Why is it that ever since covid came around people have lost the ability and common sense to take care of their health?

Like seriously. Before covid, being cautious of your health and safety was common sense but now everyone criticizes you for wearing a mask, getting a vaccine. etc. people are getting ridiculous.

I have noticed that many people think they can erase problems by pretending they don’t exist and I believe it’s a part of our culture for some people. One person I know has had diabetes for over two years and refuses to eat nutritional food because “she’s not going to let her health problems stop her from enjoying life.” Now her diabetes is so bad she needs injections. I have a friend and male cousin who continue to eat foods that I tell them are proven to cause cancer, cause “they need to enjoy their life.” Pretending cancer does not exist will not stop you from getting it! But kale and green peas might do the trick!

I remember at the height of covid, I had to mail some packages for my business and the guy at the counter went off because I was wearing a mask (he wasn't). I didn't say shit to him about his life choices, but these were mine because I have an auto-immune disorder. I mean just imagine telling off a cancer patient for wearing a mask.

We each make our own choices. Wear a mask, don't, wash your hands, don't. Whatever. Just leave people alone and let them be whatever side you're on, because yelling and screaming about it isn't going to change either sides mind.

Because those things are the opposite of taking care of your health. Being exposed to fewer pathogens means weakening your immune system for when you DO get sick, violating the ADA means deaf people are more likely to beat the snot out of you, and taking untested drugs is risky even when they CAN'T spread Covid-level contagiousness to diseases that're actually dangerous.

You’re obviously a trump supporter. People take the flu shot with no problem. Untested? It’s been out for years now.

And you're obviously someone who chows down on Thalidomide. Standard FDA long-term testing of a new drug is AT LEAST five years. I'd love to hear how you do five years worth of testing in ten months- and how an animal fatality rate of 100% is up to your standards of safety. And, for that matter, how a civilization-destroying plague is an acceptable potential side effect for a disease less lethal than chicken pox.

But then, asking those questions requires having a brain, and you don't qualify.

Common sense would tell you that many of the claims made by "experts" on Covid were complete lies.

For example the "experts" said that there was no such thing as natural immunity after catching Covid, and that you still needed the vaccine. Common sense should have told you that this was a blatant lie.

[MusicTokuXX]

No offensive but you sound so st**d writing this. Are you a trump supporter? A anti-vaxxer?

Explain how I’m wrong. Calling people who disagree with you dumb Trump supporters isn’t an argument, I don’t think you actually have one.

I found a new job a year ago and find it hard to work full time and see a doctor. I hate using PTO for a doctidmrs visit.

[MusicTokuXX]

@exitseven? You find it hard to work full time and see a doctor? What do you think everyone else does? Everyone needs to see a doctor. Pls do not act like you think that’s normal

[exitseven]

I don't get much time off so I try not to get sick. I had to forgo taking a vacation because I needed surgery. At least it looks like the surgery worked so at least there I'd that.

If you drown out the noise from the far right, people do take their health seriously. Don't listen to the noisy complainers.

[Anonymous]

You must be American. I have noticed people are generally far less health conscious over there.

[MusicTokuXX]

I can’t tell if that was supposed to be an insult or not
