suffer for it” not an ideology? It’s “coherent” if you accept that selfishness and malignant individualism is the driving factor for a lot of people who are too stupid to know what’ll actually serve their interests longterm

Having a cold really does suck - it’s part of why I didn’t stop masking. I used to get and stay sick so often. I’ve had only one cold in six years (down from multiple every year) that my partner brought home, and none since we switched to more effective masks

Yeah, data seem to show that young healthy men were actually at higher risk of dangerous acute infections, whereas women tend to see worse outcomes in the long term/be more susceptible to long covid

Like where is your brain at my dude

In what way can secret nipple tats to be of any use unless victimized women then expose themselves as proof that they haven’t exposed themselves?

If you actually read the article you’ll notice that “people at risk of this” are women, full stop, regardless of their level of public notoriety. People are submitting yearbook photos of women they have known in their own lives. Also this is just such a weird take.

It’s a pretty common misconception that countries with universal healthcare have longer wait times, but if you look at the data many countries w/ universal healthcare have equal or shorter wait times for procedures comparative to the US

Like the logical outcome to this line of thinking is just actuarial eugenics. People should just have access to healthcare.

Health outcomes for the fattest people are better than those for the thinnest, especially later in life (not that there aren’t bad outcomes for fat people, especially factoring in medical neglect). By this logic we should definitely penalize people who don’t have enough fat on their bones.

I can agree on that, but I think too often patients are given the message that they can see real health gains if they just change their behavior even in cases where it simply isn’t true because the environmental factors are so overwhelming

Eugenicists don’t care whether you have any control over the thing that marks you as inferior in their eyes. I don’t think they can really be reasoned with - you have to make a world where their beliefs are so unacceptable they can’t be uttered aloud.

we have to reckon with the fact that many people actually have limited control over their own health outcomes, and that treating good health as a virtue - rather than a privilege that ought to be made radically more accessible - is both deeply fucked up and really ineffective

Even if you successfully encourage “healthy lifestyles” (whatever that means) you’re not solving for the impacts of PM2.5 pollution (known to increase risk of all sorts of illnesses, from asthma to cancer to diabetes) or food deserts, housing instability, constant exposure to respiratory viruses

It’s also that nobody puts him in his place. He’s behaving like the cruel child he is and he’s totally unchecked

I wonder, what would've happened if the majority of doctors, out of decency, professionality, and caution, had put on a respirator... many people would now be wearing respirators in public spaces. They were one of the key factors in demonizing and throwing away the minimum precautionary principle.
