The Coronavirus thread

Quote: rxwine

I thought you believed in a market economy?

I do.

Medical boards, insurance firms, government, etc. interfere with the free-market.

That's one reason it's screwed up and why costs are spiraling out of control.

It's a carryover from the socialist education system.


Need to reverse the incentive so less money changes hands.

Quote: rxwine

It’s not pretend since you claim viruses don’t exist. You brought it on yourself.

They can call it what they want.

If someone dies, the system gets a deduct (the medical system loses money).

If someone lives, the system gets financially rewarded.

But getting paid for death is insane.

it’s nonsense. Medical care was interfered with because it couldn’t meet the needs of the population in the first place. That’s not to say it does’t need constant attention and improvements. But that’s true of everything.

Consider another social system the government forces.

Social Security.

The longer a person lives, the more tax-payers pay out.

So the tax-payers are better off with death of a person (abortion).

But the individual is better off to stay alive because the person gets more money.

The system is based upon individual life.

The incentive is life.

Not death, as in the medical system.

The medical system makes more money the less healthy a person is.

A medical system incentive has to be based upon life and health.

But I claim it can be better if the free market is involved.

That's common sense.

The funniest thing about this is that Trumpers absolutely hate Fauci but can't explain why their dear leader never fired Fauci.
The answer is Fauci was doing a great job
Trumpers can't deal with the truth :-)

An interesting article from an investigative journalist that's been vaccinated and left-leaning politically.

There's a reference to the book "The Real Anthony Fauci" by RFK Jr. and this article is hosted on RFK's website.

Part 1: CIA’s Extraordinary Role Influencing Liberal Media Outlets Daily Kos, The Daily Beast, Rolling Stone

As a longtime investigative journalist and author, I have spent a good portion of my career researching corruption within U.S. intelligence agencies. I was nevertheless surprised to learn about the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) central role in crafting the militarized governmental response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. documents in the final chapters of his new runaway best-seller, “The Real Anthony Fauci.”

I’ve known Kennedy for more than two decades. I have interviewed him and collaborated with him on environmental articles and several books, including “Climate In Crisis.” I have great respect for his legal work and the accomplishments of his ongoing Waterkeeper Alliance. And I appreciate his dedication to alerting the public about alternative narratives related to the pandemic.

I am fully vaccinated and a believer in the efficacy of the vaccines. However, as a bedrock liberal with a deep reverence for the First Amendment and time-honored right to freedom of speech, I became alarmed that social media sites, including Instagram and YouTube, have banned Kennedy from pointing out flaws in the dominant narratives surrounding the COVID crisis.

In my view, Kennedy has been falsely vilified as an anti-vaccination disinformation “conspiracy theorist.” Blanket censorship by mainstream media seems to prohibit him from responding to such attacks.

And it disturbs me that once-idealistic liberal media outlets have devolved into apologists for the pharmaceutical industry (including its captured public health technocrats), as well as their stifling of any dissent. Why the vitriol against Kennedy, I wondered, from leading liberal news websites such as Daily Kos, The Daily Beast, and more recently, Rolling Stone?

A The Daily Beast headline appearing one year before the pandemic set the tone (Feb. 8, 2019): “Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. spouts his insane anti-vaxxer conspiracy theory in measles hot zone.”

Seeming to borrow a page from the CIA’s propaganda manuals, the liberal blogs have employed the signature trope of portraying opposition to official theology as the dangerous product of right-wing extremism.

After Kennedy gave a speech in Berlin in August 2020, The Daily Beast falsely claimed the event organizers were a “Weird Pro-QAnon German Group Behind RFK Jr.’s Latest Anti-Vaxx Stunt.”
