They prove that the state provides real solutions that work, and that if we suspend our rights and expectations for ourselves and put our trust an dfaith in this superordinate entity, we can all benefit.
It is difficult to make sense of the line of reasoning when your conception is as broad as the concerns for which it attempts to operate, but when you limit the scope to just this one variable, then all is well. But what does it mean to say "it works"? What could that mean?
This, of course, ignores anyone's previous expectations. You either had none, ro you had a casual conception based on the figures presenting themselves over and over in the media headlines. And who still believes headlines? After years of quips RE media sensationalism, why would anyone choose to believe media are honest and accurate? One might say that, with this type of subject (medial issues), they can't afford to be wrong - but this is ignorance on the part of whomsoever is excusing them, because they fail to realize how difficult it is to prove the causes of such broad biological effects. It doesn't serve people because of accuracy, but because, given its role and alleged reputation, one can reference it even when wrong as one can plausibly deny that they feigned being misled. So this makes it safe to reference in spite of veracity, and regardless of your personal intentions.
Work should always mean that you can expect to live longer: "But it is about quality of life". Indeed, it is, but if something is to be considered useful in mitigating some threat, then the benefit to quality of life is its greatest selling point. In this case, "work" means a temporary period where your likelihood of illness is reduced, but where the number and frequency of infections is increased. This is a ridiculous standard upon which to reason the end of bodily autonomy.
We haven't taken care of our world, we allowed for inequities to go on long after it was already deemed unacceptable. We have long needed an event that shows us that the state of the world is not okay. An event which gives us the chance to start again.
COVID (they mean SARS-CoV2) hurts the most marginalized the worst. If lab leak, it is the result of rich white men who have to always control everything or make money through their privilege. This is them pursuing precarious means for rewards.
It was only a matter of tim before the party of the privileged would come to an end. Be it by the unequality that previously existed and our unwillingness to do something about it.
COVID is as whiteness and patriarchy. The unwillingness to address it and also to do everything we can to keep it at bay is wimilar to how Marcuse said we are always on the brink of turning Fascist again. Even if not COVID, we are allowing the same type of thing to occur again because no matter how clean and protected we all are, there is a class of citizen who can never be protected, and thus we must ask for follow-ups.
Only when the most unprotected are protected will we have health equity.
How does the mind conceive of all health only being considered when one's own is drawing attention upon the supposedly most vulnerable? Is it diminishing one's own potential for care? It might eb more realistic to consider that ensuring the best care for the most vulnerable might be more akin to reserving the best care for when you yourself are most likely to be in the greatest need of it.
Why would one reject such care? Is having care not in your best interest (at all times)
But this is most obviously in everyone's best interest. The vid will leave you with every awful symptom you fear from the vaccine, and we don't know the long-term effects of long COVID. Such a broad and complex comparison.
Blood clots, Myocarditis, Virus itsef, Destruction of immune system.
The mere fact that this was uttered so unequitably and excessively, at such an early moment...
