We can't trust the government now. We couldn't trust it before either, but we also can't trust it now.

The sad thing is, there actually used to be some areas in which you could trust the government. You could trust the CDC for health information, the FDIC with your money, the FDA for food regulations, the USPS to deliver your mail..

Nowadays, everything good about government will be getting axed and everything bad amplified. But what can you do~

If there's a Covid-25, I wouldn't recommend getting a vaccine from this government. Not without a consensus approval from blue state governments.

Oh, you won't have to worry about that. With RFK Jr. running things, there won't be a vaccine.

I would wait for a Canada or EU approved vaccine.

Will they require people to be vaccinated to travel if they're explicitly traveling there to be vaccinated?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Fun question. Unfortunately, I assume yes. They used to check your vaccination status before granting you entry at the border/airport.

What with how Trump is pulling out of WHO and deregulating the chicken industry, if the avian flu becomes transmissible to humans, it will make COVID-19 look like childsplay. At which point things may get so dire vaccine hesitancy is likely to get you killed, and I'd probably recommend a quick plane trip to Canada to get vaccinated, if that's even still an option..

I'd be surprised if they offered any vaccine.

I used to not trust the government.
I still do not trust the government, but I used to, too.

You especially can't trust it now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago

We can trust that they will do the absolute worst thing instead of not knowing if they will or won't!
