Paul Alexander, the last person on Earth living in an iron lung after surviving polio as a child, was just killed by covid. The shame of it. Nothing quite sums up the hegemonic project of covid normalization, and the total disregard for the lives of the vulnerable, like a polio survivor being killed by covid.
Wow, I thought that he died of natural causes. Now I know that he was killed by the stupidity of some entitled, harm-enabling people out there.
Covid is natural, and to be honest so is stupidity.
It is a shame that he was exposed by someone who wasn’t careful enough.
I was in the ER 2 weeks ago and all the staff there think masks are chin guards. When you call them out on it they get angry and put the mask halfway on for about 2 minutes, then resumed their normal stupidity and think they are paper chin guards again.
Bear attacks are also natural, but you don’t say “natural causes” when Erica gets her face eaten off by a bear.
Water is natural, but we still say they drowned, and not “natural causes”.
I would.
Hopefully you don’t work in statistical analysis then
I bearly understand statistics.
If you consider wet markets natural. These animals viruses (bird flu, swine flu, COVID etc) all come from either trench warfare, or animals housed in essentially trench warfare (wet markets, factory farming).
