The media, regardless of where it's coming from, cannot function these days without established markets. Some call them 'echo chambers'. There's no money in telling people what they don't want to hear.
I intentionally left out what ignited by dad's health concerns. Some people who don't even know him, his age, his history, what led up this; they've already made up their mind because their mind was made up for them.
That should not even be an issue, sad that some people act like that.
Then nothing really changes I guess.
In his situation with that asshole, his explanation was shot down. I've seen people on Facebook (friends) rubbing it in. I see it here. But it didn't register. Millions put something in their body that they can't get out, while millions are saying, "Haha! You're going to die!" That's why I included the story about my ex as I was trying to process these thoughts. Would you laugh at someone or mock them as they're overdosing... NO. It's really fucked up and it didn't hit home until, it hit home. All these people sitting on the internet are only guessing.
No, I would not laugh, that is fucked up. There are people who are very close to my heart who took the injection(s). Some were 'pushed' a little to do so, because of their job.
A few got ill, only for a couple of days, luckily. In one case in particular I did not think it was funny at all. Still a bit worried, where will it all end.
Worldwide there are people who died after the first or second injection and some became handicapped for life. That is nothing to laugh, nor joke about, it is just very sad.

Over half of Canada took it. People are aware of the risks. They made a choice and most are fine. I don't discount the fact there have been problems either, but that was expected. Only the tabloids frame it in a way that makes it sound like medicine was trying to hide something. Only when framed politically, adding spin, was it ever said to be perfectly safe. Only when framed politically, adding spin, was it ever said to be fully toxic. People are duping one another with magnets, for views and likes.
The whole thing is nothing to joke about. Nothing to bullshit about either and I see a lot of that. No independent content creator or wannabe journalist is privy to inside information, unless they're looking inside their fridge, because that's about as far as they move in a day.
Feeling too tired to even try and continue this conversation in a way that I think is well balanced. Almost time for me to hit the sack.
Fully agree on: "The whole thing is nothing to joke about."

People can believe whatever they want to believe. Just don't forget there are others experiencing their lives within the chaos. Not every situation can be treated the same face to face as some do when on the internet rehearsing their usual/predictable talking points. There are two sides, both at times can be overly arrogant and inconsiderate. There are a lot of people on the fence, staying quiet.
