Wow. When I first saw this headline, I clicked through expecting satire. Nobody could write that headline seriously, right? How wrong I was.

They are weaponizing empathy. The title says it all. Living a decent life and minding your own business is now going to kill someone. If you do not support the borg, people die "because of you!!"

I mourn for our species. So many incapable of living life simply, without this doom narrative of "I have to be saving the world with my every (in)action! If I don't, I'm evil!"

This is what the loss of God has given us. Absent a way to conceive of a force beyond our control which manages - and has always managed - natural processes such as plagues, daily bodily functions (insanely complex), climate, etc, etc, humans are now convinced these are all our job to control. No wonder mental illness is going through the roof. We are being told we are responsible for a job which is totally and absolutely beyond our intelligence to comprehend, not to mention control. This is equally true of "scientists" as it is of anyone else.

We aren't remotely powerful or knowledgeable enough to try to pull off what we are being told it is now our duty to do.

To those who believe an article like this, I say Please stop "control freaking". It's killing you, and you're gong to take the rest of us with you.

I totally support the article. Anything that helps convince morons to get the vaccine which has a high probability of removing them from the gene pool has my support.

    A. That should eliminate those too lazy to bother escaping tyranny. Eliminating both stupidity and laziness seems like a good idea. I will move to north Mexico to escape.

    B. Parents who let their kids get vaccinated should be eliminated from the gene pool, so pushing vaccines on kids is eugenic.

    I read that thread, and I think you're underestimating the lawlessness and violence. I wouldn't want to even live near the border of Mexico on the US side, it's wild. We get the occasional cartel killings here anyways.

      Wish I had your confidence on the removal. Seems more likely that it's just one phase in a multi-step plan of some sort. Or maybe it's more subtle and will act like Toxoplasmosis, but more compliant rather than more risk tolerant.

      I don't know how deadly the current vaccines are. Obviously it is now impossible to get valid data. But I figure they will just keep varying vaccines and increasing the frequency of vaccination until they stumble on something deadly enough to make a difference.

      I'm down for a vaccine but it's going to be nobodys damn business when I do get it, even if it keeps me out of concerts etc, I'm so against the concept of a vaccine passport.

      RT...a Russian website, pushing a communist policy? Why am I not surprised?

      They say that German society was way to obedient...

      "No fully functioning society has an absence of regulations. When we arrive at an airport, we hand over our passport for scrutiny. At the other end, we provide personal details and agree to abide by the law of the land in exchange for a stamp in the same passport. When we drive a car on the road, the police have a right to ask us to show proof that we’re legally allowed to do so. For those of a certain age, there’s a requirement to prove their date of birth when entering a bar or buying alcohol. So this obsession with complaining about complying with government conditions is irrational."

      The difference being that getting the current passport does not require risking your life (or risk getting maimed) to do so. Nor does getting a drivers license or State ID card. What is "irrational" is the expectation anyone would consider "complying with government conditions" worth the risk of life or limb. What is even more "irrational" is the fervent belief that one has zero right to redress should said vaccine cause death or permanent injury, which is what the indemnification against legal responsibility to the vaccine manufacturers, those requiring vaccines, and those giving them make clear.
