    There is so much misinformation and conservative talking points in this comment I’m having a hard time taking you as an honest person.

    It is eugenicist to assert that this thing is not a problem because only the right kinds of people die from it. You are arguing that it is acceptable to devalue particular lives because you view them as physically defective relative to you. COVID-19 infection has caused disability in millions of “healthy” adults who were not “vulnerable” peoples. At one point, the CDC designated corrective lenses as a comorbidity because they were so desperate to make people think it only impacts disabled people.

    We do know how different impact from infection vs. booster is because literally hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent researching it (infection is worse, full stop). We also know that your immunity diminishes quickly and that multiple infections absolutely fucks your immune and circulatory systems. We continue to experience an increase in deaths related to heart disease represented by groups who do not usually experience it, I.e. younger, “healthy” people.

    Nobody cares about what is equitable “to you,” what the sweet fuck do you know about public health or equitability? You didn’t even know how the funding works let alone what the best decisions to do with that funding is. Nobody anywhere in this thread has said the vaccine is the sole solution, I even pointed out that COVID-19 is politicised so heavily because it is only effectively addressed by community consciousness that prioritizes human life over profit. No, not “people are too morally flawed to stay home and because of the original sin we can’t mitigate death from COVID.” It is impossible for that to even be an option when medical leave and necessity costs are not subsidized in this country. That wouldn’t work anyway, as many people do not show symptoms and are not currently required to mask to access spaces where “vulnerable” people receive medical treatment. Individualism is not a worldview that is compatible with reality.

    I will not be responding to you again, you’ve shown that you are an apathetic and dangerous person who feels no responsibility for what they say.

      I’m having a hard time taking you as an honest person.

      I appreciate the attempt.

      At one point, the CDC designated corrective lenses as a comorbidity because they were so desperate to make people think it only impacts disabled people

      So this is the source of my misinformation. I’ve been told, and had no reason until now, to believe that certain vulnerable groups have worse outcomes, and therefore need extra protection. It makes sense to me to give these people extra protection (which a targetted vaccine scheme seems to do).

      Nobody cares about what is equitable “to you,”

      Individual me, no; multiple, yes. The pol in politics stands for people, public health is a political system. If public health Québec isn’t doing enough on COVID, than the people must demand action.

      The funding was obviously hyperbolic, but PH does have to work in a resource constrained environment.

      people are too morally flawed to stay home and because of the original sin we can’t mitigate death from COVID

      Never said that. We can’t stay home because “the economy”

      you’ve shown that you are an apathetic and dangerous person who feels no responsibility for what they say.

      Im sorry you think that. I like to believe I think mostly rationally with the information presented to me. That doesn’t mean i have the best information, or right circumstances, to make an optimal choice.
