Why tf do we not talk about COVID?

Anyone that gets the vaccine and is hurt, regardless of minimum time after getting vaccine, is listed for adverse reporting, as having received the vaccine and then experiencing a possibly adverse effect.

You're not considered vaccinated for 14 days, this is for vaccine requirements for flying, for example.

In theory, yes you would hope an account is listed as an adverse reaction, but due to those who I know who were injured right after the jab, to those I know who work in hospitals in the ICU, acknowledging the shot as a possible cause, this was/is not happening.

What happened to them?

[MightyMind]

heart issues, stroke, brain aneurysm, skin complications...those are from people I know, it was either them or love ones that experienced reactions shortly after the jab and when asked about whether it was the jab (which they had to bring up) there was no inquiry or investigation into if that was a possibility. 

a family member works in the ICU, she was one of the first to treat a covid patient in BC and a year or two later once everyone was getting a jab she said her and others in the hospital saw that the more people that got jabbed it seemed like the more complications they had. 

Here's a troublesome account https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2GKPYzL_JQ&t=479s. Maddie de Garay. In a tiny pediatric cohort of just 1,131 vaccinated children, one of the most severe injuries recorded was downplayed, misclassified, and excluded from the safety analysis that led to emergency authorization for 12–15-year-olds.

You know people that had stroke and aneurysms after the vaccine? I don't know anyone with a complication.

Was it really though? Lockdowns changed how we thought about working in office and how much we relied on social media. A lot of people are still struggling with strong symptom of it (literally Yimpa in this thread has long covid.) The fact that we haven’t poured millions of dollars into helping people deal with on-going symptoms is criminal in my opinion.

What about the social aspect? Half of society proved themselves to be petutulant children who thought wearing a $5 mask to prevent people from literally dying made them fucking Soviet prisoners in a gulag. It’s absurd. 
 

What about supply chain issues and the economy? People blame Biden for inflation or whatever but when your entire society grinds to a halt, the economy is going to take a hit no matter what.

What about collective health and responsibility? Millions of people died. Could that number have been lower if society was more prepared and culturally aware of disease mitigation? It’s not lost on me that America - the richest country in human history - was also the home to the most COVID deaths. Are we prepared for the next pandemic? How many more thousands of people will die again needlessly because people haven’t gotten the memo that masks = good? 
 

Can you imagine if no one discussed WW2 or the Holocaust after 1945? We’d be culturally adrift. I don’t think we’ve “discussed all there is to discuss about it”, I think we prefer to ignore the question because it reminds us of our own mortality and that hurts our fee-fees. 
 

EDIT: What about worker’s rights and nurses? It wasn’t billionaires who got us through the pandemic (they all fucked off the Hawaii), it was front-line store keepers, factory workers, garbage men, truck drivers, etc. Shouldn’t that account for something?

And nurses and doctors obviously too. Thousands of nurses - again, people literally saving lives - had to give up their jobs after because the stress on the health system and the mass level of denial put them through traumatic shock. Hell there are literally thousands of nurses struggling with actual PTSD today. That’s not “a few years ago”, that’s TODAY.

For fuck sake. Why do I even bother. Pearls before swine and all that. 

All these issues have been discussed ad nauseam.

And they continue to be discussed, even though COVID doesn’t dominate the headlines everyday.

I’m not really sure what you are expecting. People have to move on with their lives.

COVID was a mass trauma event. So much of the political chaos in the world today can be directly traced back to it (yes, even Trump winning in 2024.)

You don’t move on from a mass trauma event by pretending it didnt happen.

It was traumatic, but no one is pretending it didn't happen.
