Incredible summation of the elite capture of a public health systems and our Covid response. I will be sharing this with many others who may not be paying attention to the motives and interests of those that are dictating our policy and safety guidelines. Motives and interests that are NOT aligned with the well-being of most of us. THANK YOU JUSTIN. -Earnie Banks
Thank you for sharing. Living through this pandemic has me feeling like I'm living in an upside down world. This information reassures me that my feelings of frustration are valid.
Right ..... That's just like the first time a friend of mine told me to watch don't look up I never heard of it a few years back , after I watched it once I was like WOW replace the asteroid with SARS2 virus 🦠 and we have a real-life documentary😅
This was a good talk and very informative however I do think it disconnects from reality on two different points: -Assertions relating to capital as though it was only to benefit one person or a small group of people and not everyone else whose livelyhood depends on it. Although no explicitely stated, the undertones minimizing the harms this economical disaster has were present. -The much lower relative lethality of the omicron variant compared to the ancestral strain calls for a re-evaluation of what is an appropriate response. I think this has been completely ignored and begs the question whether someone who has a lower risk tolerance should expect all of society to restrict and exclude itself to meet their personal threshold or if they should exclude themselves until they deem the surrounding conditions to be appropriate for their own re-integration.
"Lower risk tolerance" allows the pandemic to rage on. It is a phrase used to describe these who are lacking a sense of accountability to their communities and others.
Oh, your second point is so naive... The real problem with this virus was never the acute mortality... it's the long-term damage it does to pretty much every system in the body: the brain, the heart, the vascular system, the liver, the kidneys, and of course the lungs are ALL damaged by COVID, often severely. We do not yet know if anyone who has had COVID will ever recover from this damage. That's the reason why China has been so adamant about their Zero-COVID policy. They know if they "let it rip", it will absolutely destroy their future economy by disabling vast swathes of their workforce.
@@torinireland6526 That inference is simply not supported by science and current trends. Also it's not until we get a clearer picture of what the collateral damage of the virus vs the counter measures has been that we can benefit from the retrospectometer. So far draconian measures have been applied with fairly good adherence but have yielded very limited success. And let's no forget that it's the hubris of authoritarianism that's allowed this catastrophe to manifest itself into a pandemic from an epidemic.

This was so informative, and depressing too. 😅 Thanks for making this available.

@@sarahmartin4196 You're delusional if you think you can stop this pandemic. Other's shouldn't be mandated to suffer your delusions.
