And permantly disfigured even more with long COVID.

They knew what would happen. The US is wealthy with a huge military force. They could have locked down and mobilised their army to protect people until it was over.

But the oligarchs didn't want to slow their profits and give up even an inch of their wealth and power, so COVID was allowed to run rampant. They sacrified their own people to the virus. These people did not willingly sacrifice themselves, they were killed through purposeful negelect.

They also encouraged other countries to do the same. My own country hardly had any deaths before US officials visited and pressured them to open again.

It's no longer tracked properly so who knows the full extent of the death.

This could be one of the largest mass killings in history.

The worst part is when the news tries to spin how traumatic it was for kids to endure our pathectic excuse for a 'lockdown', instead of how traumatic it was to watch our countries murder millions for nothing and hear our friends and families parrot eugenics talking points to try and justify it.

EDIT: [CONTENT WARNING] There is a blue MAGA from another instance in the comments who is hand waving away peoples COVID experiences, so if you have lost a loved one to this disease or had your life or loved ones affected by it, reading the comments here might stir some trauma. Just a heads up.

The economist estimates 8-20 million death worldwide, and it's still killing and disabling people. The acute phase is a lot less deadly overall, it's still several times worse than a bad flu season when cases are low. It's crazy what we've normalized.

If I could, I would send smug liberals (and ghoulish policy makers) to the ICUs of every hospital with people drowning in their own lungs and make those monsters recite their takes about how stonks-up were far more important than their lives.

If the nurses (or the families of the sick and dying) didn't like those takes and fiercely debated them, I wouldn't mind.
