		NaturalPhallacy on Sept 18, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Renting a car will be a pain until at least 2022 ~400K Americans die of preventable medical errors every year. No hysteria. No pandemic. Not even news coverage. Our population grew by 0.58% during the pandemic. The media does its very best to blow everything out of proportion for ratings. COVID is no exception. What a win for big pharma. 640,000,000 doses of a drug they can't be sued for. It's absolutely fantastic for them. Now look at who they bribe. It's been an incredibly good couple of years for our oligarchy.

Tu quoque, COVID: we foolishly ignore other fixable problems so we should ignore this too?

Strawman version of what I said, of course.

You had no idea about the preventable medical errors killing 400K people a year did you?
