>Health Secretary Sajid Javid is "confident" that COVID booster jabs will begin to be given to the most vulnerable from next month. The government is still waiting for the final advice from expertsWho the fuck are these magical experts that tell the government what to do exactly? Where are they? -

I like how the new ones are a "booster" as opposed to a "jab" to trick people into thinking its different -

@shpuld i never heard them being called boosters when it was just the second shot bro, it was always "double jabbed" -

is it me or is Japan intentionally botching covid so they have an excuse to have stronger border controls and to kick more foreigners out -

my economic views (Britain needs to become protectionist and fully embrace coal) are probably held by such an insanely extreme minority I can't even estimate just how small the amount of people who share them. you literally need a double contrarianism combo where you reject BOTH climate change *and* liberal free trade as being bullshit evil fake lies in order to arrive at them -

@guizzy @shmibs @lain shmibs knows what's best for those people, don't impugn her honor, it's for the greater good. also her first reply hinted that you need "near global cooperation" to solve this. possibly the biggest red flag of all which set off massive alarm bells in my brain. the nature of how these crises simply get used to advance the interests of powerful classes of people, and the lengths that they go to to convince themselves they are just trying to help everybody when everything they propose will just happen increase their own power, these all lead me to be extra suspicious of everything i hear. also i will say i do genuinely appreciate shmibs steelmanning the side of the debate that i don't get to hear very much. -

@shmibs @guizzy @lain would you be against someone intentionally contracting the virus themselves so they can become immune to it and then contribute to herd immunity rather than get vaccinated -

@shmibs @guizzy @lain i have absolutely no idea what's going on. does the vaccine prevent transmission or doesn't it? -

I heard in California many hospital workers are minorities who also lean antivax and that they're looking at lots of staff shortages due to the mandate -

@guizzy I don't understand why unvaccinated people are a public health risk when the vaccine is already available to anyone that wants it. you can't blame them when its so easy to get the shot if you want it. -

@guizzy that's a good argument at least. also i've heard that countries that lockdown fare no better than countries that don't. -

This is my uncle, a prominent Antivaxxer activist. He was hospitalized 7 days ago for covid after swearing to never take the vax. On his deathbed he confided to me that he was wrong and begged me to save him but it was too late. -

@mono i don't even know what total war would look like in present day. i don't think you can get rid of war, but i also don't know if letting some regional war exist will necessarily end up always with global total war. i'm really deeply suspicious about that as a liberal teleology. i see those arguments as "shh, war bad, just let us be in charge, let everyone submit to us and we will end war forever" in the same way as Islam demands submission etc. i see it as a Machiavellian political formula. but also being wrong about this question means i'm gambling with all human life everywhere so it's a pretty big limb for me to go out on -

this talk of feudalism has reminded me Academic Agent has this concept called the Car King about how an-cap could very easily just devolve into feudalism if entrepreneurs take over areas and then employ everybody in the town, and then they start worshipping him like Immortan Joe from Mad Maxhttps://youtu.be/trEHNPoEgQ4?t=1144 -

@Publius they need to channel their unhappiness over being ruled badly not into various creative ways to escape, but into cultivating their own powah so they can rule themselves how they want. -
