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.

No shit conservatives are worse. But that’s like being stabbed in the eye is worse than having your eye removed under anesthetic. At the end of the day you still lost an eye. Millions still died due to neglegence. Facing reality doesn’t mean we support the GOP.
You delusional tankies just don’t understand that if you don’t support vote blue no matter who, you’re the same as Republicans! In fact, you’re worse, because my uncle is a Republican cop who shot someone a while back and got a raise for it, he’s a real hero!
you are a conservative.
I’m sure that chud wants legal weed and maybe free college, but you better not stand in the way of the sit-in restaurant treats or the free refills thereof.
I thought you were arguing that liberals making choices that increased harm were actually reducing harm.
Maybe holding patents for vaccines was reducing harm in ways we couldn’t otherwise see.
That’s true. Every night before I go to bed I look in the mirror and tell myself “the adults are now in charge and you are not smarter than them. Everything is back to normal, and that’s good.”
To be fair they are as adult as it gets without being corpses and even then some of em may be.
Imagine thinking electeds in america have any qualifications beyond how much campaign money they have. Meritocracy is such a trip.
I remember arguing with a load of libs about that when they started to praise Bill Gates as a good billionaire. Even his own fucking foundation eventually realised that they were wrong and there are still people arguing that the important thing to focus on when people were dying by the millions was upholding fucking patent law.
The most important thing was protecting the profit of pharma corps even when the ENTIRE FUCKING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COST WAS PAID FOR WITH PUBLIC MONEY in order to reward ‘innovation’. Just covering the wages and costs wasn’t enough, gotta reward the fuckig shareholders for a job well done.
The “redemption” of bill gates is one of those things that makes me wonder if i haven’t disconnected from reality. He’s such a ruthlessly evil, destructive person.
