I find it worth noting that, as opposed to COVID, this time around it’s affecting rural parts of the US first, instead of urban areas. It’s the rural areas that, generally, didn’t take COVID seriously.
I wonder if this time around they’re going to stick to their guns about how simple protective measures somehow infringe on their freedumbs, or if a little prudence will suddenly become “the American Way.”
I imagine that the conspiracy theories about the Biden administration deliberately infecting cows with H5N1 over 5G networks have already started.
I don’t know why you would think that I would be heartlessly trying to blame either the animal victims or the human worker victims of this horrible set of circumstances (both of whose lives may be shitty enough without adding such to the mix) - that’s literally not what the word “sheeple” means - but okay, I edited the original comment to make it more clear that I meant those responsible for allowing it to continue forward from that point onwards, thereby transforming it from a random tragedy into a deliberate choice.
Which to aim for even higher clarity, affects not only their own personal lives, but all of our society as well, who will subsequently come into contact with one of those who deliberately made the choice to listen to a policymaker who flunked STEM before dropping out of high school, yet now sets themselves up to literally put scientists in actual jail for daring to contradict the authorities.
