You mean the thing that all signs point to Timcast making up and doesn't even have a corroborating quote?That doesn't explain the DoD stepping in.

What was that you were saying?
You think they would lie about contacting a gov agency and risk official ire over a truck spill?
The Judge really picked the wrong woman to try out his judicial activism on...Some good news at least.
Yep, as we've observed, the virus hits the elderly badly, if not given proper therapeutics and care, but the vax's side-effects are most pronounced among the younger people.
Does anyone have the study the tweet shows? If this shit is that bad we might just see a bloodbath.

Yes I am sure the fence sitter Tim Pool just casually faked a conversation with a federal agency, not like there would be a dozen people lining up to immediately use this to shut him down. Nigga fuck off.
*Context: HIV/AIDS being a gay plagueThe hard lesson is that it is very, very bad for humanity when we permit communities that incubate and spread blood-borne diseases.* So long as we permit them, we can expect more of the same -- new diseases we must fight, and old diseases made resistant to our best medicines.
Society has the right, based on the common good, to impose standards of hygiene on communities whose self-regulated standards of hygiene are not up to the level necessary to curb the spread of disease. Is that an accurate description of the principle you're invoking?
Is it masks, vaccines, or something else that you think we don't have "centuries of proof" about?Oh my, isn't that the loaded question?
When society has centuries of proof, yes.
When society has skeevy profiteers clamoring about how hygienic they are, no.
In the interest of not derailing the other thread, I am bringing this here since it seems topical.

But anyway, I'm not trying to get into the practicalities of whether this or that mask mandate or vaccine mandate is designed in an effective way. I'm asking you if you think the concept of requiring behavior such as doing certain behavior (e.g. washing hands), or refraining from other behavior (e.g. dirty sex), or taking prophylactic medication is something society has justification to do in principle. Or maybe you think it's OK for society to prohibit behaviors in the name of public health, but not to require behaviors in the name of public health, and I'd be interested in your reasoning.
So you agree that the measures are potentially legitimate depending on the threat being faced, and take the position that in this actual case the threat was not severe enough to justify the measures. That's fine, although I would rather not conflate the lockdowns with the mask mandates. While intrusive, mask mandates are much less drastic in terms of actual impact on one's life and livelihood. I honestly don't understand the anti-mask hysteria except insofar as it may be a battle of virtue signals.It's perfectly acceptable for 'society' to have a social expectation that you wash your hands after going to the bathroom. It's not okay for 'society' to pass a law requiring you do so. It's also perfectly acceptable for private institutions to ask you to leave if you don't do so.
If we had an actual, bonified recurrence of something like the black death, such a drastic threat could justify more drastic measures. How drastic? That depends on the morality rate and the transmission vector. There is a point where 'you are practicing bad hygiene' can reasonably be interpreted to be giving people around you a 1/10 chance of dying.
That's the point where you go to 'criminal negligence.'
The Covid hysteria was based on something that didn't come even remotely close. The only quarantine that could possibly have been justified was a quarantine of the elderly, since they were the at-risk demographic, with specific individuals also self-quarantining because of their own personal comorbidities.
This mass lockdown and mask mandate hysteria has been nothing but a power grab from the beginning.
